Lydia is trying to start over. Again. But this time she swears that it's different. Fresh off of a rehabilitation center, she has about two months until she turns eighteen and ages out of the foster system. Lydia is used to no one wanting her, so she made a vow to herself, that no matter what else life throws her way, she will always love herself and strive to put herself first. Lydia is placed in a foster house where all the unadoptable kids are placed. Everyone knows it's the last stop on the road for hope, but Lydia refuses to let that drag down her mood. And besides, the house isn't all that bad compared to the other houses she's been in. But when a couple comes to the house that Lydia mistakes for investors, will she finally get the chance she needs to strive? Or will the reason the couple had decided to adopt her make her feel worthless?

But it all turns dark when her friends have dark secrets of their own and Addi's voice returns. Can she get through this, or is it all coming to a drastic end? (This story will contain some harsher language and self-harm. You have been warned!) I also just want to say that this is the first story I ever completed and at the time it was hard and I was proud of my efforts, but now I hate it and cringe just thinking about it. I hadn't had a plan when writing and just went as I wished to. I won't unpublished this as a basic point to see how far I've come when writing other works, but this isn't something I've continued to be proud of. Get it a shot or don't, it's up to you because I wouldn't say this is awful and you should never read it, but there are better stories out there. Whatever, rant over xxComplete
