Life was never easy for someone with not the highest self-esteem but she kept going either way never letting anything or anyone get to her, but that didn’t always work for Sydney. She may have never cared what others had said about her either in a negative or positive way, she didn’t take constructive criticism or compliments into consideration. Until one day when everything got to heavy, she couldn’t handle any of it anymore. Sydney’s world had come crashing down right in front of her and that’s when reality showed its true self to her. 
	
That’s when hockey took its toll in Sydney’s life.

Skating is truly a blessing sent from above. The way the wind wisps around you blowing your hair back, whistling right past your ears making you feel as if the entire world has muted, paused, and pushed to the side. Everything has been focused on this one moment that lets you escape reality for the time being. 

Adding a bonus to skating was hockey. Hockey was everything to her. Hockey had been in her family for many generations and it had been passed down to from her father to her and her three brothers. 

Hockey is life. Nothing else mattered.

Sydney never let herself get close to others and usually ended up regretting it if she ever did. She had very few friends but that didn’t matter to her. She loved very few people in her life and wasn’t planning on adding more to the list anytime soon. 

She never expected anything unusual or out of the ordinary to happen to her then her everyday life, but that would never keep up, right?

Sydney Stockly was about to be cracked out of her shell weather she liked it or not.All Rights Reserved

In The Fastlane ni meredithmnash

After living a tedious and monotonous life growing up all she wanted was fun. Fun like getting drunk several nights a week and coming home so hung over she couldn't see her own feet. Fun like enjoying a night out with her 3 other best friends who have joined her all along. Is that really fun? Young Sydney Martin was forced to endure the life of a stereotype. Living the same routine everyday. Her boyfriend, or now ex boyfriend put her in an empty whole of nothingness. But Sydney was in love. Falling so hard she saw nothing else but him. Everything in her life was the blur of a common place.They would under go everything with each other. From eating breakfast together in the morning, to playing in the sheets at night. Her life was perfect. Everyday was a new day for Sydney. Of course when your 20 years old & withstanding a job at an aquarium what other option do you have? Evan made it exciting for her. They would go to amusement parks, travel the world together for years on end. But nothing lasts forever. One day, it all stopped and he was gone. It was just another Cinderella story. Break ups do that to you, they rip apart everything you once had in your heart. That's what a heart break is all about. All that Sydney had left was her 3 best friends, Abbie, Kalie, & Amanda. Of course she had her parents in a distant way but what 20 year old wants to sulk with their 50 year old guardians? Sydney was convinced love doesn't exist. So she forced her life to become a fast pace movie franchise. Getting drunk at bar's every night and living her life to the most in order to leave the life that only existed in the past. But when her best friend Abbey introduces yet another celebrity friend to her group she doesn't stand a chance. With one wink of an eye & a new future ahead of her everything could be thrown away. Maybe she could even love again. But life always has obstacles. Does love truly exsist?

FIGHT OR FLIGHT - B. Bradshaw ni jothecrow

C H A N C E: do (something) despite its being dangerous or of uncertain outcome "You walked out on me! No text, call, or letter! Nothing! I just woke up one day and you were gone!" Rooster yelled at her. She stood there in pain from just seeing him, Rosemary couldn't look at him without seeing her mistakes. "I didn't mean to hurt you... I-I just couldn't say goodbye because if I did I never would have left. I have 3 children now because of my sister's death. I wasn't going to drag you along with that. You were already set back so much from Maverick and the hatred you had towards him, was something I didn't want. If I held you back then you would have hated me too," a few tears rolled down her face as she looked at his shoes. She couldn't bare to look up at him. He shook his head as he exhaled out trying to calm down. "But I would have never hated you. I can't hate you. It bothers me that I haven't been able to hate you for walking out on me... and then you have to hide with all the pain... I just wished you told me," he told her and took a step closer. She had looked up at him and her heart shattered even more. The whole group was there watching there fight but didn't even have words for any of it. Phoenix was the only one who knew about everything. The kids, her sister, her parents, all of it. Pheonix had watched her break down over and over and over, but she didn't realize how much it might have hurt her to see the one person she had loved her whole life. "I'm sorry, Bradley but I have to go," she turned around and passed the whole group. She didn't bare to change in the lockers but headed straight to her car.

