Fresh Wounds by DMichelletheewriter

"...I took deep breaths, as silent as I could. My cheek burned from the cut drew by her wedding ring and the blood dripped down onto the floor around my shoe...Too afraid to move, I stood still; my bloody wound could wait..." Kimberly, at the young age of 15, has already developed her natural survival instincts beyond the average ADULT capabilities. She cares for herself as well as her younger sister, Olivia and it isn't ever a walk in the park for the two girls. Did I mention she lives with alcoholic and abusive parents? Survival under the same roof as the alcoholic and short tempered couple begins to look more challenging by the day...especially after a traumatic event that makes life unbelievably worse. And each time she attempts to run, every punishment upon recapture is worst than the last...being starved and beaten becomes a norm. After failing to escape 3 times with her sister, Kimberly has now built up the confidence and is driven to plan a fourth escape. Is it worth risking not only her own life but her younger sisters life as well? Wasn't the third time meant to be "a charm"? Will the fourth be the last time? Is there life after or inevitable death? "...There's no stepping back or running from your fate..." **Updates based on reads, so share the story with your friends and COMMENT!! DO NOT STEAL, LEGAL ACTION WILL BE TAKEN** -Enjoy, Adia

Family Comes First by CRAZY40429

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born? Follow Amara as she digs deeper into her family history, uncovering the secrets and discovering the lies. ___ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ There will be mentions of abuse, r@pe, self harm, death, and many other dark themes.

Reunited by hgmgyj

She had always felt like an out cast, she knew her family hated her but she didn't understand why. maybe it was because they never truly wanted her. her 'father' abused her. her 'mother' didn't care and her siblings didn't care. she was alone desperate for affection but to scared to seek it. it all changed when she accidentally ran into him. He looked like he was going to kill her. But he didn't. She was shocked at how similar he looked to her. it was a coincidence right? a few weeks went by until she saw the boy and when he looked at her it was his turn to be shocked. He tried to deny it but he couldn't so he confronted his parents. and so began the journey of getting their princess back.

Internal cry by TheWritingUser

"How long has he been hurting you?" There it is. The question I dreaded, but I promised him I would be honest, so I took a deep breath and answered. "Seven years." I didn't look at him. I waited for him to pull his hand away, to hit me, to say I was disgusting. And as I waited my grip on his hand started to falter. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Kane is a seventeen-year-old high school mystery. Ella is a seventeen-year-old high school student with a hidden past and a torturous present. With a deceased mother and an alcoholic, abusive father, her family life is a mess and her future is unclear. They have something in common, the thing is neither of them know it. Ella has one purpose, one goal. She has to protect her sister. But what if protecting her meant she had to open up to Kane. Someone she had no intention to speak to for as long as she lived. As murder and violence taints her life, will she finally be able to trust him enough to save her or will she drown in her internal scream? And when a mysterious killer starts rampaging the once peaceful streets will she allow Kane access to her shielded heart? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ New chapter every Tuesday (there may be an extra chapter every now and again.)

Fault Line [Completed] by MrsAdriaGreenleaf

In the first installment of the Fault Line Trilogy, Jane Carter wanted nothing more than for her two sisters to grow up safe. But when her father doesn't return home one day, her entire life is way out of proportions. Her mother began to abuse her, and threatened the safety of Jane's sisters. After years of suffering to keep her sisters healthy, Jane acts out and murders her mother. Now Jane begins her life of being a runaway criminal. She now realizes the consequences of what she has done and is forced to leave her sisters at her aunt's house alone. Though Jane's mother pushed her to the edge of the line and further, the fifteen year old still feels as if it's her fault. Running away from her terrible deed, she learns of betrayal, death, forgiveness, and what it takes to survive in the criminal world. She'll meet the one who'll save her, a foe from the past, and even face the death of herself. With her mother's death haunting her every move, Jane's whole world is falling apart, and she can't do anything except run. As one had said: "The guilty shall rest under pain of death;" will that also mean Jane? Or will she have to suffer the deaths of her loved ones . . . alone? Jane doesn't know who to trust and whether she was pushed past her fault line.

Everything Hurts by analiciapaloma

I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.
