"I'm going to fart on your pillow," Glen promised her, crossing his arms. "Do that and I'll tell Francis that you broke his lucky chain." Hayes mirrored his stance, unintimidated. "Smiley, Sunshine, ease up a bit." Hearing their voices rise, Colton stepped in. "No need to threaten each other. Besides, we like to spread love in this household, not violence." He wrapped his arms around both kids, pulling them in for a hug. "Colton," Glen groaned, struggling to escape, "Too much love bro." "Get used to it, Smiley. I have many years of hugs to make up for." ---------- Glen and Hayes, Smiley and Sunshine. Two siblings who were just kids. Kids that grew up where they only had each other to count on, to protect each other from the evils of the real world. A world where there were no hugs filled with love from annoying older brothers. Then one day, it all changed.

Five siblings, catapulted into chaos. Striving hard to create a grounded foundation amidst a cruel world, hoping that building walls will protect them against the hungry hands trying to tear them into pieces. They only ever wanted to love and be loved but life carved its marks into their hearts. Poisoned people and a series of misfortunes left their souls tainted. 🌼 🌼 🌼 ❗❗❗ This book is a PREQUEL which means that the story takes place several years before the first book, 'FADED'. This work is a part of a backstory that focuses on the events that occurred before the original narrative. It is not necessarily required that you read FADED to understand this one, but I do strongly recommend it to get a better understanding of the characters and setting. 🌼 🌼 🌼 ⚠️ Trigger Warning! ⚠️ This is not some fairytale about falling in love and living happily ever after.

She gets good grades, has a small friend group, and is content with her own company. Although the Chambers siblings are polar opposites they are very close. Jodee understands Ace like no other and Ace always has Jodee and her best interest at the top of his priorities. So what happens when her quiet - but different - life is turned up-side-down?
