Her name was Karen Baker. 

Her son was found sleeping in a cot in Covent Garden, with nothing but a carton box, a necklace, and a wrist band that read: Aiden Nolan Parks.

                                ......................

The bus screeches to a halt in front of an old, worn out house in the English countryside, in a village in Suffolk, known as Woodbridge. Aiden's suitcase rolls behind him as he hops off with his 'mother' in front.

                             .........................

Somewhere in this story, Cassidy Buckingham watches the new boy, supposedly known as her cousin, take over a room in her house. And somewhere even further, the story of Karen Baker starts to surface. Together, Cassidy and Aiden put their fingers on the first threads of Aiden's past, and as the threads interweave, the trail of Karen Baker materialises.

Growing Pains ✔ by MichelleSmith473

Growing up in a house with whispered secrets and closed doors leaves Jamie struggling to believe he is truly part of the family. Not quite fitting in at school, home should be his sanctuary, but it is the place where he feels most alone. "When I was six my life was perfect, and then mom married Louis. He was more like my best friend than a parent but eventually, that began to change. Once they had kids of their own, I couldn't help feeling pushed out."

Records Later, Still Confined (Sequel to BTC) by timebomber666

You asked, I delivered. This is the official sequel to my very first story on this website, "Break the Cycle". This story begins exactly where "Break the Cycle" left off; Christmas Day. It's a day of celebration for the Cerulli family, and the new year marks a new beginning for them all. That is, of course, until things get complicated. What happens when Max's mom ends up face down on the floor with a bottle in her hand? What happens when Max gets in a CAR with a bottle in HER hand? Or when Chris gets a call that Riley's kidnapping case is being reopened on the same night Jack's family gets a call that Phoebe's murder case has been reopened? Or when Carlie and Riley start to get close again? Or when Jack, Riley, Max, and Emily all end up sitting in the lobby of an abortion clinic in Connecticut? Or when the fact that Riley is a lesbian suddenly becomes an issue for some of her family members? Or when someone almost jumps off a building? Life is complicated; of this, we are all aware. However, it seems like life so far for the Cerulli family is only just getting started because what lays ahead, none of them saw coming. Will they survive the drama? Or will they cave under the pressure of trying to keep their family together as outside threats try to force it apart? You'll have to read to find out ;)

Oblivion || Tate Langdon - Completed by Kyranicole713

NOTE: This is a somewhat AU story. Tate is not necessarily tied to just Murder House - it will be explained fairly early on why this is so be on the lookout. This may seem like your typical Tate story and it is at some parts but there is so much more to it as well especially later on). Sixteen year old Jade Song and her mother move to Los Angeles to help with her elderly grandmother. She meets a young boy named Tate - who is dead unbeknownst to her - at the tag sale next door. Here, he sells her an antique necklace with a history supposedly tied to her house. As weird things begin to happen in the house and Tate seemingly follows her wherever, she begins to question if the necklace is involved somehow. Tate is seemingly sweet but secrets about him eventually begin to unravel as do many revelations about Jade herself and even her family. How will Jade handle the tumultuous events in the house hold? Will she and Tate be together forever, as promised? What role do the secrets play? "I don't want you going near that girl, Tate." I felt my mother creep behind me in her silk robe as I watched Jade walking around her back yard, adorned in a white dress against the dark trees, casting even darker silhouettes on the ground. "But - " "No buts, Tate," my mother asserted, pointing a finger at me. "She's too pure. You will not bring Hell upon that house."

I will meet you in the past ~ An Alex Gaskarth Fanfiction by JayIsRlyGay

!!!!DISCONTINUED REWRITING AS A NEW NON FAN FICTION STORY!!!!!! As a stranger approaches Rebekah, she is stunned by the gift she is given. "Use this necklace wisely. You're going to regret if you use it the wrong way. If you need help, go to your aunt" the stranger had written down on the piece of paper, attached to the gift. Once Rebekah took a turn into an alley, she remembered the stranger that passed her. The one and only girlfriend of the lead singer from All Time Low, Alex Gaskarth. Confused, yet happy, she looks down at the golden necklace that has a few rings over another around a globe, leaving her wonder what that was meant to do. What will she do, once she learns that that necklace gives her the power to travel through time? Will she be able to take correct decisions? Or will her life just end terribly, only because she is using a power no teen should be given? (Yes I know the title is pretty weird and no it's not bad grammar. Just read the story, it should be explained within a few chapters :) )

𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐳𝐞 ✓ by TheEnigmaticJesse

Why don't you believe?" I ask whilst clenching the cross necklace that laid around my neck. "God has the ability to heal the world so if he exists why doesn't he? Why does he let innocent people suffer just to spite the ones doing wrong? Why would he leave two young boys motherless and then parentless? Why does character building mean going through shit?" Holden's voice cracks and I see his lips quiver, he looks away avoiding my gaze. In that moment I knew he needed comforting and sometimes that doesn't mean words, so I laid my head on his shoulder and took his hand in mine letting him know if all else goes wrong, I'll always be there for him. __________________________________ Addison Mills just had her life turned upside down, from the death of her mother to leaving the only home she's ever known and Micah, the man she loved. Things look bleek until Holden Daze , an adrenalin junkie that moonlights as the perfect southern gentleman becomes her safe haven in a unfamiliar place. As the two try to navigate their way through senior year, hidden truths begin to surface and dark forces dare to tear them apart. Will their bond be strong enough to overcome life's challenges? Or will this be another tradegy added to the history books?

The Castillo's Caregiver by Buttercup591

COMPLETED Olivia Washington is running away. Not just from her life in New York, not just from her old job and not just from her past... She has packed parts of her life into boxes, and she is going headfirst to the first opportunity of a new life, all the way in Massachusetts, where the world-famous Raphael Castillo, owner of CASTACKS has hired her to be his personal nurse and caregiver. It's a dream job until the perks come in the form of his tall, handsome, olive-skinned, Italian billionaire son, Leonardo Castillo whose arrogance irks her in the worst way and yet... draws her to him in the best way. One very first and explosive encounter sends a whirlwind of emotional backlashes, heated moments, drunken mishaps, dark secrets, and lustful and forbidden acts into play. It's passionate. It's dangerous. It's a type of life she would not have lived had she not kissed those lips of his, had she not let him touch her with those gentle hands, had she not let him draw out her deepest moans. Even though he had a heartbreak reputation. Even though he would rather be spotted dead than with her in public. Even though he had his own demons that would throw them into chaos over and over. He was fire and she played with it... amidst the growing tension of family secrets between father and son, and the risky health of her employer. But when the heated moments are no longer just moments, and the forbidden actions don't feel so forbidden, Olivia must decide how long she can play this game to keep her job, as wounds start to open, secrets start to spill and danger comes to light.

Jay's past is his reality. They were close, too close. And Jay betrayed him. He wasn't going to let that happen again. He wasn't going to let another innocent person suffer. Not again. Memories from his past haunt him. They dictate everything he does and everything he will do to save her. He has nothing to lose, and will stop at nothing to see her live. Problem is, his relationship with her might prove to be more than he can handle. He vowed he would never love again...but how much power does a vow hold over a person?