Admiring the Light ni Fleet1284

Friendless and timid, Guinevere is stuck in her socially anxious shadow, content to let her sister lead and live a sheltered life. Without Natalie pushing her to break out of her comfort zone, she'd be trapped in fear. The world is scary, even her own family conflicts terrify her; she needs Natalie's support. But what happens when Natalie, her big sister, her mentor and only real friend, suddenly can't be there for every moment of her life? Lola, raised to be a hardworking farmer, when all she wants is a bit of agency over her life, the freedom to do what she wants. And yet, she is perfectly willing to let Natalie handle conversations for her. For as much as she wants to be free, she wouldn't know what to do with herself, get meticulously caught up in planning the details and never end up doing anything. And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on. Freely engaging with her friends and helping them, as she lacks her own internal drive, the self awareness to know what she wants. After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations. Being complacent with what happens to her and simply accepting, with no real goals of her own, no idea that her friends are just as directionless as she is. When health complications arise for her, and her friend group is falling apart around her as she can't guide them, she'll have to ask the essential questions that she can't simply answer in a quick sentence. The questions that she has long dismissed as unimportant. Is this what she truly wants, to be solely fulfilled by everyone else depending on her for support? And where does she draw the line? This story touches on potentially triggering content, including the use of slurs, toxic family relationships, anxiety, anger, and death. Any real people, brands or places are only used to further realize the environment.

Saved ni Historyfreak03

Sam Miller is not your average athlete for she is tall, strong & powerful not mention very tough, smart, vocal, driven, and extremely headstrong, and one might say that she had everything that one would need to be able to play her sport at the next level. Oh did we mention that she is the only girl on the Northfield High boys hockey team? Sam's life is going just the way she wanted it too before it was announced that the school was forming a girls hockey team, and that Sam was going to be the face of this new team which causes a sense of excitement to everyone except Sam. As much as she hates the idea of a girls hockey team, she agrees to be a part of the team, mostly so that she can fulfill her own selfish desires and pursue her personal goals even if it means giving up other parts of her life that once meant something to Sam like her faith, rather then care about the goals of the team. But all that changes when Sam meets Holley, a shy & awkward nerd, who also happens to be an elite hockey player, and AJ- a mysterious girl who knows a thing or two about playing hockey as well as life. After a rocky start, a bond forms between Sam, Holley and AJ, and from that first meeting to the championship game, we see this bond as it becomes a friendship between the three of them, and it is in part due to this friendship that both Holley and AJ mange to teach Sam some lifelong lessons both on the off the ice, and it's through what Sam learns in these teachings that help her to see that there is more to life, including what it means to be a better person, and what it means to become "saved".

OFF THE BOARDS, L.H ni newyorkintheair

SYDNEY is a figure skater who's all about that Olympic dream. She's got tunnel vision when it comes to her goals-no partying, no boys, just ice and grit. But if there's one thing she can't stand, it's the cocky hockey players who think they own the rink. Especially Luke Hughes, the campus golden boy who acts like he's too cool to care about anything that doesn't involve a puck. Luke's the type of guy who gets whatever he wants-girls, attention, a free pass to do whatever the hell he feels like. He's tall, hot as hell, and so confident it's annoying. But he's also carrying a load of pressure no one knows about, and he's damn good at hiding it. Everyone thinks he's the guy with no worries, but the truth is, he's cracking under the weight of living up to his brothers' NHL legacy. That's why Sydney hates him. They're supposed to hate each other, but the tension between them is so thick you could cut it with a skate blade. And once that tension snaps, all bets are off. It's dirty, it's raw, and it's nothing like either of them expected. They can't keep their hands off each other, but when the dust settles, they're both left wondering if this is just a fling or something that's gonna fuck up everything they've worked for.

My Glass Angel ni DarkeningSkies

Snow Richards is a shy seventeen year old girl. She's always kind of blended into the background, though she's never had a problem with that. Her life has been the opposite of easy in every way and she didn't need to bring attention to that. She hated it when other people pitied her and looked down on her. It was just better not to be looked at. Her mother died in a car accident when she was ten, leaving her father to care for both her and her younger brother Rain, who was seven years younger than her. Only a year ago she had found out her father had cancer, watching as it slowly killed her father right in front of her eyes. To top it off, she was picked on in school all the time. The name Snow was never a popular one. Since her mother died, Snow had become the mother of the family. She cared for her father when he was sick and practically raised her brother. Now she needed a job to keep them afloat, medical bills suffocating them. Finally she finds one as a maid/cook for a wealthy family: the Johnson's. Snow just wanted a job, but she was surprised by their caring son Ryan and how sweet he was to her. The whole family practically took her in. She doesn't want them to get too close though; she wouldn't pull them into her pain. Her burdens were her own. But when they keep trying to edge their way in, how will she handle it? How much more could she carry before she finally shattered like glass?

July Above - J. Hughes ni Sleepeyes322

Lennon Miller and Jack Hughes were once inseparable. Being born on the same day, in the same hospital to moms who were best friends would do that to two people. Every memory Lennon had as a child consisted of the brunette boy at her side. He was her soulmate, her other half. That's why it hurt so much when they had a falling out. Jack was a big shot now, being drafted to the Devils made him completely forget about the girl he used to spend every waking moment with. Lennon is blind sided when one day out of the blue she gets a call from the person she was least expecting. After several years of absolutely no contact she never imagined he'd call her up and beg her to save his reputation. He was now the Captain and providing the fan base with the perfect image of himself was absolutely necessary. She hates him and he's trying so desperately to win her back, one fake relationship later and all these feelings are brewing at the surface. How long can she keep such deep rooted feelings under wraps. Soon enough they will all explode and change her life as she knew it. You can only fake it for so long.

