We build our lives on the most unstable things; ice. All of us built our futures, our careers on ice, something that under pressure would crack. And for all of us, it cracked, and we fell through.

He thought he was ready. The world thought he was ready. But apparently, he wasn't ready.

NATHAN CHEN was set to win the gold medal at the 2018 Olympics, he had everything, the quads, the luck, the mental game. But at the Olympics, everything gave out. He was just an 18-year-old, with too much pressure on his shoulders.

KIERRA YU was a shot in the dark. She came out of nowhere, with the ability to randomly and spastically throw quads. She had the so-called "full package." She knew what she was there for, to win. Yet she got distracted and too involved, and in the end, it lead to her downfall.

VINCENT ZHOU was young and naive. He had never won, and going to the Olympics was honestly just for fun. He wished that he could be more, more talented, more skilled, more of everything, but he wasn't.

Three athletes from the United States of America, three destinies, three skaters that fell short. 2018 brought failure, in all sorts of aspects, from skating to their love life. But all three are waiting for their redemption skate, the skate where they win. But jealousy, lovers, and exes never mix, and some will rise, and others will drown.

Yet to move on they must all forget the past, learn to forgive, and give second chances. But to all of them they still question; Can you juggle a career and a relationship? And in a world full of secrets and lies, which one will rise, and which will fall?

TRIGGER WARNING. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SUICIDAL, DEPRESSED, ANOREXIC, OR THIS MAY TRIGGER YOU IN ANY WAY.

"Wait," I put my hands on my hips and frown. "You woke me up to ask me this? Because you want to meet me every morning at five?" "Yes." "So you honestly expect me to throw away three hours of perfectly good sleep just to have coffee with you?" He rolls his eyes and smirks at me. "Yes." "And what's in it for me?" he takes a step towards me. "Duh. You get to drink coffee with me every day for a year," he points at his face. "Are you going to say no to this pretty face, are you?" I hand him a five-dollar bill. "Fine, I'll do it," he smiles. "Now go get me a mocha latte and a cream cheese bagel." √ √ √ Ella Cliff has always been the girl with a perfect Instagram feed, an amazing closet and boyfriends to die for.

First part of the Beverage-Series Seoul, South Korea. Inbetween of skyscrapers and millions of people, there are two people who somehow seem to always hit the Rock Bottom of life. Mentally, financially, always down to do whatever it takes to somehow get through the day. Kim Jaehyun, who barely hit the 25-Years-Barrier last year, is one of these two people. With his parents deceased in a car accident two days after his fourteenth birthday, no closer family nearby and no place to go, he hit point zero when he dropped out of highschool to become one of Koreas famous idols. Obviously without any further success. He is talented, of course, but there always seemed to be people who were more talented, more handsome, more easygoing and stress-free. And after one of countless auditions he participated in, he got to a point where he just somehow gave up on his dream. Working in one out of a million convenience stores in Seoul, he started to spend almost all of his income in things, that would finally take away all of his pain... But something in his live started to change, without him realizing it, when he met Choi Jimin, who seemed to go through all and the same problems he knew from his everyday life. ****TRIGGER WARNING**** The story, you're about to read contains stuff like smoking, drug & alcohol abuse, abusive & toxic relationships, depression, selfharm, anxiety and vulgar language. Do or do not read, if you're going through any kinds of these things. It's up to you, but I warned you. Reader discretion is advised.

I didn't expect anything like this to happen... just in minute everything shattered before my eyes, my world was falling apart. "what am I going to do now?!" Everything seemed so bland and dark after that moment. Everything seemed so... useless and everything was in pieces, small little broken pieces I couldn't repair.. "I'll be fine Mui, don't worry... doctors said that sooner or later I will be able to go back home" Those words that my brother said didn't help much... more like didn't help in the slightest. Every day I lived in fear of loosing another family member... the last family member, the last person I was staying alive for, the last person that helped me keep hopes up. "I am sorry" "My apologies but.. we can't hire you" "I am very sorry but you are not hired" Every single time I tried to get a job those were the only words that I heard... I couldnt get a job, the rent was already a lot of money and I had to pay my brothers medical bills too... I was loosing hope. Every single day was the same, waking up, going to school, trying to find work and crying myself to sleep... until one day... "you are a cute one, how about you'll give me some good time for a bit of cash~?" That sentence scared me but... I was in a need of money so desperately I... I agreed. From that point on I... I managed to get enough money but... I wasn't happy, I was feeling terrible, I wanted to die... every single time after someone fucked me I came home, exhausted, most of the time crying so much I passed out from exhaustion but... I kept on doing it... do save my brother... Life seemed so dark until I met him... Kamado Tanjiro.. new student in my class...

Best Life

52 parts Complete Mature

After her life reaches new lows, Katie moves on to try and make a new start. Her grief follows her and her unbridled anger threatens to take an even tighter grip on her life. Until she meets Adam. Can he show her a better way to handle her grief? Can she learn to trust him? Will his mesmerising smile be enough? Will she discover what having the best life really means? ________________________________________ I have issues. Lots of them. But I'm mostly angry. I'm too much for most people. Just the way I fucking like it. It's much better for everyone to just stay the hell away from me. My safe happy angry life. So why does the universe insist that we keep crossing paths? And why does he insist on fucking smiling at me every single time? ________________________________________ I have to admit, when I first laid eyes on her at the bar, I could barely breath. She was stunningly beautiful without even trying and although she left without saying a word, the way she looked at me with those pretty eyes had me hooked and wanting to be able to see her again. I wondered about the who, what and why she felt like she needed to run like that. Her obvious defence tactic is that angry scowl she wears like armour, protecting herself from any harm and dissuading anyone from attempting to get too close. I plan on getting as close to her as fucking possible, if she'll just stop running.
