Breakaway #1
Like Real People Do
E.L. Massey
Elite athletes live life in fishbowl and young athletes have to cope with immaturity, growing bodies, developing social skills and managing finances--multi-million dollar contracts are a mixed blessing.
The players:
Eli an elite figure skater who suffered a traumatic injury that has left him with epilepsy and Hawk, a German Shepherd support dog. He's an out and proud gay.
Cody, a hockey player and best friend from early childhood the two separated by college placement and team assignment. Closet gay. Together the pair run a cooking video website.
Alex Price a teenage hockey phenom loaded with talent, high expectations, and emotional baggage. A closet gay in a world where being outed comes with negative consequences.
Cooper an elite figure skater turned hockey player has become Price's team mate and friend, married in a stable non-gay relationship.
Eli is in Houston. The story is about support networks including therapists and relationships.
