She steals, she lays in the streets at night, she's tired, and hungry, and alone. Bailey Lillian Nova was abandoned by her parents who never wanted her in the first place. She's the youngest of five, the most rebellious, and the one her parent's couldn't handle. Her biggest secret got her kicked out of her home and now she travels the country, trying to find a place to call home.

Seth Matthews finds a girl curled behind a dumpster one day while working at his family's pizzeria. She was cold, tired and barely lucid. He scoops the girl up and brings her inside, where his entire family nurses her back to health.

Bailey feels comfortable and safe for once in her eighteen years of life. Seth slowly, but surely, falls deeply in love with the girl he found, and so did the rest of his large, Italian family. Just as life got good, everything crashed down when Bailey saw her parents on the television, looking to find her again.

Just how long can Bailey stay before she has to run again?

Where It Ends by ellesdiary

If there's anything Evie Barrett has learned in her sixteen years of living, it's that there's a lot more to family than blood. She's stuck by that fact since the day her mother turned her back on her so many years ago, suddenly sharing nothing more than the same green eyes and a last name. While Evie didn't have her biological relatives, she filled the gap her mother left with people that she'd die for in a heartbeat. It was far from conventional but perfect to her ⎯ she wouldn't have had it any other way. That is, until she gets told that her mother is dead, and that she's going to be sent to live with her seven long lost brothers. Evie's definition of family is about to be turned upside down. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ highest rankings: #1 in recovering, 12/3/22 #2 in innerdemons, 5/10/23 #3 in brokenfamily, 3/4/22 #5 in hurt, 10/4/23 #5 in rebel, 4/7/24 #11 in foundfamily, 9/9/24 #14 in trauma, 10/23/23 #31 in mental health, 3/4/23 tysm for all the support, hope you enjoy! - elle.

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor has been dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters, Charlotte and Bailey, who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better. She should've known that her mother would jump ship, choose the drugs and not the daughter. Suddenly left abandoned, navigating the murky waters of life in care, it took a little while longer for Jade to find her place in the world. Now, finally, she has. At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan... not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman's - a family that fits so perfectly into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid - Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. The question is... which way will she fall? (This description is a work in progress and may be subject to change!)
