Always Okay | (Adopted By Elizabeth Olsen)
"All I needed was you....but you left me" ~Alexis Chase Olsen "Giving you up was the hardest thing that I ever had to do but it wasn't my decision" ~ Elizabeth Olsen ------ I'm not great at writing these so instead here's an excerpt from the first chapter. (There's a full prologue in Chapter two - it's a bit complex!) Walking into the dimly lit hospital room, her eyes were instantly drawn to the small figure with knotted brunette hair that sat on the bed. Her breathing seemed to hitch as she slowly walked around the bed to face the still teenager. Those gorgeous brown eyes that haunted her in her sleep met her teary hazels as she tried to reason away all of the worries that clouded her mind. It couldn't be...or could it. "Alexis" the woman finally spoke with her voice full of emotion. *Mature rating b/c of mature themes such as sexual assault, physical abuse, eating disorders, and violent panic attacks* #1 in Adoption 3/24/22 #1 in Godmother 6/19/22Complete
