But there is one thing that she only knows. She's slowly breaking on the inside. From her two-faced abusive father that no one knows about, not even her older brother, to her mother who is in a coma because of cancer. 
------------------------
During her agonizing time in highschool, one thing kept her intact. It was none other than the Hockey Captain, Asher Everett Winters. Son of NHL legend Bruce Winters.

69 parts Complete Mature
Graduation is right around the corner for Ada Sinclair. She's spent all of high school saving up for her dream college and skipped high school traditions to keep her grades up for scholarships. When the acceptance letter came in the mail, every ounce of her effort felt worth it. She's spent her life being a small fish in a small pond, but eagerly awaits September so she can spread her wings and move on to big things. When her mother comes home to reveal she is in the early stages of Huntington's Disease, a disease passed down from her own mother, she can't hide from the truth she may be next in line. It is then that her plans and dreams for her future shatter. Nothing is more important to her than her family, people who need her and her strength more than Ada needs her dreams. Not knowing how much time she has left with her mother, she makes the choice to remain at home and has no regrets. Only the fear of uncertainty. Feeling like the world is crashing down on her, Ada turns to the man who's been there for her for the last four years. He'd given her the confidence she needed to become the woman she is now, held her while she cried and has been there through every struggle she's faced. He seems fully willing to be there for her again, even if that means risking his career as a teacher; her teacher. As their friendship grows stronger, they find strength in one another and a connection they can only ignore for so long, a connection that comes with life-changing consequences for them both.

The world has chewed up and spit out Eleanor Robinson again and again. It began with her parents, one taken by a tragedy, one addicted to horrific drugs, and a brother who's too boozed out to know if she's alive or dead. Alone in the world, Ellie isn't exactly sure of how life works, of how anything works, really. The only two people she has that even remotely understand are Sebastian and Scarlett, a pair of siblings that remind her so much of her own family, it's hard to be around them sometimes. When the trio finally move in together after being friends for almost three years, they end up closer than ever. But the move brings along another problem into Ellie's life. Cole Everett is a fighter. From the moment he was cast aside by his family, he's had to fight for scraps at the orphanage dinner table, fight for a spot in the light of his foster family's eyes, and fight for the love of his adoptive parents. It seemed like he never won when it came to personal battles, but in the ring... In the ring, he owned the world. Years and years of the world kicking Cole's ass has shaped him into the fighter Ellie and everyone else sees him as. But the world has also shaped Ellie, and the sweet, heavy-hearted girl paints on a façade that seems only Cole can break through. As the pair attempt to navigate a decent enough relationship to be in the same room as one another without going for the throat, the people around them float between blurred lines of friend or foe. Hearts clash, past enemies arise, and the pair's hearts hang in the balance of it all.
Playing Pretend by ArgentWarrior

Aiden Bennett was my first crush, my brother's best friend, hockey superstar, and now? He's my fake boyfriend. Running away to Boston was a chance for me to start anew, but as life goes, I find myself back in my hometown for my sister's wedding, where I'm unfortunately dragged back into the judgmental spotlight over my failed engagement. Enter Aiden, who much to my surprise, swoops in like a knight in shining armor to shield me from any more scrutiny. His plan you ask? Pretending to be my boyfriend. Yup, you heard that right. I didn't believe it either myself. Little did we know, a leaked photo from our night of playing pretend would spark a media frenzy, landing right into the hands of Aiden's agent who has a plan of his own. His plan? Use this charade to help polish Aiden's recently damaged image while securing a long term future in the league. Now I'm stuck in a whirlwind of public appearances, unexpected moments, and conflicting emotions. I've spent years keeping the feelings I had for him frozen away, but with every look, with every touch, he's chiseling his way back into my heart. As time goes by, I'm terrified that the lines between real and fake are going to blur, and after everything I've been through, could I be ready to take a chance on love again? Do I play it safe, or risk everything for the one person who has always been there, just out of reach? Aiden Bennett could destroy me, but maybe that's a risk I'm finally willing to take.
