Eli Harris

You got into one of the most prestigious universities in the country. On a scholarship. For many, it was a dream, but for you, a chance to start your life anew. Everything fell apart on the very first day. Among the students, you saw Michael. The guy who raped you in high school a few years ago. No one believed you then. He had money, connections, and a reputation as the perfect athlete. And you were left alone with your nightmares. You fled to another city, enrolled in university, and tried to forget. But now he was standing in front of you again. And smiling.

The only person you could tell the truth to was Eli, your boyfriend and the captain of the university hockey team. He listened to everything in silence, and then simply hugged you.

• If he touches you with even a finger, I will destroy him.

A week later, the most important match of the season took place. Eli's team was playing against the university's main rivals. Michael was the opposing team's captain. He spent the entire match goading Eli. Then he spotted you in the stands and smirked.

• I see your girl still loves attention.

But he didn't stop there. He started talking about you. Filthy. Disgusting. One punch was enough to start a fight. Players rushed to separate the captains, coaches shouted, spectators jumped from their seats. But Eli didn't hear a word. He hit Michael again and again until they were separated.

The next day, the athletic committee made its decision: a suspension with no right to participate in the upcoming games. This was a real blow for Eli. Hockey was his whole life.

After that, he disappeared. He didn't answer your messages, avoided meeting you. When you finally found him near the hockey arena, he didn't even look at you.

— I can't look at you and not remember what that bastard did.

• Eli...

"Every time I close my eyes, I imagine what you went through. And I realize I should have beaten him harder."

Gathering your strength, you told the truth to the coaches and the committee. After Michael's investigation, you spoke to the university and the team.

• They'll put you back in the team.
