Nicolas 'Nico' Cruz-
Life is all about sacrifice. Your physical health for you mental. Your sanity for bliss. Yourself for them. But when you find something you truly love, and it gets taken away from you, then thats when people need to watch out. Ice-hockey was what kept me sane. It was the only peice of my father that I loved. Now I'm not sure whether thats enough to pull me out of my downward spiral. As my life goes to complete and utter sh** that's when the universe gives me the one thing I thought that I could live without. Love. I never knew that love would come in the form of a beautiful, firey girl. Aleyna, as much as I hate it, I can't deny that she's got me drawn. Like a moth to a flame. But as our lives fall apart, is she willing to be the other half to my broken self ? Because this time, I'm not letting the world take the last person I could ever love...
Aleyna Gonzalo-
Never would I have thought that this is where I would end up. The world has taken alot from me, but I'm not going to let it take this. Moving to Ontario was supposed to give me a new chance at life. Court Dame University was going to get me out of this mess of a life. But when old problems resurface I realise how broken I am. How much I need someone. I thought that Nico, the University's big time hockey king was just another shallow athlete. You know, the typical, rich, sleeps around, just cruises through life dude. Turns out that while he seemed to fit that stereotype, he is so much more. He see's me. He feels me. Its like our souls have met before. As I continue to fall apart, I realise that i'm not the one to pick up the peices this time. Its him. The only question is, am I willing to be vulnerable with the one guy I should stay away from ? The one guy whose very presence threatens to shatter the last of my broken heart...
