Hi! This story is still a work in progress but, it is very near and dear to my heart as it is about four young girls who grow up in the foster system and they get dealt a very (excuse me) shitty hand. These girls find themselves not only through each other but also from the help of two very special woman, a single, childless social worker and a caring Police officer. Now I am going to warn you know, parts of this story are based on true events are they are hard to read (they were hard to write as well). So if you ever feel the story is too hard for you to read, I encourage you to stop at any time.
Also, when reading, it is going to switch between prospective. Part one: It switches between Kaitlyn, Rita, and Carrie. Part Two: Kaitlyn, Carrie, Rita, and Addison. Part Three: Kaitlyn, Addison, and Jailen.
HAPPY READING!(:

Between Ties
"Don't go inside! Stay!" She said, holding her hand up to show me her palm and then I leaned over the balcony, resting my forearms on the railing to hold me up. I rolled my eyes as I exhaled deeply. Apparently I was a dog now. But fuck, It's her! What are the fucking chances. It feels like I'm in one of those Wattpad novels that Beth always reads. She quickly rushed inside and opened her blinds so that I could see right into her apartment. I watched her rush over to her stereo to lower the volume and then she came rushing back out, out of breath. "Did you get my note?" She asked and then I nodded, trying to force back a smile remembering her cute handwriting, in fact her little note was in the pocket of my sweatpants at this very moment, And so was her 100 dollar bill that she had given me, "I did!" I said as I watched her try to brush her hair out of her face "look, the money that you gave me. I don't want it. I appreciate it but it's too much! I need to give it back!" I said and then she shook her head trying to reject what I was saying. "No, it's yours I gave it to you!" She seemed upset and a little sad that I wanted to give her money back. "Hey, come on. This is a sign from whatever forces are at work here, what are the chances that you would be living right across from me!? This is fucking crazy, I can't accept the money and the universe is giving me a chance to return it." I said shrugging as she waved me off and then smiled sweetly as she breathed in for a moment just looking at me with softness. THIS BOOK IS A BLEND OF TEENAGE DRAMA REALISM AND FANTASY - ROMANCE.
