Breakaway
Note: technically this is a sequel to my other story: Against All Odds, however if you have not read it no worries, it should still be fairly easy to follow. I'll do my best to fill in any gaps for those who haven't read the original story : )
Kristine is a 21 year old girl with a mission: to play in the NHL. After a long legal battle and several tests to prove her abilities, she's accepted onto the Washington Capitals NHL hockey team. She makes fast friends with several of the guys on the team but soon runs into a certain player from the Capitals rival team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. After dealing with some serious issues with the Penguins just one season ago, things are still very sensitive. Kristine's new relationship with the Penguin's player makes things both awkward and dangerous for both teams involved. But more than that, someone on her own team already has feelings for her…torn between her loyalty to the Capitals and her love for the Penguins player, Kristine is at a loss. Complications arise that will forever alter the Capitals team. Love, loss, betrayal, and friendship all in one story!
Here is the song that inspired the story if you want to get another taste as to what it will be like:
Fighter by Christina Aguilera
After all that you put me through,
You think I'd despise you,
But in the end I wanna thank you,
'Cause you've made me that much stronger
Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames cause your greed sold me out in shame
After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard you're going round play, the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore, no more,
It's over
Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it
How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretend not to know the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WONT-STOP-ME
I am a fighter and I
I ain't gonna stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough
You thought I would forget
But I remembered
Cause I remembered
I remembered
You thought I would forget
I remembered
Cause I remembered
I remembered
