Running away from something you didn't even do is like walking around with an A4 paper sized note saying 'just put me in jail already.' It's guilty, but when it's the only option you have why wouldn't you take it? Disappearing and starting over from a fuck-up like that 𝙖𝙣𝙙 on a perfectly clean slate in conditions better than your last is rare, incredibly rare. Anyone would run straight into that gate, but that hardest pill to swallow is realizing that the door leads straight down the same path you were trying to get away from.


𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑱𝑨𝑯 𝑹𝑯𝑬𝑻𝑻
Everything runs like clockwork and all I have to do is follow the arrow. Nothing I've ever received has come from my own sacrifices or my own bones, things have sat comfortably on my plate in front of me-Friends, job opportunities, scholarships, women. I've never had to pull a muscle to reach for any of it. So maybe this was my karma. Gods version of giving me a real taste of what it's like to be human-what it's like to have everything taken from you from right under your feet without warning. Except when is it enough, what will it take to keep what's important to me when everything else is gone.All Rights Reserved

Sure Thing by winnieiswriting

[𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄] 𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐍 𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 30 Months... Almost three years since my accident. My first game playing pro in the NHL and I blew it. Many people have tried to help me but I'm past giving a fuck now. I just want to be left alone to drink my sorrows away. It's clear I'm never going to play pro again, so why do people continue to push me towards getting help? I don't want it. Until I do. All she has to do is whisper, "It's simply a setback. Which means you come back stronger." 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 30 Months... Almost three years since everything in my life changed. I've loved, I've lost, and yet I still have some light in my life. I've been fighting for so long that I don't know the difference now. I thought my career was over. My fear of men completely debilitates me from doing what I have always dreamed of. Until him. All he has to do is scowl at me and knock my son over. With strengths and weaknesses being put to the test, it will take everything in them not to crumble from the pressure. After all, too much weight and the ice will crack. And if the ice cracks, they will have to question if their love is a sure thing. *This is an interconnected Standalone therefore you don't have to read the first book however characters have already been introduced.

Legally Yours by svftliqhts

"You can't be serious?" I stare at him in disbelief, blinking as I notice there isn't any sign of a lie. "Why would I marry you? I mean I see your benefits, there's nothing in it for me." "I have something you want, you know that. You're just to stubborn to realise it." He shrugs, slouching in his desk chair. "What do you have? A bad reputation?" "Money, you and I both know just how much you need it right now." He says, staring back at me but not in disbelief. He's fully serious about this. ------ Gianna Rose Rowell hasn't had the best start in life, by the looks of it, things aren't changing. She grew up poor, someone close to her is ill. She has student debt bills, rent months overdue and now doctors bills to pile on top of that. Working as an assistant for a hockey player doesn't exactly help that either. Aiden Bennett is privileged, he always has been. Unlike Gianna he has grown up with money. Unfortunately for his parents, he didn't want their lifestyle, which to them didn't matter. He inherited the company and had his side thing. Hockey. Put the pressure gets to him and he turns to other means to distract him. Marriage of convenience trope.

The Last Day by bluebirdist

There was never even me and you. There was only me waiting for you. It seems like I have always been here, in this space of time. Never moving an inch forward nor an inch behind. And its safe to say, that you will always expect thing between us to be this way. I was the net you fell on when you jumped too high, only to fall back down. But I'm tired of waiting when everything moves ahead and I'm still here behind, waiting for you to come back. And so I close the chapter, as my ink dries, knowing those words written or said could never be taken back. Even those unsaid ones that just lay between us. Now as I stand alone, isolated, while everything speeds past me, I slowly blink and let the weight fall from my arms. Because there never really was me and you. There will only be you waiting for me. ------ A story about a girl trying to mend her heart while finding her passion. But it seems impossible until Chris shows her otherwise.

