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!(:

Kalei hates touching. Especially if it is a hug. After all, her mother was killed by one. Kalei was born and raised in Celan, the first city to have an Estranged problem. It was seventeen years ago when they appeared, and the citizens learned the hard truth: that it only takes a bit of skin-on-skin contact to turn their loved ones into corpses, or Estranged. No one really knows why some people turn and some people die, they just know that anyone touched is gone. And Kalei wants them to stay gone. But, being a police officer in the city, she witnesses every day the damage done by Estranged. Black nails mark these harbingers of death. Seeking the high they get from every piece of skin they touch, the Estranged crush the lives of Celan's citizens with alarming ease. They killed her mother for a high, and now Kalei wants to wipe them out of existence before they can seek another. But she can't. Only the Wardens are equipped to do so, and she will do anything to be inducted into their ranks. But will they accept her now that she has turned Estranged? ___ Side notes: While the characters and the story are under a normal copyright, feel free to use the world of Estranged in your own stories. If I come across anything I deem cannon, I will list them here and/or on my website: www.alexfedyr.com (You can also email me if you want to see the world map or learn more about the world behind Estranged.)

[COMPLETED] Autumn Cross is now in 12th grade at her new school, Willington High, with only one goal in mind: passing the 12th grade and going to a good college. But her world changes when she meets Ryder Becker. Ryder Becker is one of the most popular boys in all of Willington High. I mean, all the boys want to be him and all the girls worship him. He could care less about grades because he knows that football is what's going to get him into a good college. But his carelessness in grades changes when he meets Autumn. Not only does Autumn get partnered up with Ryder for the biggest class project of the whole year, she also lives on the same street as him. In the beginning she thinks it's a total curse, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise... They both may pretend on the outside that they are fine, but truth be told, they are both broken. The way his smile doesn't match his sad eyes draws her towards him, and the scars and bruises on her skin draw him towards her. A cure for your sadness could be another person, right? Well put her broken pieces together with his, and you have cracked the code. Love could put their broken pieces back together. ----------------------------------- A sky full of stars and he was still staring at me. "Why are you staring like that?" I asked him. "You scare me, Autumn." Ryder admitted. "How come?" He looked down at the grass beneath us then back at me and gulped. "Because I want to tell you secrets I'm too scared to admit to myself." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🤍I wrote this when I was around 13-14 (i'm 19 now) so some chapters may be cringy but I am too lazy to rewrite them, and still so many people enjoy this book and i'm truly grateful!
