Chanel Westermore grew up in the firehouse that her father worked at. Her and her older brother, Sean, spent most of their childhood with Chicago's finest and their children. One kid that Chanel and Sean bonded with was Kelly, a fire fighter's son. That was until their parent's split when Chanel was 15 and her mom relocated them to Missouri. Fast forward 15 years and Chanel is now a single mother of two who has escaped the grasp of her abusive ex husband. She's also followed in her father's footsteps and is going from being a firefighter in Missouri to recertifying in Chicago. She's even been placed on the same Truck in the same firehouse her father worked at Truck 81 of Firehouse 51. Little does she know, her first crush, first kiss, first best friend is right under her nose at Firehouse 51.

But either way, coming back to Chicago is just what the doctor ordered for Chanel. She's landed her dream job and her kid's lives are better than ever. She feels safe being back with her father and not to mention that she's reconnected with her old middle school friend, Laura, who's husband is a Detective for the Chicago Police Department. Chanel finds comfort in knowing she's close with a family that has been through things just as traumatic and pulled through. 

Even though she has done pretty well with keeping her history of abuse a secret, somehow it comes back to haunt her.

But how safe can Chanel possibly keep herself, her kids, family and friends safe and out of the cross fire of her past when she starts receiving threats from an anonymous person? 

Chanel thought her past was in the past, never to be resurfaced, but she couldn't have been any more wrong.

37 parts Ongoing Mature
Stella Kidd is a singer at the member's only High Rise Club owned by one of Chicago's richest men, her boyfriend Sal Moretti. But theirs was an empty relationship, and Stella knew that she needed to be more than a trinket on someone's arm. Kelly Severide is a lieutenant at firehouse 51, and in his spare time, he's single, bored.......and lonely. All his romantic liaisons are a series of one night stands, and deep down, he knows that there's an emptiness that needs filling. Until one night at the High Rise Club, Kelly turns around and finds himself mesmerised by the girl singing on the stage. This is a story of finding that 'once in a lifetime love' when you least expect it between two people who are so different....but are everything alike. It's a story of breaking free of someone who is all kinds of wrong for you and finding someone who will do anything to be the right one for you. But between Kelly and Stella stood Sal Moretti and his old Chicago monied family who had secrets that they didn't want Stella to find out....and once she did, Sal was never going to let her go..... Until someone, bigger and more powerful, stepped in for her.. which would leave Kelly fighting money and power to get his girl back. (Ongoing story with regular updates.. I try to get one published every week or so.. The chapters have got longer, so take more time to write! I also try updating Questions and Answers regularly, so please bear with me!) ❤️ Stellaride fanfiction. All the characters ( except a few)belong to the one Chicago universe and not me...
