As cliche as it sounds I have never really had a family. My single father was taken away from me at the tender age of five. Leaving me to be put in an adoption home since most of my family didn't want to risk having me. Whatever that means. At age ten I got adopted. They were a sweet family, it only lasted a few months though. My adopted parents got divorced about six months after I came along. And without having two incomes they had no choice but to give me back. I don't hold a grudge against them. I understand what they had to do. My next family was even worse. I was going on sixteen when I was taken to that place. If Hell were real, I was living in it. Both were drug and alcohol addicts and they would occasionally abuse me. But never their real child. And then I ran. Now I'm just trying to figure out what to do as my feet take me on a journey. Who knows what'll happen.

Glowing Eyes || Adopted by Josh Dun
Lynn Whitcher didn't come from the best family. Her mother abused her, and her older brother was in jail. The only place she could escape was a coffee shop, where a man with red hair worked. He would buy her coffee so she wouldn't get kicked out, and talked to her once his shift was over at midnight. Her world was turned upside down when she got the call informing her that her mother had died, and the man with red hair agreed to foster her until she had somewhere to stay. It all seems so surreal, and she can't help but wonder when she'll have to leave her new life behind. {HIGHEST RANKING IN "ADOPTED BY JOSH DUN": #1} {HIGHEST RANKING IN "ADOPTED BY TWENTY ONE PILOTS": #1} I do not own Twenty One Pilots.

The Silly Girl (A 1D FanFic) [COMPLETED]
Excerpt From Chapter 8: "I swear, she's such a pain in the ass," says Harry. That's when I had it. "You know what? You boys don't understand anything! You've never been through anything hard! You guys don't realize life isn't always tickles and butterflies! Try growing up in an orphanage, being adopted for the sixth time, and still not being wanted! I honestly didn't think I was that bad. So, this time, you boys can play with the tickles and butterflies and I'll start packing," I say. "You heard that? I didn't mean it," says Harry. "You say what you mean and mean what you say. Fuck off, Styles. Can someone drive me to the orphanage. I'd rather be physically abused there than mentally and verbally abused here," I say. "Maybe the next person who adopts me will finally kill me. But life isn't that good, is it?" ___________ please be warned that this is terrible and i am not going to edit it, i wrote it a long time agoComplete
Accept Me or Reject Me. You Can't Do Both. (First book) (Completed)
A/N: Just as a reminder. I am not a cliche person. I do do cliche topics but they all have a Rissa twist. Check it out, and I hope ya'll enjoy. __________________________________________________ He is the Alpha. I am the "runt". He is night. I am day. He is popular. I am the nerd. He likes me as his best friend. I love him more than that. When I found out that he was my mate, I was ecstatic and worried. Worried why? Well because, I Sam Carter was not something that people would call "mate" material and with too much baggage that I don't let on. So, when my mate told me that he didn't know if wanted me or not because I didn't "shift", I did the only thing I could think of. I left. And, on that journey, I learned more about myself, found some great friends, made some enemies, and learned about so called grandmother that was the same as me. He could either accept me or reject me, and he didn't choose yet. I don't know. Maybe I will choose for him, and I was sure that he wasn't going to like the answer. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
