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.

You grew up with a family, you got baby pictures and warm sweaters. You had a home. I didn't. I guess she thought she was setting me up for a better life, one better than whatever she gave you, but it wasn't better. What do you want me to say? I was left, I was abused, I have one leg. I'm damaged goods. You, and the rest of the boys along with you... you have to learn how to be okay with that.❞ - When Mickey is nearly 16, she survives a car accident that kills her best friend. After, her life takes a 180. She meets her brother, and the rest of One Direction along with him. Things begin to look up. Living with a boy band on tour, and eventually in London, was never the future she imagined. Getting scouted by SYCO was never the future she imagined. But it was a future she didn't mind. Mickey finally gets a taste of the happiness she never had; family, love, a home worth going home to. But 16 years of damage had already been done. Mickey meets the boys with one and a half good legs, a broken smile, and nightmares so bad she'd rather not sleep. Are five singers fit to be a family? And even if they are, will Mickey Horan ever be able to let them in? [COMPLETED - BOOK ONE OF THE CIY SERIES] [UNDERGOING EDITING. BEAR WITH ME.]

⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13
