Steven Easton(27) and his niece, Ava(9), just moved up to suburban Iowa from the roughest small town in Alabama. Steven grew up with next to nothing. His mom cared more about alcohol than her kids, and it eventually took her life due to liver cancer. Stacey, Steven's sister robbed a bank about five years ago, causing Steven to take on the responsibility of legally raising Ava. He had taken her in when she was a baby though because he didn't want another child to grow up like he did. Steven reunited with his father last month, and he's trying to process that. The reason why they chose Iowa is because Steven's aunt, Jen, offered him a job at the best middle school in Iowa. He was a well-known teacher in Alabama because he was one of the few teachers who genuinely cared about his students. That was why his aunt had confidence in hiring him. But will he be able to get along with other adults here in Iowa? He was so used to being liked and listened to in Alabama. Is anyone going to notice him here? Everyday a new entry will be produced, walking us through his interesting journey.

Wake Up Call
A broken girl... Twenty years old and I'd finally had enough.

I am worth saving after all.Complete
ABBOTT ELEMENTARY
"She grew up needing Abbott. Now Abbott needs her." ••• Abbott Elementary | Melissa Schemmenti x OC | Starting at season 2 ••• Samantha 'Sam' Sinclair never imagined she'd walk back through the doors of Abbott Elementary-not as a student, but as a teacher. At twenty-six, life has carried her through a turbulent childhood, a late-finished degree, and years of drifting between jobs, all while holding onto the memory of the one person who saw her when no one else did: her kindergarten teacher, Barbara Howard. When a sudden maternity leave creates an unexpected vacancy, Sam steps in as a substitute for a first-grade class, determined to give her students the same sense of safety and hope that once carried her. But returning to Abbott is more than just a professional choice-it's a collision of past and present. In the familiar hallways, amidst the soft hum of focused classrooms and the chaos of seasoned teachers, Sam is seen again in ways she thought she'd long forgotten. As she navigates the vibrant, unpredictable world of public education, Sam encounters the big-hearted, eccentric staff: the charmingly chaotic Ava, the skeptical but caring Gregory, the sharp-witted Melissa, and, of course, Barbara, whose quiet pride and steady guidance anchor her. Between classroom crises, hallway dramas, and the quiet victories of students who grow under her care, Sam discovers that home is not just a place, but the people who remember and believe in you. Back to Abbott is a heartwarming, witty, and deeply human story about the ties that shape us, the classrooms that hold us, and the courage it takes to return to the place where it all began. ••• Content Warning: Childhood abuse, Domestic violence, Parental neglect, Emotional abuse, PTSD, Trauma, Bullying, Substance issues, Crime, Jail, Medical complications, Anxiety, Loss, Grief, Emotional manipulation, Mild romantic/sexual themes, School-related chaos, SMUT![Wanted and Loved [ COMPLETED ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/44501970-256-k648648.jpg)
