Reunited by hgmgyj

She had always felt like an out cast, she knew her family hated her but she didn't understand why. maybe it was because they never truly wanted her. her 'father' abused her. her 'mother' didn't care and her siblings didn't care. she was alone desperate for affection but to scared to seek it. it all changed when she accidentally ran into him. He looked like he was going to kill her. But he didn't. She was shocked at how similar he looked to her. it was a coincidence right? a few weeks went by until she saw the boy and when he looked at her it was his turn to be shocked. He tried to deny it but he couldn't so he confronted his parents. and so began the journey of getting their princess back.

I Want You No Matter What by shadae80101

Ally Jackson's life took a dark turn at the hands of those who were supposed to protect her. The shadows of her father and brother's vile actions loomed over her, casting a sinister pall over her young life. Ally's world shattered when the truth of her father's heinous crimes emerged, ripping apart the façade of the perfect family. The bruises on her skin spoke volumes - a silent testimony to the horrors she endured in the confines of her own home. Her mother, oblivious to the nightmare unfolding under her roof, was left reeling from the betrayal. As her father was hauled off to prison, Ally's relief was short-lived as another predator emerged from the darkness. Her brother, tainted by the same twisted desires as their father, sought to claim her innocence. In a harrowing showdown, Ally fought back with a ferocity born of survival and fled into the unforgiving wilderness, a fugitive from the demons of her past. Half-naked and broken, she was rescued from the clutches of her brother's depravity, but the scars of her ordeal ran deep. As her brother was stripped of his freedom, Ally was left to navigate the treacherous waters of healing. Counseling became her sanctuary, a fragile lifeline in a sea of turmoil, as her mother assumed control of the family business, a reluctant heir to a tainted legacy. High school became a battleground of whispers and taunts, a harsh reminder of the isolation Ally faced. The merciless scrutiny of her peers made her a pariah, a figure of mockery and scorn. But amidst the shadows of her past, a flicker of light emerged in the form of a kindred spirit. A girl, whose empathy shone like a beacon in the darkness, extended a hand of friendship to Ally. Then, a boy entered her life, his eyes filled with understanding and warmth. With his gentle presence, Ally discovered a sanctuary in his embrace, a refuge from the storms that raged within.
