Nila has always been called the sunshine in the lives of those she loves. Until she was adopted by Luke Smallbone when she was nine, she was in the foster care system for the only part of her life that she remembered, but she was okay with that. She'd always been given loving, caring foster families, and now, at fifteen, she has the best forever home she could ask for, and is a cheerful-as-ever as a daughter, older sister, niece, and friend. But then, seemingly out of nowhere, she starts having nightmares, and later discovers that they're of events she never remembered from her early childhood. With the words and deeds of her true biological parents echoing in her mind, she starts to struggle in ways she wouldn't have dreamed possible. But she's too scared, too used to being the brightest light in the room, to come forward about what she's dealing with to her dad, or her uncle, who are both growing more concerned by the day. 
Finally, everything falls and Nila decides to end her own life. A close save by Joel spares it, but it seems that she's only getting worse, now not only dealing with what she always was, but also a load of shame larger than herself. And now, Luke and Joel are in a desperate struggle for the life of the girl they love so much, to show her that she's found the place where she belongs, where there are no more broken lullabies.

Bless The Broken Road by Priceless_Keyper

Sydney Jael Smallbone isn't quite who you'd expect her to be. Luke Smallbone's older sister.....And Joel's slightly younger and (not surprisingly) more mature twin sister. She's also one-third of the band For King And Country. But then, the unexpected happens, and she meets someone that will change her life forever, but in not such a good way. Can this experience somehow lead her straight to where God wants her to go? Or will her pain lead her somewhere she's not meant to be? Also, in this story, I want to send out a message. No matter how bad things are, and no matter what has happened to you....You Are PRICELESS (Cover done by the awesome JellyBeanz....aka @jilnysoto.)

What I Wish You Knew | ꪜ by XFiction_GoddessX

"Finding happiness is like a needle in a haystack. That doesn't change the fact that the needle is still there. It's just up to you to put in the work and find it." His hand slid over mine and in his grasp, he gently closed my hand into a fist, "and when you do, never let it go." When life handed Hayley Peterson lemons, she threw them away. It had nothing to do with whether she liked them or not. It was solely because they were rotten the moment they fell into her hands. At the age of sixteen, one is expected to be as normal as any ordinary teenager. Enjoying life, living to the fullest whilst making many memories and mistakes along the way. But for Hayley, her life was anything but ordinary. Being young, funny and beautiful never once made up for the angry demons lurking beneath Hayley's skin. Demons who persistently dragged her through the mud of depression, anger, anxiety, and loneliness. She may be in constant mental torment unable to find happiness where she hoped to, but happiness comes in many forms, places and people like Parker Nguyen, the guy who not only observed those in dire need of happiness but willingly gave to others what he barely had for himself. When life shoves the two into the other's open arms, they both make it their duty to somehow build a wall of happiness around their inner turmoils. A girl who experienced nothing but pain and regret in her early childhood and a boy who sought out to fix damaged people when he was damaged himself. Will Parker and Hayley be able to help one another in ways others have failed to and confront their demons head-on? Or will they both succumb to a future of never-ending darkness? As time ticks by, Hayley documents the passing days of her life, hoping that the people she loves would understand the thoughts that never made it past her lips.

Events in what seems like another world, as well as a song, force him to realize that his career isn't everything, and the relationship with Sydney should be cherished- not neglected.

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

Rise and Fall by ashhhmareee

Life has reinvented the definition of rock bottom so many times for twenty-six-year-old Sadie Blake. When her parents divorced she received a new stepfather, countless bruises and a major aversion to alcohol. With her stepfather she inherited a depressed mother, new siblings and a reckless stepsister. With her stepsister, an abandoned baby nephew and a lifetime of responsibility... Responsibility has never frightened Sadie. For so long it's been all she's known, thrown into situations outside her control and forced to just find a way to make it work. But the kind of responsibility and obligation Sadie has had to endure in her young life isn't sustainable for anyone, let alone a vulnerable teenage girl just trying to keep her family safe; and the repressed memories and overwhelming darkness lingering always in the back of her mind grow more menacing by the day, begging to be seen and felt, and threatening to consume her altogether. Through enlisting the help of a therapist, Sadie realises her list of regrets is a lot more comprehensive than she first thought, and topping that list are two very different but equally important people - Ruben Foster and Camden Jones - neither of which she has seen in over a decade, but who she comes to learn will be key to her positively moving forward in life with her eleven-year-old nephew. But the process of trudging through their respective shared pasts is proving a lot more challenging than she anticipated...

Every Bright and Broken Thing by BrianMcBride

Sometimes things have to break just so they can be put back together - bigger, brighter, better. Both haunted by the last question their mother ever asked them before she passed away, the Greyson brothers and their father, a pastor, struggle to pull together the pieces of their lives. Sixteen-year-old Liam manages to achieve some measure of popularity by performing as the lead singer of his high school indie pop/rock band, Liam and the Landmarks. But something happened to Liam four years ago at a sleepover at his friend's house. Something that no one can ever know. But in small towns like Summit, Colorado, secrets always seem to find their way out. Twenty-four-year-old Ezra thought that when he left Summit behind for the busy streets of Chicago he could cure his grief, but instead things just got worse. A failed art school student and recently fired from his dead-end construction job, he turns to alcohol, prescription painkillers, and meaningless one-night stands in hopes that he could forget everything. But Ezra can't run forever. Sooner or later, everything that he's been running from will catch up with him. With striking dual-perspective narratives, Every Bright and Broken Thing is a story about the unbreakable bond between brothers, the power in coming home, and how to rebuild when everything falls apart.

Shoulders by Priceless_Keyper

Amber Thomas wasn't the kind of orphan foster parents would look at twice. She was fifteen, she had depression, she cut herself, and had attempted suicide multiple times. No one even cared she existed, except for Katelyn, Conor, and Hanna, her only friends. One night at a concert, she met Joel and Luke Smallbone, from For King and Country, and Joel and his wife, Moriah, decided to foster her after hearing her story. Six weeks later, after some crazy drama to finalize the adoption, their whole world collapses with two sentences. Even when everything comes crashing down around her, Amber struggles to find God in what is happening. And then, one song that her adoptive father and uncle wrote changes everything she thought about how God helps her. And she learns that, even when life is nowhere near understandable, God has never left our side.

See the Stars with You | ✓ by maiacannotwrite

**TRIGGER WARNING** "Someone tell me why I just wanna see the stars with you." 2015 I'm sorry. This probably came as a shock to you. But if you really knew me, you would've seen it coming. No one really knows me. There's not much I can do now, is there? You probably hate me now. I do, too. You'll get over it. You should also know that I am finally free. *** In a final, frantic shot at fleeing a predisposed battle, she finds herself overlooking the furious waves below. It is, at last, time to take a bow and step offstage. When she leans forward, arms wide open to embrace the only fate she can decide, she doesn't expect to survive. Fate really has a means of getting its way at the end. *** He's never been an impulsive person in general, but somehow finds himself in the water to save the absolute dimwit whom he could've sworn was on the cliff ten seconds ago. The girl isn't very grateful when she sees her newest visitor at the hospital. Strange, considering he just saved her life. Disregarding her dance around the bush, he's determined to unravel her story, to unearth the demons she sought to escape. Before he knows it, he's tangled in the wilds of her mind, having ventured way too far. Leaving it to fate to determine what would happen if he was yanked right out.
