My sister, Sierra, was an extraordinary girl and around her unexplainable things happened. She didn't have a secret, she was the secret, and we hid her like one hides treasure that isn't theirs to keep. Of all the many odd happenings that befell us while she was here, the oddest was when she was taken away. For on that night- the night two beautiful strangers broke into our home and carried her off -everyone who'd ever known her, who'd ever spoken to her, who'd ever loved her, forgot her. It was as though someone had peeled open their minds and scraped the memory of Sierra clean out. They'd forgotten she'd ever been born- they'd forgotten she'd ever existed. Every. One. Everyone, except me. My name is Alessa Mae Knight. I'm looking for my sister. Have you seen her?

Abbott. Ask away," Fletcher says to one of the girls who is seated at a table at the front of the class, with other kids who all look bitchy like her. "Are you related to the Bolivi brothers?"

Everything worked like clockwork; just as I planned; people are predictable, aren't they?' - Lolita, That Girl. Author's note below- Thank you for taking a chance on 'Girls Astray'. It's a story close to my heart as it deals with mental health, which is a subject that I think people need to have more conversations about.

And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Complete
