Unfolding the folded piece of paper that read: You should come up to my room later. I can show you things you never seen before. Really this dude doesn’t give up. Ok we’ll see about that. I wrote: Like your microscopic penis. I fold the paper and give it to him. He takes it, touching my hand a little longer than usual. I smiled then he smiled, probably thinking he’s getting lucky. He reads it, looks at me then the bell rings. “You-”, he says. “Sorry, can’t stay and chat got to go to my next class”, I say I said smugly. Picking up my stuff and almost ran to my next class by the look of Skylar’s face-keyword almost.

Sometimes all you really need is a place to call home. *** Claire is lost and scared and utterly alone. Her family is in shambles after the death of her older sister Ina, and she's left to pick up the broken pieces of herself as her life heads into a downwards spiral of loneliness. Her heart leads her to 5:48, a little cafe by 33rd street, where she finds her new home. With a broken heart and a speech disability, Jasper has his heart and mouth sewn shut by the winding threads of hurt and fear. Painting and serving coffee in cafe 5:48 are one of his last few saving graces, but the smile he's been painting on himself will soon fade away as everything he's ever held dear slips away from his grasp. Ezra is out-of-sync and oddly cold by the way life has treated his young self. Abandoned by his single mother at an early age, he has grown up thinking that he is a mistake. His constant shaking hands are a reflection of what he often thinks of himself, but the delightful pastries he bakes for 5:48's customers are a reflection of what others see of him. Drew is a quirky rarity. He is a dash of loud, a pinch of exuberant, and a cup of eccentric - just like the meals he serves in the cafe as the only chef there. Behind his playful grins and outlandish clothes, however, are his jutting ribs, hollowed cheeks, and too-thin arms. Sometimes he cannot stomach being in his own skin as much as he cannot stomach food. This family has gone a long way from finding each other, and they'll be going a long way together too as reality comes catching up to them, threatening the newfound happiness they've found with each other. Secrets are revealed, pasts become presents, and lives are changed. Slowly but surely, they find their way back home. *** NOTE AS OF 08/2026: This is the old version of the story from 2012, posted in FULL. Another story that will be considered a reprise of this old version is in the works, and will be posted under the name "Hiraya House."

**Watch the Webisode of each chapter! On Mobile, Go to Info or click the thumbnail if you're reading on the web!** I'm Aisling and I moved to Dublin, Ireland from Boston Massachusets which is kind of weird because I thought I was coming home but actually nothing was how I thought it was going to be. To start with no one warned me I was going to have to wear a uniform. That was kinda a shock. And the dancing was a little different here too. But then I met Ali and Siobhan and suddenly things didn't seem so bad. Oh, and did I mention Murphy, the boy next door...

A poor young English boy named Heathcliff is taken in by the wealthy Earnshaw family where he develops an intense relationship with his young foster sister, Cathy.

Kyra Fox is a dedicated dancer who loves nothing more than losing herself in the music and forgetting everything. But when she gets paired with Jude Callahan, a dancer who is most definitely not dedicated, sparks fly- in and out of the dance studio. It takes two to tango, but can Kyra let go enough to tango with a boy she’s sure she hates?
