Missy has not had an easy life. Moved out when she was only 16 years old. For the past 4 years she has lived with her friend Annie and taken care of her younger sister. Her mother (a druggie and drunk) pushes her to every limit. Not only is her mother a low life but Missy has never even known her father. This leaves her somewhat broken and pleading for a loving family. 

Missy pushes through her hard life with the help of her dear friends Jace and Annie. But one day her long lost dad shows up and tells her something that just may change her life forever...

"Behind Closed Doors" by ariesss1794
41 parts Complete Mature
Kayla's life seems perfect on the outside-she's a 23-year-old college student with big dreams, a tight circle of friends, and two protective older brothers. She's always been independent, handling her own business and staying focused on her goals. But when she meets Devin, a smooth-talking guy who seems to have it all together, everything starts to change. At first, Devin is everything Kayla could want-charming, attentive, and always making her feel special. But as their relationship deepens, his true colors begin to show. Devin's charm turns to control, and his love turns into something darker. Trapped in an abusive relationship that no one knows about, Kayla finds herself isolated, scared, and unsure of how to escape. With her best friend Lena starting to notice the changes in her, and her brothers Isaiah and Jordan growing suspicious, Kayla struggles to keep her secret while searching for a way out. But leaving Devin isn't as simple as it seems. The deeper she falls into his manipulation, the harder it becomes to break free. In this short, gripping urban drama, Kayla's strength is tested as she fights to reclaim her life and rediscover her voice. Set against the backdrop of city life, "Behind Closed Doors" is a powerful story about love, control, and survival, written in raw, unfiltered Ebonics that captures the realities of living in the streets. Will Kayla find the courage to escape, or will Devin's hold on her drag her down for good?
