Their father abandoned them when Londyn was 2 and Indigo was 16. Their mother passed away from a drug overdose 2 years later. Lailani believes that their mother turned to the life of drugs because of their father leaving but that's not the case. 

Indigo has been through more than accounted for and no one knows. Her little sister, Londyn is all she has left. 

Her sister is clueless to the horrible world around her. Lailani strives everyday to make everything better for not only herself but for her sister too. She won't stop until she gets what she's striving for and she's making sure of that. 

Lailani meets a guy who she finds herself fond of, will she let the life she lives determine what she should do or will she let her heart do its job?

Teenage Love Affair♥ by bellbee19

A 17 year old girl, named Camille Edwards and her mom and dad lives in a dangerous-ghetto neighborhood. Her mother is a crack fiend, and her father is ever barely around, roaming the streets. She lives in a broken-poor neighborhood in the housing projects, figuring out ways to turn her life around. Camille hasn't been the brightest of many 17 year old's. But It wasn't her fault for growing up with bad parents. She has a two year old daughter from an abusive boyfriend named Tyrese Jackson (19) who is a street pharmacist and a gang member. Since her parents aren't there for her and since she's an only child, Camille has grown to take care of herself and go to school all on her own. In order to help pay half for rent, for her daughter, and for her boyfriend she is a local tutor in the neighborhood. When that doesn't work out... She goes into illegal situations in the streets in order to make the money every month. She ultimately has a breakdown and figures that nobody would ever truly love her until she met a guy, a guy who would love her, cherish her, and help take care of her. If only she would let him. It ain't easy growing up without good influences, but only Camille can figure out the pursuit of happiness in her teenage love affair.

She has been in rebab for the past two years and not a single person knows why. All they know is she is unstable. Then there's Channing Knight, who couldn't care about anything if he tried. He gets in a fight, and in order to not get suspended, he's forced to do twenty hours of charity work a week for the rest of the school year. At the local rehab.

Knife's Edge by moxie_writes

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one question remains: Which way will she land?
