When it comes to sports, the only moments highlighted and broadcasted are those that are golden, when an athlete is at the top of the mountain, fearless. The trouble is that the lowest points in our lives are ignored and clouded out. It is at these times where one's character truly shows.
All Sam Delmont has ever known was football. From the age of six, he's just been the boy who fell in love with the game and never looked back with nothing in his way. As the starting wide receiver for his junior year, Sam was on top of his high-horse with no intention of coming down.
However, after sustaining serious injury early in the season, he experiences what it's like to have his world taken away from him, and faces a battle with his own attitude. What decisions will Sam make during his road to recovery?
A story detailing not the sport itself, but everything that is not seen- how an athlete deals with status, pressure, attitude, and fear. Find out in perspective why nothing should ever be taken for granted, and learn that once you give up, you may never go back.

God's Field |COMPLETED|
UNDER EDITING Michigan's soccer team had once again made it to the play-offs as the returning champions. Everyone excepted them to take home the gold, but as fate would have it, they would never make it to their destination. An eighteen-wheeler collided into the bus full of Michigan's varsity soccer players. There was only one survivor, Jacob Green. Six months after the accident, Jacob now lived in Kansas. His parents were hoping to give him a fresh start, but he only fell further into grief. All he could think about is how his closest friends in the entire world were gone and he was still breathing. And for a while, that's all he thought about until his best friend, Fisher King, who had died in the accident, reappeared. Jacob couldn't seem to catch a break from the occasional panic attacks, to Coach Sanders insisting he joins the soccer team, to trying to figure out why he could sometimes see his dead best friend, and to figuring out his feelings for a girl that seemed to be caught up in it all. He didn't know how much more he could handle before he broke and it would take a girl way out of his league, a couple of cocky football players, a nagging coach and an all powerful God to help a broken boy learn the value of life again. •• #69 in OUTCAST- 2021 #32 in ATHLETE- 2021 #83 in BROKENFAMILY- 2021 #64 in JOCK- 2021 #10 in GOLDENBOY- 2022 #10 in PANICATTACKS- 2023 #24 in NERD- 2023 #8 in OUTCAST- 2023Complete

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

Close Your Eyes, Mr. Player
If someone had told me that Jesse Larson, the schools biggest douche bag had lost his sight, I probably wouldn't believe it. But when you see it for yourself, you're suddenly willing to believe that pigs can fly. But none of that went through my mind, as I watched him lose everything he ever had. I knew what it was like to be shunned, hated and unwanted. That's how he'd made me feel my entire life. But somehow a part of me just couldn't let him feel worthless, no matter how bad he'd made me feel. All I knew was that Jesse needed a friend. A real one. One that wouldn't judge him or gossip about him. One he could talk to. A person that could care about him and love him like no one else.Complete![Pucking Expectations (UNI Lions #8) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/393607838-256-k828140.jpg)
