Once Upon A Blue Moon by AiderKwin

Formerly Known As 'The Ghost In My Attic' {Contains Mature Content} The cold Brooke Hills breeze takes over the night. Blowing mercilessly as it cools off some of the pain on my face... I watch the trees dance in the wind and the moon plays hide and seek with people like me who are still looking at it. Hiding behind the tree branches and leaves. I always feel serene and at peace when looking at the moon but tonight..... Looking at it just purely outlines the difference between who I used to be and what I currently am. Like soothing kisses, the rain droplets rest on my skin. Not long; the rain begins to pour. The pregnant clouds decided the time to deliver their bottled-up tears was when my heart had no strength left to cry anymore... I feel the rain flow over my body and I wish it could flow through me... Flow-through me and wash off the dirt and memories of this horrid night. My legs hardly leave the floor as I walk ghostly towards home. What used to be my safe heaven..... ¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢°¢° After years of being insulted and hurt by the whole town, the final line is crossed when the mayor's son takes away the one thing she valued most. (Her virginity). Soon after she meets a ghost, the mayor's son is found dead and a lot of dirty secrets begin to surface. Is Laina the culprit or is she just a victim of circumstance?.

Family Comes First by CRAZY40429

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born? Follow Amara as she digs deeper into her family history, uncovering the secrets and discovering the lies. ___ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ There will be mentions of abuse, r@pe, self harm, death, and many other dark themes.

Foster Care [COMPLETE] by Disa_Laring

[COMPLETE] I looked at my mom's blue eyes. They held love. Her kind of love. Empty yet full of all her emotions at the same time. It was hard to explain. While her face remained calm, her eyes screamed of fear, joy, anger, love, sadness, pleasure and hatred. She didn't flinch. The traces of emotion rested within her blue irises and her black pupils. Those were the parts that held her screaming soul. Her raging spirit. Her crying mind. A child who had to grow into a woman she did not want to be. She raised the gun toward me. Warning. This story contains: - Abuse - Drug abuse - Violence - Kidnapping - Rape - Explicit descriptions

Unknown Sensations by bhes_thenovelist

🌙 Unknown Sensation By Abundance Williams He lived by logic. She lived by faith. Neither expected the collision that would shake everything they believed in. Dr. Harley McKesie has spent her life mending what's broken - hearts, homes, and children forgotten by the world. Her dream to build The Children's Haven is all that keeps her moving. But when fate throws her into the path of Spencer Thompson - the brilliant, ruthless CEO known for his cold precision - her carefully balanced world begins to tremble. Spencer doesn't feel - not the way others do. His world is built on order, contracts, and silence. Yet from the moment Harley storms into his life, something awakens in him - an unknown sensation that defies everything his mind can rationalize. As Harley's faith challenges his logic, and his power threatens her peace, both are forced to confront what lies beneath control - vulnerability, longing, and the terrifying possibility of love. But when secrets, lies, and buried pain surface, will the unknown between them bring redemption... or ruin? A slow-burn romance of faith, control, and the healing power of love - set against the heart of South Africa. #1-wishfulthinking! ❤️As of 10 September 2021 #3-wishfulthinking! as of 15 August 2022

We'll meet again. by feaqthrs

Then there was a larger folder labeled Madison Elizabeth Mitchell. I took the folder from its slot and took it to my room. I opened the folder and saw papers that changed my life. They were adoption papers. My adoptions papers. This made more sense, why my 'parents' hated me so much, why I was never invited to family events. But why would they lie to me about this? They hated me so much why wouldn't the just rub it in my face that I wasn't really related to them? ------------------------------ ~This is two different fan fictions put into one~ ~I do not own any character except the ones I create. They all belong to Shonda Rhimes~ *there is a reason it is two different fanfics into one story line so bare with me* ----------------------------
