TRUST? - Adopted by 5SOS!
Evie learned young that trust gets people hurt.
Nearly thirteen years old, legally blind, and surviving on instincts sharper than most adults, Evie has spent most of her life being passed from one nightmare to another. After surviving the car accident that killed her family when she was two, she disappeared into a system that failed her long before she understood what safety was supposed to feel like.
By the time she arrives at Mrs Fisherman's Orphanage, she already knows the rules:
Keep your head down.
Don't waste food.
Don't cry.
Never let anyone know what matters to you.
Especially not adults.
Behind her silence, Evie is far from helpless. Secretly earning money online through her artwork, music, and designs, she dreams of one day having enough to buy the one thing she's never had:
Freedom.
Then Ashton, Michael, Luke, and Calum walk into her life.
The boys are strange from the beginning. Too observant. Too protective. Too connected to each other in ways that feel almost unnatural. Sometimes they speak at the same time. Sometimes they seem to know things Evie never says aloud. And sometimes they look at her like they've already decided she's family.
As Evie is pulled into their chaotic world of late-night adventures, ridiculous jokes, unexpected kindness, and long-buried secrets, she begins to learn that family isn't always about blood.
But trust?
Trust is another matter entirely.
A story about survival, healing, friendship, found family, hope, and a girl learning that being loved can be just as frightening as being alone.
