Cheating parents, black eyes, torrential downpour and caffeine addictions by the fireside - perhaps not your typical recipe for success in enduring romance. But it seems to be working out well enough for Ruben Foster and Sadie Blake.

Or so Ruben thought . . .

Ruben fell for Sadie instantly. She was intelligent, focused and driven, beautiful, sweet and caring, with a sense of humour which would make even the most seasoned of comedians chuckle freely. But there was also a darkness surrounding her life which terrified Ruben, but which he would have willingly endured if it meant getting to be with the girl he loved and giving her the life she deserved.

But will Sadie let him? Or will she push him away to protect him from that darkness she can't escape from yet?

I cry begging her to take it back "You remember what i told you" She sniffles holding back tears herself, "no strings attached, one of us was going to get hurt eventually" "I-I don't care that you hooked up with Scott, just please don't leave me!" I beg, letting the tears fall from my eyes, soaking my cheeks "That's not the only thing i did, He asked me out" She drops her head in shame, "and i said yes" With that she runs off as i let myself drown in my tears.

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...

In every one of them, her foster family doesn't seem to really accept her and she just can't seem to accept them. To her, the possibility of ever being close to someone again seems impossible.

As they move from town to town, he realizes that it may be too late to tell them the truth. Avery feels insecure.
