abuse afraid beaten brother dark drunk father love past protective smoking strong

She was the one who packed their lunches, put them to bed, comforted them when they had nightmares, protected them from Daniel, helped them with homework, balanced everyone's activities, went to their games and matches, read them to sleep at night. 

       For as long as Selene Collins  can remember she has been living with her abusive foster "father", Daniel. Over the years other foster kids were brought into the household. She has always been the eldest, always the one doing the protecting, but who was there to protect her? 

       Then Daniel acquires one last foster child, Jarrod Riors. He's a bad boy all the way through, and does the whole shabang. He sleeps around, drinks, no drugs but he smokes, has tattoos, breaks all the rules. He arrives and  see's a whole household filled with scared children, with one that takes continual abuse for the rest. She see's him and reads the warning signs written all over him. They don't like each other, but can they get along, can they get past the secrets and forgotten pasts that have left them both traumatized? Can they survive Daniel's continual abuse, can she have a friend to rely on to shoulder some of the burden, or will her secret keep her so tightly bound that she can't let go? Will he face the past he has constantly tried to run from, or be crushed by it when it catches up?All Rights Reserved

There is Always a Price to Pay | ✔ by ikc_writes

"Nowhere is safe, you know?" Foster homes, orphanages, replacement homes, you name it, Georgia Monroe has never fit in anywhere. From a young age, she has only known that running away and constantly losing track of those that are supposed to care for her, is a way of survival. A way to escape. She hardly knows her real name, as people are constantly trying to change it, whilst all she wants to do is fit in. It's like she knows that she has a real family out there, no matter how many times people try to tell her that they either didn't want her, before explaining all the reasons why no one would want her, or that they all died, and she will never know them. For years, Georgia has tried to decipher the difference between words thrown at her in rage and due to alcohol, but as the years go by, it is harder to see the difference. It's harder not to believe the words. The words of her family not wanting her and that they may be dead, probably as a result of her sake. All she wants, is a pair of safe arms that will take the stress of her shoulders, for a little while. Only, she doesn't know how great of a deal she is asking of those that are her family. She will never understand the depth of the work that her real family has been intertwined, and maybe not living with them, has kept her alive. Has made her a stronger person than she would have been if she had grown up with them from the beginning. Georgia, though it may feel like to her, isn't the only one that has suffered. Though her brothers home may be idealistic and fit for a king and queen in her eyes, it is far from it. Behind all the luxury and money spilling from the walls, it hadn't been like that their entire lives. It wasn't easy to attain such wealth without risking a few lives here and there, including Georgia's, their sister. __________________________________________________________________ Started: 11.10.21 Finished: 21.08.22 Rewritten: 17.08.25 -

Thanks to the Whelms Family by TaylorAnnGunterman

(I am about to undergo major edits on the entire story soon. I wrote this when I was 13, and since it is my first story, I owe it the proper creation it deserves. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you will enjoy!) Samantha, Sam, Peers - a 13 year old girl who grew up with an abusive father who hits her every time she talked or laughed. So Sam just stopped saying anything, but when she accidentally bumped into her father he her beat again. Now Sam flinches at every sudden move, waits until everyone is out of the class room to leave for her next class, she walks so she doesn't have to sit next to anybody on the bus, and if you say her name she puts her hands over head in attempt to block out the world. So when she comes to school for the fifth time looking all beat up with a swollen lip and a bruised cheek the principal calls the authorities. Sam's father gets put into jail while she has to stay at the police station until they can figure out what to do with her. Because of how she was treated Sam can't stay at a foster home and because she is so scared of people she can't go through the adoption process. But when a lawyer hears of her situation from a friend who's police officer he wants to help this young girl realize that not every person is like her father and that its ok to have fun and be a kid. So him and his family take Sam in to show her that she doesn't have to hide her voice or lock herself away from the world. And with the help of his wife and four sons they just might get her to open up to them. Sam might think that if she makes any noise or even one mistake she'll get punished but the Whelms family is here to prove her wrong.

