deathlovemusicorphanorphanageteenteenage
Echo White and Marc Kameron have been best friends since they were toddlers sent to the same orphanage. Both of them have been separated and put in and out of foster homes, only to be sent back to the Home and be reunited once again. Everyone can see how inseparable they are, even their soon-to-be adoptive parents Mr. and Mrs. Ray, who realize the duo no longer choose to be separated from each other. 

Adopting the both of them was a hesitant choice for the couple with their own daughter at home. Taking the two instead of only one will definitely be a challenge, but the parents take it head on. 

Marc and Echo have to deal with moving to a new town, but they at least have each other now. They only know how to rely on each other and they trust no one else.

But, when Marc meets Keegan, everything changes. They develop a friendship like no other, especially since Marc decides to join Keegan's band. And when Keegan starts to have feelings for Echo, things become unbalanced...

It's only myself and Cherry everyday working inside this room. Sometimes I wish I smoked so I could go outside for a break but they gross me out and I could never do that." 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍 Just before her 18th birthday Sang Sorenson was given away to cover her fathers debt.

"I'm assuming that little speech was meant for me?" "It was meant for everyone." "But mostly me. Is it because I called her selfish earlier? Are you still hung up on that?" "I'm not hung up on anything, Gemma." "Then why would you go up there and say that?" I demand, my voice rising above a whisper. "Of all days, why would you choose today to publicly humiliate me?" "Today isn't about you, Gemma," Bowie says, catching me by surprise. "Today is about Raelyn, and the fact that we all failed her." ----------- π•²π–Šπ–’π–’π–† π•­π–Šπ–†π–šπ–‹π–”π–—π–™'s life is turned upside down the day she gets the call that her best friend, Raelyn, took her own life.

Katherine Nichols, the one that everyone knew didn't want children, agreed to become the godmother of her friend's kid. She figured that she wouldn't have to deal with anything but the fun stuff like taking them to the park. When she reports live the story of her friends' deaths, she is proven wrong. Is Katherine ready to raise a child? Moreover, is she ready to raise a child with her beloved ex-boyfriend, Jason Graham, who'd she'd imagined spending the rest of her life with? Clara Carmichael's mother was sick, and she seemed to be the only one that could possibly help. Her father was running out of retirement money, and her brother was struggling to support himself. In a last ditch attempt to earn enough money for her mother's surgery, she signed up for being a surrogate. The problem? She began to fall in love with the man that hired her. Will she be able to leave the poor couple alone and just give them what they asked for? Or are her feelings for Lucas Dawson too strong? Collette Fredrickson, despite her trauma from the last time she'd went out drinking, decided it was time for her to get over it and agreed to go out for drinks with her friends, Clara and Katherine. While she struggled to stay out of panic attack territory, she met David Martin, who appeared to be one of the few good guys in the world. That was until after she'd spent the night with him. Suddenly, he was acting like all of the other jerks she'd met and heard of. Adding to that, Collette found out she was pregnant with his baby. Had David been telling the truth at the club that night or had he just lied to get into her pants?

(Prequel to Clair de Lune) "We're born to believe the opposite of different is normal, and vice versa. Well, I'm the opposite of both." I lost my parents just before my fifteenth birthday. The circumstances were deemed accidental and it was swept under the rug. Truth is, someone covered up the whole situation and I was sent somewhere I knew no one would find me. I was swept under the rug too. Critter Ridge Orphanage is an old building placed in the pines somewhere in the state of New Jersey, run by a kindly woman and housing a family of others like me. Boys and girls all different in their own aspects. They didn't like me and I didn't like them, which was fine. Miss Huld, the owner, seemed to like me enough and that was all I needed. Things changed, though. They found a dead body on our property and everyone scrambled to lock the doors and bar the windows. The normal kids at school all started to edge away from us, from me in particular. They called us witches and devil worshippers. They were scared they might be next. I couldn't keep my nose out of where it didn't belong and then everyone was involved in the mystery. There's ghosts around every corner in this house, and if we don't figure out what's wrong here, we might just become the next ones.
