After a particularly terrible experience with her adoptive father and a few drinks, Rebecca Harrison finds her much-needed escape from reality in her soon-to-be biology teacher. When the two meet again at the beginning of the school year, neither know what to make of the situation. But their conflict with each other is no match for the conflict Rebecca faces with her adoptive father, and the two soon find themselves developing a relationship that tests both of their willingness to let others in. For entirely different reasons, they find themselves pushing each other away. Until they realize that their reasons aren't so different at all. This story is girlxgirl, teacherxstudent, and it deals with topics such as abuse, alcoholism, and suicide. It's my best work but it can be depressing at times & may be triggering to some. [Editing on-going, Sequel - TBD]

Luke Hemmings was taken into foster care after his mother decided enough was enough. Enough of the bullying, of the fights, of the attitude, enough of her boyfriend abusing him because of being gay. Just enough. They'd drove for hours until they finally reached Perth. There Luke was taken into a home of a husband and wife and three other boys who were like him. They get along fine, but Luke gets along with one boy better than the rest. Will this make his current situation worse, or better?
