"Ivy is fourteen. She has been living in a Care Home since she was seven-since, the accident. She has been abused, neglected, and attempted more than once to take her own life. Ivy isn't one to open up, and doesn't trust easily-but one day, when a man named Dan Smith decides he might want to adopt, everything could change for her."
Trigger Warning (Contains scenes of Self Harm, ED, as well as anxiety/panic attacks)
Also, I realize that this is like the most stereotypical plot of all fanfictions, but I happen to enjoy it. So. Hush thy mouth.
