Ash Costello And Chris Cerulli (Chris Motionless). This is a story about Chris and Ash being together, and everything they had to/have to deal with. Ash is a little fucked up from previous events in her life, she starts shutting everyone out. Even her own band, and her life changes when her long time best friend Chris Motionless arrives on set for their new music video Angel Eyes. Will Ash's life change for the better or for worse?

Its up to Chris to raise his mute daughter now. Can he handle it or will he let her down?

Hayden Madison is 16 and the weirdest girl in her town. Never knowing who her father was, she figured she was more like him than her snobby rich mom. They were total opposites. When her mom wants her out, what kind of life can she have with the man she has never met?

Lindsey Audeberrie was a friend (with benefits) of Chris' way back when. However, their "relationship" was very toxic, and it ended on terrible terms. When Chris tries to search for Lindsey again years later to apologize and possibly become friends (just friends, no benefits) with her again, he finds out that she's moved to New Mexico and has started a new life. Chris decides to forget about Lindsey, and moves on with his own life as well. Years later, Chris receives a mysterious email from Lindsey's attorney. And Lindsey is claiming that her thirteen year old daughter, Kaitlin, is also Chris' daughter. And if he is proven to be the father, he must meet Kaitlin and get to know her so that the judge will agree to give parental rights to Chris rather than sending Kaitlin to foster care. Why is this happening? Because Lindsey has leukaemia, and only months to live. Lindsey has no other family to take her thirteen year old daughter in, so Chris is her last hope for Kaitlin to not end up in foster care. Chris of course is surprised, angry, and reluctant. Having expected this, Lindsey and Rachel threaten to go public with the story of Chris' daughter if he doesn't do as they ask. So, seeing no other choice, Chris flies out to New Mexico to meet the daughter he never knew he had. There are of course quite a few problems though. The main one being Kaitlin has literally never heard anything about her father. She literally has heard nothing about him. Ever. So Chris must learn to communicate with Kaitlin in ways he never thought he'd have to, and it changes everything around him.

On complete accident, Chris Cerulli became a father at the tender age of 20 with his girlfriend at the time, Carlie. He named his daughter Riley, and Riley became the most important thing in Chris' life. Three and a half years later, Chris decides that he and Riley would be better off without Carlie and he pushes Carlie out of their lives. Chris and Riley are actually doing very well on their own. Chris is a good father, and Riley is a happy little girl for the most part. She's still internally hurt from a lot of the pain that Carlie caused, but she trusts Chris to protect her. And Chris DOES protect her. He's very good at protecting her... Until her fourth birthday. Chris walked out of the room for one minute; and when he came back, Riley was gone. After almost eleven years missing, Riley finds a way to return to Pennsylvania after having been tortured day in and day out by the person that kidnapped her. She returns to Chris, bloody and bruised; and all she wants from him is help. Now, Riley and Chris have to adjust to the fact that Riley is back and has endured a lot of pain during her time in captivity. Riley now has to get to know her dad all over again, his girlfriend and his band. She also has to get to know herself and conquer many internal struggles along the way. Will Riley Cerulli be able to rise above all of the challenges she's about to face? Or will she collapse under the weight of the past?

You asked, I delivered. This is the official sequel to my very first story on this website, "Break the Cycle". This story begins exactly where "Break the Cycle" left off; Christmas Day. It's a day of celebration for the Cerulli family, and the new year marks a new beginning for them all. That is, of course, until things get complicated. What happens when Max's mom ends up face down on the floor with a bottle in her hand? What happens when Max gets in a CAR with a bottle in HER hand? Or when Chris gets a call that Riley's kidnapping case is being reopened on the same night Jack's family gets a call that Phoebe's murder case has been reopened? Or when Carlie and Riley start to get close again? Or when Jack, Riley, Max, and Emily all end up sitting in the lobby of an abortion clinic in Connecticut? Or when the fact that Riley is a lesbian suddenly becomes an issue for some of her family members? Or when someone almost jumps off a building? Life is complicated; of this, we are all aware. However, it seems like life so far for the Cerulli family is only just getting started because what lays ahead, none of them saw coming. Will they survive the drama? Or will they cave under the pressure of trying to keep their family together as outside threats try to force it apart? You'll have to read to find out ;)

Chris Cerulli's best female friend has been Melanie Dawson since they were in childhood. They never ever saw themselves as anything more than that. They had an absolutely wonderful friendship together though. After being friends for over twenty-five years, they'd been through pretty much everything together. Chris was even up front with the bridesmaids when Melanie got married. Melanie is a pathologist (a doctor that performs autopsies on dead bodies) and is often busy with her work. Chris is obviously busy with the band too, but he and Melanie still managed to keep their friendship in tact and Chris was even close with Melanie's daughter, Sadie, and friends with Melanie's husband, John. After nearly ten years of marriage, Melanie finds herself divorced from John, and on her own with Sadie. So, whenever he is home from tour, one of Chris' top priorities is to help out Melanie around the house, with her dog, and with Sadie. Sadie and Chris are incredibly close. When Sadie was born, Chris was the first one to hold her after Melanie and John. So having Chris around more often is wonderful for Sadie; mostly because Chris is very understanding of her and incredibly open-minded. Sadie is just a bit...different, and Chris is the perfect example for her to show that being different is an okay and good thing. When tragedy strikes, Chris is immediately there for Melanie and Sadie and instantly knows how to comfort them. With being so close to Melanie this often now, Chris begins to realize that maybe, after all these years, he might have been looking at her the wrong way, and feelings may be starting to develop. Could Melanie be the one for him after all?
