Stay With Me

"Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you."

Amelia Sampson has learned to cherished her life, despite the bullying she goes through. Everyone makes fun of the family she's come to love. When Amelia was five, both her parents were in a car accident. Since no one was willing to take her in, in her family, she was sent into the foster system. After about four abusive foster homes she comes to the Thompson home. The Thompson house is raised by two dads, Sam and Josh, and two kids, Kevin and Katy, which were twins.

Ever since Amelia was put into the system she told herself to not trust anyone, except herself. But when she comes to the Thompson house it all changes. She's showered with love, caring, and most importantly, happiness. Nine years later she's seventeen years old and has been officially a part of the family. She's in her senior year with only nine months left.

Amelia is known as the loner/nerd with gay parents, causing her to be friendless. That is until Shane Williamson came to town. Shane's family moved to the small town after a mishap with his father and the rest of his family. Now his mom, little sister, and him are moving away from the bad memories that remained in the house. Shane's the kind of guy who hides his feelings and his past from everyone. But it's different with Amelia. He feels the need to open up to her, and that's what scares him.

Will Shane and Amelia open up to each other, or will they be left in the dark? what will happen between Amelia and Shane when his past comes back to haunt him?
