How many times have they wished to disappear beneath the floor boards? How many times have their pleas gone unanswered? More than Valerie could ever hope to remember, that's for sure. In a home where abuse is rampant, the only place to hide is in the closet, and it is the closest thing to a sanctuary left to them.
"Alona, don't make a sound," Val whispered against her sister's hair, "If we play the game well and not get found, then we may win a prize. Wouldn't that be lovely?"
Her younger sister nodded animatedly.
Valerie just didn't have the heart to tell her the prize was not getting found.
Will they always have to hide in fear like this, or will there be an escape they can finally find beyond their father's wrath?

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan.

Coming Home!
Prologue The rain hammered against the apartment window as Freen stared at her phone, hands trembling. Her mother's voice still echoed in her head from the devastating call. 'Mind is gone.' Her sister-her only ally-was dead. A car accident. Gone in an instant, leaving behind ten-year-old Annie. "Freen?" Nam's voice came from behind her. "What's wrong?" "My sister..." The words came out as barely a whisper. "She's dead." Three pairs of arms surrounded her as the sobs came. Nam, Heng, and Noey-her chosen family for the past five years since she'd left home with nothing but a guitar and broken dreams. Through her grief, her mother's other words echoed: 'Annie is to be in your care. Not ours. Yours." Mind had chosen her. Even after years of separation, Mind still believed in her enough to entrust her with the most precious thing in her life. But how could she? Someone who jumped at loud noises, who had panic attacks, who could barely take care of herself-how could she care for a grieving child? "I have to go back," Freen whispered. "I have to go home." Home. The place she'd sworn never to return to. Where her father's voice still echoed, calling her worthless, saying her music was a joke. "Then we'll help you pack," Heng said simply. Freen looked at her friends-the ones who'd held her together through everything. Now she had to leave them behind to face her past. But somewhere in that hometown, a little girl was waiting. A little girl who'd lost everything, just like Freen had once lost everything. Mind had trusted her with this. The sister who'd snuck into her room to hear her practice, who'd believed in her dreams when no one else did. Maybe it was time to prove that belief hadn't been misplaced. Maybe it was time to go home.Complete

She Hides Behind a Smile
Natalie opened her mouth to scream for her father, but Edward tightened the belt even more. He smirked widely at her, and pushed her over the bed. She started sobbing silently, choking and gasping again. She hung her head, and then he untightened the belt. He just grabbed her turn panties instead, and shoved them into her mouth. He took the belt from around her neck and undid his pants, letting his member out from his boxers. He then leaned over her, breathing lightly into her right ear, and spoke in a deep and lustful tone. "Scream, or tell anyone, and I'll make sure that you can never walk again. Understood, you little sl*t?" He whispered into her ear. **Just a note. This can get very descriptive and highly offensive. There is rape, abuse, and mentions of suicide in the story. So please, if you are a sensitive person, Don't Read The Damn Thing.**Complete