╰┈➤ ❝ [I stood there in unequivocal revelation, the lagging pain slowly catching up with me, but before I could release a fraction of the pain into my screaming, a bell rang, and suddenly, pilfered from my body was the ability to move. My face neutral and my muscles disabled as I fell face-first into the hard, scathing rock that lay unmoved before me.] 》* 。 • ˚ ˚ ˛ * 。° 。 • ˚《 Imagine awakening in an environment you deemed unfamiliar, your back thrumming in pain, with your mind staying clear of how you ended up there or simply the moments that lead to your position. You try to find a way out and later realize that you can't even remember who you are; your memories purged, your identity unknown. It takes you a good amount of time, pain, and effort, and eventually you manage to gather tiny fragments of who you were along with the trauma of how you retrieved it, but it's okay, maybe it's all worth it as you finally make contact with another person. Turns out she was your best friend. Finally, it looks like all is turning up until you learn of all the inhumane things you've done in your past, things that evade your newfound morals, things that were so detrimental to society that when you hear the reason as to why you've been enduring such agony, you understand why. How many people did you even end up hurting? What did you do that was so bad, that it made millions wish the absolute worst of you? What will you do now?

POV by E_Lyric

Life often presents itself as a series of hurdles, each one taller than the last. These hurdles, though daunting, are not meant to break us but to shape us into who we are meant to be. It is through our darkest nights that we gain the strength to face the dawn. It's when we are at our lowest, feeling like the world has conspired against us, that the seeds of resilience are sown. Every tear shed in frustration waters the roots of perseverance. Every sleepless night, spent grappling with doubt and uncertainty, serves as a silent testament to our inner strength. It is in these moments of struggle that our character is forged, like steel tempered in fire. The sweetness of success is not found in the absence of hardship but in the victory over it. The taste of triumph is more profound when seasoned with the bitterness of the journey. It is this contrast that makes success not just a goal but a celebration of the human spirit. In the end, it is the hardest times that give flavor to our achievements, making them not just milestones but moments of profound personal growth. Through pain, we learn endurance; through failure, we find resolve. And when success finally comes, it is not just a destination reached but a testament to the journey endured. ◉⁠‿⁠◉

Breaking the Ice | ✍🏼 by ikc_writes

A brother and a sister. One is the captain of the hockey team in a small town while the other aspires to be the best figure skater out there. But what happens when they cross paths after a year of being apart, and everything has changed. One doesn't want to be seen by the other, rather wanting to leave the small town for bigger opportunities and the other has lost their aspirations to be the best figure skater, rather wanting to be on the ice hockey team. Everyone thought that nothing could come between the two of them, but maybe there is more to their story. Maybe they both have secrets they have been hiding for so long that they don't even know the truth. But what happens if it isn't all about how they have changed and grown apart and that someone else was involved? No one knows the truth, but maybe by adding the bad boy's, The Armani's, to the table will bring someone down, or someone else up. Just bring the grandchildren of a designer together and see what happens. See who breaks first. See who messes with the Lauren's first. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know who you are anymore" "I trusted you. I trusted that you wouldn't do that to me but you did it anyways" "I'm not the good girl you left behind for your hockey team. People change, Aiden.

Forever Mine (ROYAL RIDERS SERIES BOOK #2) by NightTime_Storiexs

Never in a million years did I think I would cross paths with him again. Michael Woods. The boy who broke my heart. The boy who picked hockey over me. The boy who left me behind. After giving three years of my life to him, it was all over after his college graduation. He went his way and I went mine. But I never imagined landing a job at his agency when I moved to Boston four years later, let alone as his assistant. A job that's meant for me to service him, do as he asks, and give him all smiles. So, I play the part. I play the nice, kind, sweet assistant in public and ignore him like my life depends on it in private. The thought of getting close to him again terrifies me because I know. I know that once I let him again, I'll never be able to let him out. And if I do, it'll be at the cost of my heart, and this time he'll leave it broken beyond repair. I used to think he was forever mine. But hockey changed everything. What would he do now if he had to make that choice? Me? Or hockey? Or both? . . .

Frozen Desire (POU Riders Book 1) by swiftiee97

"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear. "You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him "Try me," He challenges. "Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore." He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice. "My problem is that I'm scared," "I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it." Aidens eyes bore into mine but he doesn't say anything. "Are you attached?" He asks. I glance away and then back at him nodding "With you? Too much." I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek "I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A grumpy figure skater and a golden retriever Hockey Captain.
