Still unaware of her autism which her parents hid from her, Eloise's life is uprooted at 15 when she is shipped across the country to an abusive foster father. When the new town, house, and school, she is dropped into turn out to be unsafe environments, she creates her own. Living fantasies and fairytales, she manages to blind herself to the outside world.
Her private universe is torn open and her life turned upside down once more when someone enters her story, but lets her take the lead. Following El through her adventure and slowly learning more about her, the new figure helps the troubled teen cope with the world around her.
The protective girl soon develops feelings for her new special friend, but does, and can, Eloise feel the same way?

I thought about making this a choni fanfic to get more reads, but it felt wrong for me to use a known character in representing this disorder. Please try giving it a read anyways?
Also, not that it's anyone's business, but I felt like I should mention that I myself do have autism spectrum disorder.
Yes this story will have some romanticization, but I feel it's my right to imagine a person who is understanding and interested in the way this love interest is exists. And there will be some harder sides of autism shown too.
Some things may seem like stereotypes, but some stereotypes are right.
Some behaviours will be based on my experience and the experience of those I know, some will be based on my knowledge, some might be made up. Growing older, I've lost the ability to lose myself in my world like this character does, and writing is my way of doing so again, so my goal isn't always to be completely accurate to real life.
Sorry for the rant-ish disclaimers. I hope some of you read and enjoy it, but if not I'll have had just as much enjoyment writing it, just like every story i write for myself and don't pub
What am I to do when now my entire world has fallen apart? No matter how much I physically heal, I can no longer keep the mask on for everyone, It's exhausting pretending everything is fine. What's worse is the way they've all been watching me with pity or walking on eggshells around me. All I can think to do is leave this place. Their faces are everywhere I can't escape them even in my dreams. I have to go somewhere no one knows me at all. A place I could just fade into the background and no one would know I was missing if I decided I was done trying. These were the intrusive thoughts that had been rolling around in Rose Lockett's head for weeks. She couldn't stay with her parents any longer she had to get out. She left them a long letter on the counter. That day she began her journey across the country looking for peace.
I Do not own Once Upon a Time or any characters and themes. I only own my story's twists and turns and my original characters and their pieces to this puzzle.
This is a female original character whose name is Rose Lockett. When I think about this character I see dark brown hair and blue eyes, Their skin complexion is sunkissed light/medium. Their clothing choices are more masculine. She has long hair with an undercut usually done up in a bun.
Shout out to my recent editor for her help working out the kinks in my brain and being my sounding board for all my thoughts and ideas. I could never thank you enough. @JessDaniel2401.