The Girl Who Made Life Worth Living by xlittleplantx

Finn has been the man of the house since he was a child. Simply surviving, he doesn't want any more responsibility than he's already burdened with at 18 - until he helps a mysterious abused girl he met near his new workplace. His caring and protective nature quickly brings her into his life but their budding relationship falls apart just as fast, until an incident and the subsequent events make them slowly come back together. Later, when Finn loses the only other thing he cares about in life he's faced with the choice of driving her away or being vulnerable enough to depend on her. Maybe she can finally make him feel taken care of back; the one thing that he's always truly needed. A more mature and healthy rewrite of a book I started writing when I was 14, inspired by the trashy, dramatic, emo love stories I was obsessed with on this platform a decade ago. I was dealing with a lot at the time so I came up with this book idea, where both main characters have dramatized aspects of myself in them, as a way to make myself feel lovable, so writing this now is a nostalgic and creative way of looking back, processing, and letting go of the emotions I was going through as an adolescent. I hope you enjoy! CONTENT WARNINGS include: regular profanity, descriptive sex scenes, minor sexual assault, minor gore, familial abuse, verbal and physical abuse, childhood trauma, tragically orphaned, absentee father, forced maturity, anxiety issues / panic attacks, neglect, starvation, descriptions of thin female body, legal trial of abuser. * Warnings may be edited as I write this. * Any new warnings will be put at the start of the new chapter including them, so don't worry.

See how the wee Winchesters got their fairytale endings the first time around and what they'll do to keep their new lives after the fact.

I don't own any of the art, pictures, or music that may be featured. I own the writing. Please do not copy or post to another site or app. Castiel and the other angels (and Chuck) are human, but most (or all) of the demons and supernatural creatures are the same. John Winchester is more physically abusive than what has been canonically confirmed. I've never written Supernatural before, so please have mercy. This is my 7th published story (Feb 18, 2022) Mature for canon-typical violence and gore. Main Warnings! Abuse, neglect, and alcoholism. Destiel (Dean+Castiel) is the main ship, but this story mainly focuses on Dean. Approximately 71,104 words! Enjoy!

Love Like A Delinquent by 3mmaRawrs

3 years ago, my Step Dad adopted a son. His name was Hunter. For 13 years of his life, Hunter was neglected and abused by his parents. Beaten and raped, Hunter knew nothing good of the world. His Father eventually became a socio-path and shot the Mother. But as he was about to kill Hunter, Police arrived. The Dad shot himself instead. Hunter is now 16 and has been living in my family for 3 years. It's an understatement to say that we don't get along. Hunter is just angry at the world. He drinks and smokes and swears and fights. He kicks me and punches me simply because he's scared. He pushes everyone away. He has flashbacks and nightmares and can't seem to take anymore. Though I know he has reasons for being such an inconsiderate asshole, I still hate him. Our family has now moved to Cyprus. We're only staying for a while, so we just got a small appartment. Bad part about that? It's got 2 rooms. Me and Hunter have to share. At first I hate it. But then over the weeks, I begin to see how broken Hunter Storm really is. He's not just a dick, he's scared. And I'm slowly starting to comfort him through his troubles. We're getting somewhere, but then the worst possible thing happens. But strangley, it's bringing us closer. He's sleeping in my bed, he's crying to me, he's holding my hand. I'm holding him at night, I'm wearing his hoodies, I'm smiling at his touch. Before I even realize it, I'm in love. { Strong Language Throughout! Includes Physical/Sexual Abuse Scenes & Sex Please Don't Read If Bad Language Makes You Cry. But If You Like Hot Emo Boys With Lip Rings, Read Ahead ^.^ }

Against All Odds by katnisssss

Selene dwells with her rich father, together with her brother. She lost her mother at a very young age, thus, giving her the responsibility to take care and watch over them. As the only girl, she strives hard to make her family complete even if the two boys in her life can't even talk without getting into a pool of heated discussions. She seeks to do best at all the things she do which makes her father the proudest of her. Like her name, she is beautiful, kind, reliable, secluded, and serene. When she met him, she reached her hands for him. Soon, she found herself slowly relying on him. She lowered her armour and gave away every bits of her. Agustin is a troubled orphan guy who interprets life as unforgiving. He chose to be alone so no one will weep once he's gone. No one would even know he lived. He doesn't want others to feel what he felt when he was left untended. He is scarred; he is hopeless. When he met her, he pushed her away but to no avail. He then backed down his guard, lowered his sword and risk his safe space. Just as when you thought it's a perfect love story, things went downhill. She's ready to sacrifice her comfortable and reserved life just to be with him. But he didn't want her to break apart. If it means he should drown just to save her, even if it will cause her to hate him entirely, he will let her go. And so he did. She came back loathing him, as he wished. And he swore he'll win her over.
