Remember This✔ by autumnskiess

Molly has never felt safe. For four years she has lived in constant fear that the serial killer that murdered her family is coming for her. She has been moved around the country continuously, dropped off with a new foster family every couple of months that are too out of their depth to deal with her. When she is relocated back to California at seventeen, Molly has nothing left to live for. Believing that suicide is her only option, Molly makes the brave decision to end it all one fateful night . She had the perfect plan; nothing was supposed to go wrong. Just one choice, one jump, and she'd be with her family again. Charlie has never had to consider his own empathy towards strangers. He's arrogant, selfish and becomes unbearably irritated with other people's problems. But when he sees Molly standing on the edge of the bridge and ignores every part of himself that wants to walk away, something awakens inside of him that he never realized was there.

The two are thrown together in a world-wind friendship of hope, healing and passion as they endure the temptation of love and the danger of a sadistic killer that isn't willing to let Molly go.

Her mother Angela, chained by her ankle, was only able to walk around the small space. When the day came and they were freed, Amanda being 4 years old, her life turned upside-down. She had to learn to trust others, believe in them, put her life, emotion and heart on the line. She made so much progress with Emily, her psychologist of 12 years but she's having trouble with the next 'homework' Emily wants her to do, befriend Blake and learn to trust him. Being 20 years old and still only trusting her family and her only friend, Lisa, she doesn't know where to start. Sex doesn't need emotions and doesn't need for her heart to be involved. As for Blake, he'd seen Amanda for years without her giving him a glance. Working with her father as a mechanic, and her coming around now and then, made him curious about her. When they started sleeping together, he thought he had her but always waking up alone, he realized she had other things in mind. Amanda's finally an adult. What has become of her? Will she ever fully trust a man with her heart? Will she find happiness or will she continue to live her life being cold, heartless like some people call her?
