Bring Me To Life
Duke basketball star Grayson Allen and Olympic champion Caitlin Callahan are too much alike. They're intelligent, driven and fiery. They've enjoyed success. They've both been on the wrong side of public opinion. He's trying to rebuild his image. She's trying to rebuild her career. They're race cars without breaks. And they're on a collision course. Disclaimer - I do not know any of the real individuals portrayed in this story. Just a fan. A/N - This story takes place during the 2016-2017 season, and it is completely written. So, if anyone actually reads it, the updates will be pretty quick. Although some actual events are portrayed, it is a work of fiction (duh), so you will have to suspend reality in some circumstances. Also, I don't really care how old you are, but please be aware that this story contains profanity. Cait, in particular, curses a lot. I don't condone it, but she doesn't seem to care. And although it is not explicit, it is certainly very suggestive. There is also a storyline involving some stalking type behavior, so if you are triggered by that type of thing, you have been forewarned. Each chapter has a song title. My taste in music is somewhat eclectic. In some cases, the song inspired the chapter, but in others the song was found to fit the chapter. Enjoy!Complete

Hopelessly Devoted
"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair.
