Siblings, Clara and Sam Callaghan are home alone one Sunday night. Since their parents are gone, it's the easiest time for the people who want to control their mom to take control of the house. They use the kids as leverage and once they have everyone under their control, they use the family against each other. 

When the surgery for the senator doesn't go as planned, their stay goes from being overnight, to four weeks. Mark, the man that is in charge of keeping them, under control does just that. With only a couple of mishaps, and only one extra person finding out, it goes smoothly for him.
For Sam and Clara, it is anything but smooth. They feel like they have to live two separate lives between school and home, having to keep one a secret. Lives depend on it. They have to lie to friends, and they hate it, but they don't want to see anyone hurt. 

Even though they don't want to see anyone hurt, they have to keep in mind that they don't want to be hurt either. It's hard when almost every aspect of their lives are being controlled and/or monitored. 

The four weeks that they are under Mark's control, are the hardest and challenge them in ways they never thought they'd be challenged.

Owen (17), Eli (15), Danny (10), and Lucy (3). Despite the protests of her over-protective siblings (she's the ninth member of the dozen Harken "siblings"), she decides to live up to the challenge. She's never backed away from a challenge before, so why start now? Even if it means "babysitting" a boy that she's known since she was six. The Sweeny brothers, will do ANYTHING to get rid of Bella for good, so that their mother will FINALLY remember that they exist. Besides, battling Bella in the game of wits and pranks has been far more fun than they'll ever let her know. After a year, they still have not come to terms with the fact that she's there to stay. When one normal seeming weekend, begins to slide downhill at a rapid pace, Bella's rocky, mysterious past begins to haunt her, and the rest of her town. Will the Sweenys and the Harkens finally rebuild the bridge that had been torn down in an equally as mysterious strife, or will they revert back to the hatred and loathing they've known for so long? How will one weekend change the lives of these average teenagers forever? *~*~* A/N: I wrote this story as a challenge for myself in December of 2011, I wanted to complete it before the new year. And I did. This is the final product and I haven't really looked at it or edited it since, so I apologize for any mistakes and/or plot holes. Please enjoy, and let me know what you think. Thank you so much for reading.
