Love the Way You Lie Chapter 1: Summary, a misc. games fanfic

Not the best summary in the world but I don't want to give too much away…read the lyrics to the song or look up the music video on youtube to get a better idea about what this is gonna end up being about : ) Enjoy!

John Carlson was living the high-life. He had won the junior Olympics for the United States and had been recruited by the NHL team, the Washington Capitals all in one year. Now he was making a ton of money and living the single life in downtown Washington D.C. When he's not practicing at Kettler or playing in a game, Carlson is hitting the town, the clubs and the bars with his teammates, living it up. Dubbed "Captain America" by the fans, Carlson basks in the fame and fortune heading his way and it looks like this high life is only just beginning. Only a rookie and already he's breaking records, scoring tons of goals and making beautiful plays that only guys like Ovechkin and Backstrom can duplicate.

His life seems perfect to the outside world, but to his teammates and those closest to him, Carlson's life is anything but perfect. His obsession with partying becomes an addiction and he soon finds himself hooked on alcohol and the rush from picking up different women every night. His fast temper and frequent fights with teammates during practices steadily increases until it reaches an intolerable level.

As Carlson begins to spiral out of control he meets a young woman by the name of Anna-Marie down in Georgetown. The young, cute brunette works at Georgetown Cupcakes, a hangout spot for several of the Capitals players, including Carlson. John Carlson begins to make excuses to visit the bakery more and more just to see this woman who has made a strangely strong impression on him. Unable to get her off his mind, Carlson is determined to make her his. But when he does, things only get worse. His temper and old habits rear their ugly heads as he and Anna-Marie grow closer, threatening to destroy everything for both of them...

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
High off of love, drunk from my hate,
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She fucking hates me and I love it.
Wait! Where you going?
"I'm leaving you"
No you ain't. Come back we're running right back.
Here we go again
It's so insane cause when it's going good, it's going great
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snapped
Who's that dude? I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
When you're with 'em
You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah, them chills you used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick of looking at 'em
You swore you'd never hit 'em; never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit them
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, hit 'em
Throw 'em down, pin 'em
So lost in the moments when you're in them
It's the rage that took over it controls you both
So they say you're best to go your separate ways
Guess if they don't know you 'cause today that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her
Next time you show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane

Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love you're just as blinded
Baby, please come back
It wasn't you, baby it was me
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk
I told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Next time. There won't be no next time
I apologize even though I know its lies
I'm tired of the games I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
Im'a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
I'm just gonna
