Hayden O'Callaghan and his friends, Andrew Deeks and Dylan Wonder, have been arrested for anti-social behaviour. They were told they had to do 3 months community service and attended compulsory teen counselling sessions at their local youth centre, as the Judge knows of each of the boys' troubled home lives. At the centre Hayden meets Abi, a girl who completely goes against his expectations of what a volunteer at the youth centre would be like. At first the pair hate each other and are constantly at each others' throats, but once they acknowledge the undeniable attraction they have for each other, the sparks start to fly. Abi wants to help Hayden reach his goals and be the best he can be, but Hayden isn't letting her in easily. How are you supposed to help a boy who doesn't want to let anyone one in, and fears failure so much that he won't even try and be successful? Will Hayden's fear of failing prevent him from flying and make him think he's not good enough? Or will Abi be able to break down his walls, and see Hayden for who he truly is behind is arrogant clown façade? PG 13 for language and innuendoes. *My characters haven't got brain to mouth filters; therefore if you don't like foul language etc. please don't complain and ask me to change them... because that is how they are, they were brought up like that, so I won't change their speaking habits. So I've put this warning here, to inform those of a nervous disposition ;)*

Carmen is screwed up. She's been in and out of juvie all her life and seriously there's no place she'd rather be. Until she gets released from juvie unexpectedly, given a probation officer, and forced to live with a normal family and go to a normal school. Carmen doesn't even know the definition of normal. Much less family, or school. Separated from the only system she's known and has stayed constant all her life, she finds it hard to adjust to the world outside the concrete building. The structure and rules aren't the same. In juvie, rules were like opinions, people ignored them. But in the real world, supposedly it wasn't socially acceptable to steal cash, or graffiti the front of the school building. Enter the Harrisons, the family who's taking care of her. The matriarch of the family hates her criminal record. Sammy, the seven-year-old, is too clingy, too innocent, and too naive to understand anything. Then there's Jay, the guy she's forced to share a room with. A self-righteous son of a bitch, Jay doesn't understand Carmen and doesn't understand her self destructive way of thinking. Though he's not bothered by her, he's fascinated with her. The family represents the structure and rules that Carmen doesn't, nor wants to, understand. But as Carmin starts to push back at the structure and rules suddenly rushed into her life, it starts to change. Her whole way of living is thrown off balance, what she deems normal isn't. And through a series of events, she starts to spiral out of control, and she doesn't know if someone can pull her up from that. Carmen was given a second chance, but is it a good chance, or is it just another recipe for getting thrown right back to square one, like she always is? Because second chances don't usually get handed out. And she's about to learn what it means to get a second chance. ____
