Now, Christen wasn't quite sure when she figured out she needed touch kind of like she needed oxygen - but the fact remained that if she wasn't touching someone or being touched in some way she just felt...unsettled.
She suppose, if she had to pinpoint it, would guess it had started far before she had even been slightly aware of it. It sort of made sense now why as a baby, she was practically inconsolable if she wasn't being carried, or why she took such a long time to be trained to sleep in her own bed, away from her parents.
Maybe it was when she got older, a teenager, realising that people were a lot less naturally inclined to physical contact - that when a boy touched you or you touched him, as innocent as it may have been, it suddenly came with strings and expectations and rumours.
She suppose she could've realised it when she finally got into the National Team, a solid place on the roster for World Cup's and Olympics alike, where the women on the team joked and laughed around with each other constantly, affectionate and comfortable with each other in a way that Christen could only dream of achieving.
It could've been when she met Tobin Heath.

You Are My Home
Story in Tobin Heath's point of view. When I look back when we first met I wouldn't have thought that we would end up here. We obviously had our differences. These differences kept us apart for a really long time. Actually, that's not true many things, kept us from being together, but they were all my fault. She was perfect and I was far from it. She always wanted to go back home and I didn't even have a home. My team once said that I had one of the best smiles, but what most people on the team didn't know was that that smile was covering up how I really feel. The decisions I make now aren't just about me anymore. I see her sitting there a crossed from me in this hospital room and I know it's my fault.Complete

WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MENTIONS OF SEX, EATING DISORDERS, DEATH AND SWEARING! IF ANY OF THIS AFFECTS YOU, DO NOT READ! - Finished on February 10th 2024 :) - Lily Taylor had always dreamt of making it big in the WWE. As a young girl, she would watch the matches religiously, her tiny frame curled up on the couch with a bag of popcorn, her eyes glued to the television screen. Her mum had always been supportive of her dream. At the age of seventeen, she stood at five foot one and weighed a mere one hundred and sixteen pounds. Her hair was a beautiful shade of brown, cascading down her back in loose, flowing waves. Her piercing blue eyes were her most striking feature, often making people stop and stare when she walked by. It was in this same wrestling club that she met Demi Bennett, another seventeen-year-old with the same dream. They instantly became friends, bonding over their shared passion for the sport. Demi was slightly taller than Lily, standing at five foot seven, but they were both equally as determined to make a name for themselves in the world of professional wrestling. She weighed in at a solid one hundred and forty pounds, her athletic build a testament to her years of training. Their friendship grew stronger as they practiced together, pushing each other to be better. They even started attending local matches, studying the moves and techniques of their favourite wrestlers, eager to incorporate them into their own repertoire. Despite being smaller in stature, Lily and Demi were fierce competitors, never backing down from a challenge. Their raw talent and infectious enthusiasm soon caught the attention of the club's head trainer, who saw potential in them both. But this all came to a stop when Demi suddenly leaves the club, no warning at all, leaving Lily feeling lost and heartbroken. Lily learned to move on and forget, her once best friend.Complete![Preath: Head In The Game [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/197022587-256-k685020.jpg)
