"Everybody deserves a second chance, and I've found mine. It's you."
Fae Perrigard has tried. She's tried and tried, but she's done trying. After all, what has trying brought her? Her life was perfect as a child. Well, it was, until her father became a lying, cheating scumbag who beat her, her mother, and her brother. Then when she was older she threw her life away on a whim- and that whim flew away and left her behind. Julian List. She gave him her all, and what did he give her in return? Drugs. Alcohol. Abuse. Scars that will never heal- and all because he could. And now she's paying his price- the price that he has forced her to pay with his actions. Rehab.
Levi Grayson wanted nothing more than his freedom. Freedom to leave the rehab center, that everyone called 'the Inn.' Sure, it was comfy, lots of people, a library, the attic that they weren't supposed to go in, but it was nothing compared to the freedom of the outside world. They can go outside, sure, but no one there is normal. And they never will be. He wants to run, alone, and find somewhere on his own. At least, he did. Until he met Fae. They're smashed together in the worst possible way for a boy and girl- they're new roommates.
They hate each other. Can't STAND each other. Until one of them starts to bend... Levi starts falling for her. Falling for the girl with long brown hair and soft green eyes. Falling for the broken mystery made of glass.
Read FMSC to find out how their tale unfolds! Who are Annie, Tiana, Cameron, and Andrew? Will they heal each other? And if so, will they get out of rehab? Who will be the first to go?
Will they ever find their second chance?
Betrayal, murder, illness. Whatever the reason, every relationship ended the same way. But even when they know the ending, people still hope.
She was a talented thief, and he was the best fighter. They thought they could change their fate. They thought they finally beat the curse of the Underground.
But sometimes, dreams remain just that. Dreams. Never to come true and forever to remain locked inside their hearts.
Their only choice? Stand proud and fight until the very end. And never regret the time spent together.

"You teach me how to fight, and I teach you how to steal. Together, we'll be invincible."
"Why are you trying so hard?" He carefully watched her.
She dryly swallowed before answering, "Because I want to get to the surface. I cannot die before I see it."
Maybe it was the inexperience of childhood, that long-forgotten innocence. Or maybe, he just wanted a friend.
Whatever it was, Levi took her hand. It was so warm, his palm tingled long after their hands separated.
"Nice to meet you, partner."
"Name's Levi."
"Levi," she drew back and hummed, his name rolling off her lips with so much ease, it almost unsettled him.
I always update on Ao3 first under the same username :)
