Piper Antherton is the girl you see out on the street staring at something and smiling, but when you look in that direction, you see nothing. She's the one with the smile on her face even if things are rough. She's the one with a sad look in her eyes, and there may have been light in them long ago, but that radiant shine of theirs is gone.
Once upon a time, long ago, she might have led a normal life, with a normal family with normal friends. She might have had a boyfriend who loved her and said he would always be by her side. She might have had a best friend who she shared secrets with and would always help her back on her feet.
But when things get rough, it's hard to keep hope, and it's easy to give up. And when you give up hope you begin to fall.
Follow Piper as she finds her happily ever after, and discovers that not everything is hopeless and everything is different on the field, than on the sidelines.

And the closer she gets, the more he pushes her away. But Piper didn't come this far to let one broken boy scare her off. Even if he might be the one thing that could break her in return.Complete

-Let's get this straight. From a dead end job to a useless crazy ex boyfriend- my happiness is with my best friend yet the fear of our relationship ending completely scares me and id rather fake it and be in fear than find out and never be happy. It sucks, seeing him everyday and knowing what i feel for him and how deep those feelings go is painful...- But when he comes around everything changes for the best and for the worst. As a whole they are deeply loved and equally as hated by others but the love from one another is undeniable, if only she wasnt so selfish with her choices and words- -Lying, cheating, sneaking, crying- many acts and emotions come from within when there's someone you love unaware of that love.. Possibly growing to love someone else right before your eyes..Its gut wrenching, i know because ive fucked up. Its worse when you're aware of the harm you cause yourself and others but dont care how the outcome turns out to be. Why would it matter how it effects you if youre used to pain and people leaving? it wouldnt. All because you take comfort in your own mind and mental illness, once you realize you have freewill it may become a bad thing if youre careless.- - Gabriella White.Complete

I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away. "You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly. "Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who lays his hand on you. On what's mine." I said and crashed my lips onto hers. I kissed her roughly and possessively, I made her know who she belonged to. And if anyone said otherwise, they'd have to deal with a bullet in their head. * * * Nicholas 'Ace' King - Don of the Italian Mafia and the most feared person around.
