Cassie has seen first hand that depending on others- as well as letting them get too close- can give away too much power. When she started school away from home, she was blessed to find an amazing roommate and best friend in Katie, and they are working toward degrees, the future, and security through their own hard work. When you are consistent with your rules to support all of that,plus work and college, what could possibly go wrong, right?

Two women on their own requires safety, security, and having each other's back. It also requires dreams, hope and calling each other out. 

Life likes to throw curve balls, and fighting through the tough parts without letting it change you, or take away your hope is a challenge on top of the rest.

I need to warn you, there is talk of abuse, stalking and other trauma in this story. I'll put trigger warnings on chapter, but I understand that sometimes triggers appear where we don't expect them.

Also, I love feedback. It might not change the story in itself, but can change ways things are handled, and give a place for us to talk about how to handle things in a safe, healthy way. I will delete mean and inappropriate content because this is meant to be a positive place for all!

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Just before her 16th birthday, tragedy strikes and the flawless life she once knew is shattered. Everyone changes and she decides that the only way to survive is to keep all those emotions and hurt she feels locked tight inside her and not let anyone in. She loses all her friends and those very friends that were by her side most of her life are now the ones bullying her and making her life hell. She moves to a small town, little does she know that the town is run by wolves. She meets a brown wolf at the waterfall the first night in town and soon a friendship forms.

Book 1 of the "Used to Be" Series Scarlett Fisher: the school's resident mean girl. Beautiful, smart (but doesn't let people know), charismatic, confident (or at least that's what everyone thinks.) The truth is, she's scared, Scared that one day people will see past her smile and charm, and see the person she really is on the inside. Scared that someone will remember who she used to be. ~•~ Now I know I seem like a bitch, and your probably thinking I'm your stereotypical mean girl, but I wasn't always like this, back when high school first started. I had a best friend who I thought I would be friends with forever. I was shy and timid, and I was foolish enough to believe what people told me. Back then everyone knew me as Arora. After the incident I decided to stop going by my first name, I had also learned that being mean, and not taking anything form anyone was the only way to get people to treat you with respect. ~•~ Arora Fisher: the girl most people didn't notice until they needed help with homework, the girl who was voted most likely to disappear and no one would notice. The girl who her believed in the good in others, who wanted to just give people a chance, no matter how many red flags. The girl who was lost to tragedy. ~•~ "We'll be broken together." He try's to smile, but he can't manage it and I nod, knowing how much pain he feels. "We'll be broken together." I whisper, after that we sit there, in an empty silence, neither of us wanting to be the first one to speak again, because it feels off, like the sound of our own voices might somehow break our hearts more.

*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.