The Mirrored Doorway ni MichaelRobinson885

Matthew's doorway to change came to him in the form a woman who held up a mirror to him and showed him who he really was.She was a very fit, blonde, blue eyed, intelligent woman who was originally Russian. Victoria had seen more of life than Matthew had ever imagined. Victoria had imagined the un-imaginable and achieved it. She is still doing all those things that us mere observers have yet to have the courage to understand or commit to. He engaged. He pandered, he devoted himself, and in the end, Victoria devastated him. He was emotionally crushed. Matthew was heartbroken and the tears would not stop. He had a desire, but not the will to commit suicide. In the car he would wail. In the shower he would buckle and cry. In the aftermath, Matthew would steel his nerves with anti anxiety medication and long, long walks around the New South Wales city of Newcastle. From the house his parents owned to the city, to the beach and anywhere in between. He needed to be occupied, he needed to be tired. The construction workers would be listening to a sad some song on the radio (Dean Lewis - Be Alright, that's a good one to cry to), and he would want to stop and physically break down on the grass verge and go no further. Matthew needed to reconcile with best person he had ever meet. So, what was reflected in Matthews mirrored doorway? What door way was opened for him to look beyond his world view, and importantly how did it take so many years for him to see the person he was? Is this a love story? Yes. For Matthew absolutely. For Victoria, no. She did not love or care for him, and we can only guess that Matthew was company for a short period of time, and that amounted to 9 months of wonder, snoring, emotional roller coasting, photography, Salsa dancing, camping, trekking, long drives and fitness. Awesome!

Heavens Haven ni anonykwrites

Emery Rayne. Everyone expects you to have the perfect life when you have rich parents. They assume that you've grown up getting anything and everything you want. Money has never been the problem for my parents. Their problem was me. And once I turned nineteen, I left. I've always wanted to leave because they never loved me growing up. They were too into their own rich life that they completely neglected and abandoned me. I wanted to escape. And now that I finally have, I couldn't be happier. Unexpectedly rooming with two hockey players whose lives revolve around hockey wasn't a problem for me. That was until a blue eyed- tattooed boy showed me how beautiful love can be. I wasn't suppose to fall for the captain of the hockey team. I try not to like him, but I fall even harder. But I carry a heavy past around my shoulders and when those two familiar people threaten me with Havens life, I'm stuck between choosing his happiness or mine. My parents make me feel like I can't have Haven West. And if I'm being honest, even I don't know if I can have him. But he calls me his special person. He's my special person. Haven West. The only thing I've ever cared about was hockey and the people that raised me. I grew up with parents that held a knife to my neck and destroyed my image of happiness. When she moved in, I hated it. When a month passed by, I couldn't help but take her out on a night drive, smiling at how tight she holds me. There's no one like her. She was the one that made me laugh because of how fucking silly she is. She saw me when all I've ever wanted was for my parents to love me. I fucked myself up getting attached to her. Because now, I'm addicted to her. I'm a smiling bastard whenever she's around. I'm broken and never believed in love but I can't let her go because she's what I would describe heaven to be like. Loving Emery Rayne is the best fucking feeling.

A Self-love Story ni Kirsten_Sharp

Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness? Happiness is that feeling of butterflies fluttering around in your chest, trying to break out. Happiness is that invisible fluid rushing in your veins, making you shiver in the most wonderful way. Happiness is the force that pulls your cheeks up into the widest smile and makes your eyes twinkle. Happiness makes you light-headed and giddy, it is in fact like alcohol. Well then, I am utterly and completely drunk. When you're happy, everything feels amazing. Even small insignificant things like getting up in the morning. The golden hue of sunlight streaming in through the curtains feels like a soft caress from the hand of a lover. The birds seem to chirp sweetly outside, a melody to which the leaves sway as if mesmerised by their music. The curtains tango with the wind beautifully. Every little thing seems perfect. And that's a word I'd use to describe my life. Perfect. To give you a little introduction about me, let me start by explaining the most important aspects of my life. I have a loving family. There's my sarcastic, yet surprisingly sweet brother, my beautiful mother (both in looks and spirit) and my stern, yet humorous father. I have the best best friend, Charlotte and I have an amazing boyfriend, Theo. I'm quite beautiful and popular too which I'm not saying to brag, I'm just stating the truth. So that is my life. The life of Tia-Jade Garcia. *** What she didn't know was that every high has a low and that the higher you rise, the lower you fall and the more painful that fall is. Follow her story as she loses everybody she ever cared for and thereby her happiness. See her fight all of her demons by herself. Watch her fall in love...with herself because the only person's love you'll always need is yours. This is her self-love story.
