Years after Jorden was taken she is reunited with her family. A family she didn't even knew she had. Finally finding some normalcy something catches up to her, something she thought she left for good. We all have secrets. Pasts we want to forget. But that's not how this works. Your actions have consequences. And now not only she has to pay for them. ⚠️WARNING⚠️ Swearing Mention of abuse Mention of self-harm Not explicit but if you are uncomfortable please be wary I'm not great at descriptions. In the beginning, it's pretty bad, decent, below average? But over time my writing gets better (at least I think), nonetheless I hope you enjoy it. Started: February 28, 2021 Completed: ~

Diana is looking forward to finally finishing high school. Stay out of trouble. Focus only on art. This is Diana's grand plan - until she is assigned to paint the portraits of a girl she can't stand to be around: the school's obnoxious soccer team captain, Alex Perez. ***** It's senior year. Diana just wants to keep her head low while dealing with a family that is slowly but steadily falling apart and a best-friend-turned-enemy that she could certainly do without. The last thing Diana wants to do is spend her last year of high school painting the portraits of Alex Perez. Everyone loves Alex - she's the town's prodigy and the school's golden girl. But Diana and Alex couldn't be more opposite; put them in an art room together and a disaster is bound to happen.
