"The water hears and understands. The ice does not forgive." 

They met age five, tiny, stumbling to pull the weight of tiny hockey bags stuffed full with pads and an extra pair of laces, because their parents could never be too careful. Their parents held their carefully taped sticks and met eyes as they climbed the steps leading to the rink. It wasn't a place for magic, this hockey rink; yet Bella would swear, in years to come, that she felt some sign from the ice that they were meant to be best friends. Her parents laughed as she said this; she was cute with her front teeth missing. Not a place for magic, but Winnie certainly thought so, skipping home.

But somewhere along the way, that changed.

Tightrope

33 parts Complete Mature

Becca and Will were once best friends. From immediately clicking at the school bus stop at five-years-old, to bonding over their love for hockey and future ambitions, it was always Becca and Will. Will and Becca. Even as they navigated the toughest parts of their lives, they could always count on each other. Becca had met Will when she had needed him the most, and Becca stood by Will through the times he could barely keep it together with everything going on at home. Nevertheless, as inseparable as they were, Becca one day simply disappeared. She left without explaining or even saying goodbye, and Will never heard from her again. That is, until eleven years later, she showed up at his team's arena, where he was the star player for the Chicago Whispers, claiming she was the new team publicist. Eleven years of silence made Will want nothing to do with her, but still, she pushed and held onto their lingering love for each other, determined to explain everything and get back in his life, even if it means walking the tightrope that hangs between their past life and the present. Still, as time passes and life stories are exchanged, Becca and Will might just realize that they aren't meant to be best friends this time around. Maybe, just maybe, they are meant to be so much more. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO @dearrheartbreak NAME Val R
