Kiera had a seemingly perfect life until the death of her mother. She figured things couldn't get any worse until someone in her circle violates her in a most heinous way. In her struggle to come to terms with things, Kiera and her dad relocate to the town of Berkton where they could possibly have a new start. After never having a boyfriend, she meets Lance who is very sweet to her and a spice added to her life. Her issues cause her to act in not-so-great ways but will she realize he isn't the same as the ones she left behind before it's too late? *New chapter every Monday*

Grace Parker has a secret. It's written on her arms and legs (and stomach, and collarbone, and third rib on the left...). Words? No. Stories? Sort of. The black and blue bruises left by her boyfriend could tell you all sorts of tales- like the time he hit her because she didn't answer him quick enough, or the time he thought her smiling at a boy who said hello to her deserved a bruised shoulder. Hogwarts might as well have been a prison while she was with him, but could a new boy in her life become her safe haven? *Golden-Trio Era* *Half-Blood Prince timeline* *Comments on my chapters give me much needed ✨affirmation✨🤪❤️* *Not a fan of Harry Potter?
