"I guess we all have to start from somewhere. Some start from the comfortable lives of loving families, and some start from the comfort of an abandoned alleyway."
Ally hasn't had an easy life at all.
When she was an infant, she was left in a cardboard box, alone and abandoned in an alleyway. She was found and then put up for adoption.
Ally was soon adopted and had two loving parents. Everything was perfect for awhile until tragedy struck. She ended up thrown into the foster care system and grew up believing that she was truly alone and that she could never be loved. Abandonment and loneliness swallowed her whole.
That was until she moved into Mrs. Webber's home and met the neighbour's son.
Can he be the one to help her realise that she can be loved?

"I don't know why, but I found myself staring at Brodie. His messy brown sun-bleached hair, his tanned skin, the way his tank top clung to his chest. He was wearing board shorts, just like me, but somehow he looked... different. I must've been staring for too long because he caught me. His green eyes met mine, and instead of laughing it off, he stepped closer. Our dancing turned... well, suggestive. We were moving against each other in ways that would definitely get us kicked out of any family-friendly venue. Our hands were going up each-others tanks, and down the waist bands of our board shorts. But the crowd loved it. People were shouting, clapping, and whistling. That was all that mattered, right? Surely everyone knew we were just messing around. Brodie was like a brother to me. Right? I should've stopped him. I should've laughed it off, stepped away, something. But I didn't." Brodie has been Havens' best friend for as long as he can remember. They've faced every challenge in life together. But when boundaries are blurred and everything takes a turn, Haven doesn't know what to do.Complete
The Great Pretender
Cherish had never been good at coping. She knew this. It had always been Len who'd held her together. But with Len gone, Cherish turned to the only coping mechanism she knew- denial. It was easy, simply pretend it hadn't happened; pretend he hadn't happened, pretend she hadn't happened. All she had to do was ignore any and everything that served as a reminder. Even if that meant moving and changing everything about herself and living as a shell. The problem? Everything reminded her. Her sister, her old friends, even her own skin. And she was putting so much effort into avoiding the newest truth that threatened to pull her apart, that she was letting her guard slip elsewhere. For years she'd kept a careful distance from boys, steeling her heart from a pain that scared her. And yet somehow, the strange new boys had managed, despite her best efforts, to work their way into her life. Cherish was soon going to learn that pretending was just that; pretending. That she could only patch the walls that she'd built around herself for so long. It would only be a matter of time before her dam would break and the buildup of her denials would surge through and drown her. She would need to learn to cope and trust or be washed away in the flood. Rated Mature for dark themes and substance use & abuse and languageComplete
