Heart As Cold As Ice by lau_matthews

2021 Watty's Shortlist! *Mostly edited* T/W: physical abuse "Why did you sign me up for Tinder?" I roll my eyes, "Why else do you think? To get you a girlfriend." "Pretty sure I told you I didn't want one." He retorts and I shake my head quickly. "No, I told you I was going to find you a girlfriend and you said 'sure, whatever you want.' So technically you didn't say no." Alondra Brown has one rule for herself. No messing around with her father's hockey players.

Avoiding him isn't an option because he actually does need her help, but helping Jack goes against her rule. She shouldn't worry about anything happening with Jack because he's a notorious playboy who doesn't believe in love. Not to mention he also plays hockey. But she isn't immune to his charm. The heart wants what it wants, no matter how much you try to deny it. highest ranking: #41 out of 2.2 million in love

Obsessively - *currently being edited* by megcorb

Joey Avery appears to have everything. Happiness. Loving parents. A life all mapped out. But it's all a lie. An entire life based on a lie. First of all, she's a her, not a him, though it gets people confused all the time, since her name is typically given to boys. Second of all, she isn't happy, and she clearly doesn't have the perfect life she pretend to have. She's beautiful and fun to be around, but she's also full of secrets, full of dark thoughts, full of nightmares. She's fighting to survive. Xander Wells is a complete act, he's the kind of guy you see on paper, but never meet in real life. Dark, mysterious, the biggest I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude when it comes to girls, he's a fighter. Not because he has to be, because he wants to be. He lives for a little bar fight, for the thrill of being in a boxing ring and hitting the crap out of other dudes. So what happens when two people, trying to be things they aren't, find comfort in each other? Are they going to let their guards down or build even higher walls?

What he doesn't expect is to find Lucy, a homeless girl, hiding from the winter frost in his dad's shed. Elliot's busy, complicated life doesn't permit room for error, and falling in love with a girl from a totally different world sounds like the opposite of a good idea. But Elliot can't help but be drawn to Lucy and her elusive ways--even when she seems to vanish from his life non-stop, each time leaving him with a bigger hole in his heart. But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined. With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.
