"Mo loved confusing people. Messing with their heads and all. Her best strategy was intentionally getting things wrong. Perhaps I'll tell our story like that." Eris was always in line. She just was mistaken for a troublemaker due to her namesake. Her Topsy-turvey life lands her in the foster system. She jumps from home to home until she falls flat in juvie for something she never did. Her Parole Officer decides it would be best to stay at a group home. That's where she met Monique McGreggar. Mo, she goes by. She's beautiful, fun, and a freak- Just like Eris. They start as complete strangers, and end as inseparable. What could possibly take them apart? The foster system, of course! How will either of them cope with not being together? Will Mo ever escape, what she calls, "This Ill-Fated Nation"? Most importantly, will Eris ever come to peace with her reputation? Author's Note: This story is written out of order. It's in the same order my notes were taken. Also, my inspiration for this partially goes to the TV show, "The Fosters" on Free Form. Without further a due, ENJOY!

Carmen is screwed up. She's been in and out of juvie all her life and seriously there's no place she'd rather be. Until she gets released from juvie unexpectedly, given a probation officer, and forced to live with a normal family and go to a normal school. Carmen doesn't even know the definition of normal. Much less family, or school. Separated from the only system she's known and has stayed constant all her life, she finds it hard to adjust to the world outside the concrete building. The structure and rules aren't the same. In juvie, rules were like opinions, people ignored them. But in the real world, supposedly it wasn't socially acceptable to steal cash, or graffiti the front of the school building. Enter the Harrisons, the family who's taking care of her. The matriarch of the family hates her criminal record. Sammy, the seven-year-old, is too clingy, too innocent, and too naive to understand anything. Then there's Jay, the guy she's forced to share a room with. A self-righteous son of a bitch, Jay doesn't understand Carmen and doesn't understand her self destructive way of thinking. Though he's not bothered by her, he's fascinated with her. The family represents the structure and rules that Carmen doesn't, nor wants to, understand. But as Carmin starts to push back at the structure and rules suddenly rushed into her life, it starts to change. Her whole way of living is thrown off balance, what she deems normal isn't. And through a series of events, she starts to spiral out of control, and she doesn't know if someone can pull her up from that. Carmen was given a second chance, but is it a good chance, or is it just another recipe for getting thrown right back to square one, like she always is? Because second chances don't usually get handed out. And she's about to learn what it means to get a second chance. ____
