Joseph Olsson is a 17 year old boy, living in a small town with his father. He attends Ridgewell High, where he takes his frustrations out on kids to help him get through the pain his father puts him through by pushing his beliefs and religion onto him. He abuses him. He can't remember the last time he was happy or even the last time he smiled and for it to be real, but things change when Elias Greene comes into his life.

Elias Greene is a 16 year old boy, who just moved to Ridgewell with his unstable father, who's an alcoholic. They moved to Ridgewell for hopefully a fresh start for Elias, whose life went downhill when he attempted suicide because of his mothers passing. Things seem to look up when he meets some people who bring the hope and excitement back into his life and when he meets Joseph Olsson and sees how unhappy he is, it reminds him of himself and he wants to save him but it's harder than he thought when he sees just how damaged he is.

Fly Away (OLD VERSION) by strawberry-jam

An idea popped into my somewhat witty brain. "Ooh, can I call you 'Mophead', since that's what your hair looks like?" He laughed. The way his eyes lit up and the melodic ring of his voice was so freaking hot. He flicked his head to the side in an attempt to get his hair out of his face... Zack's voice snapped me out of my hopeless swooning. "No, but you can call me anytime," he replied with a flirtatious wink. ~~~ Sixteen year old Raven Westfield is searching for a fresh start after a horrible accident that ruined her life.

The Pact by litttlestqrs

Emily Caldwell is ready for a fresh start. After leaving behind a home that only brought her pain and a twisted view of love, she's finally found her place in a new town with new friends and a newfound passion for volleyball. She's gunning for the captain spot on her team and feels like she's finally putting the pieces of her life together. Well, almost. There's just one thing missing: experience. And not the kind you get on the volleyball court. Emily wants to learn everything she missed out on-the good, the bad, and especially the sexy. Ignoring her friends' teasing about her search for a "Sex Coach," she sets her sights on Beck St. Claire, UMaine's golden boy and the dual captain of the volleyball and cross-country teams. Beck is everything Emily thinks she wants: confident, cocky, and infuriatingly charming. He's more than happy to take Emily under his wing, showing her the ropes both on and off the court. But as their chemistry sizzles and their lessons become more intense, Emily realizes Beck's charm masks a pain of his own. Behind his golden exterior, there's a darkness he's not ready to confront. With her heart on the line, Emily must decide: can she handle Beck's baggage, or will their pasts pull them apart before they even get started?
