Taylor never knew her parents, the only thing they gave her was her name. Five years into being put into an orphanage something drastic happens that makes Taylor the way she is. 

Xavier Black had a bad past, that makes him who he is: cold hearted at times, but can be friendly. His past was bad, but compared to Taylors it's like him being poked with a needle and her being bombed to pieces. 

He has two best friends Trevor and Dylan, practically brothers. So when Taylor, the girl who's never had a proper friend walks into their lives how will it go?

Emma Reese's main worries used to be homework, feeding her cat and being able to find her Friends reruns in the DVR. That was until she decides to do something nice for the world, something you'd think she'd be rewarded for, but it seems karma was broken that day for when she offers to lock up the school library after hours she's stormed by five teenage delinquent boys. She thinks she has them bested as she runs away from the still unlocked library when once again life throws her another curveball. Rounding the corner on her way to her gran's house when the dark, mysterious, and somewhat handsome boy she thought she escaped cuts her off. Then, you know what they say; you can't ever just have one potato chip, Mr. Mysterious's friend magically appears not only stealing her backpack but also her freedom. They decide it'd be difficult to hide her body so what's the next best thing? kidnapping. Emma's whisked away from her simpleton life into one of what seems like life in a can. She's never felt more trapped yet somehow free. Carter Tyler is a delinquent. A high schooler who'd somehow managed to work hard enough to graduate a year earlier than Emma and all of his crime thirsty friends even though he was the same age. His first time in the school library after four years of high school he thought would be boring, indifferent if you will. Instead, he somehow ends up home with a seemingly crazy girl and missing his first kiss. In Carter's eyes Emma, who had convinced him her name was Valerie, was weird beyond belief, yet he was somewhat drawn to her. He sees Emma as a judgmental nun who assumes that just because he's been to Juvie a time or two, hasn't ever kissed a girl. That just because he could have any girl in the school that he wanted, had never been on a date. He thought Emma saw him for his looks only, and for some odd reason, he wanted her to see him as more. He wanted to show her he had a heart along with Calvin Klein looks. That he was more than a pretty face.
Behind Closed Doors by Brooklyngirl1026
25 parts Complete Mature
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.
