Dysfunctionalfamily Stories

Luna Avante, a seventeen year old, who's lost more loved ones in her life than most people. Living with her three older brothers has never been easy, a house filled with testosterone and manipulation under the guise of love. Luna is about to discover the biggest deception orchestrated by her brothers. Five years have passed since her sister's death, and yet, it is only now that new secrets are arising from its dark corners. Just as hypocrisy is said to be the highest compliment to virtue, the art of lying is the strongest acknowledgment of the force of the truth.

Riley doesn't remember the last time someone asked if she was okay. Not really asked. Not in the way that meant they were going to stay for the answer. She is seventeen years old and she has already learned the most important lesson this town has to offer - that people leave. They leave with promises folded neatly in their pockets, with good intentions they fully mean at the time, with duffel bags and bus tickets and fifteen days that turn into three years without a single word. They leave, and the ones left behind learn to stop waiting by the window. They learn to stop setting an extra plate. They learn to breathe around the absence until the absence just becomes the air. Riley works the late shift. She carries drinks to tables without being asked twice. She doesn't flinch at loud voices anymore. She doesn't cry at things that used to make her cry. She has become very good at being invisible in a room full of people - and even better at being invisible to herself. This is not the life she imagined. But it is the life she has. And she has made her peace with it, quietly, the way you make peace with things you never had a choice about. She is not waiting for anyone anymore. She stopped doing that a long time ago. Until the night a familiar face walks through the door - and three brothers who left her behind must now face what their absence built. Because blood doesn't forget. And neither does Riley.

The Valentinos have always been a family full of energy and passion, but more often than not, these emotions get twisted into the wrong circumstances. What happens when a new face worms it's way inside the household, disturbing the familial foundation and most importantly, attempting to replace what, or who, was lost?

Why does everything in their lives always take some getting use to? In a world of impossible choices, every yassing one of them has an equally impossible cost. As unusually ferocious blizzards hem them in, the community are cared for by those who are anything but heroes. Soon, though, two new impossible choices await them. Survival, it seems, is costly. And like the ice encasing the Bastion, that prophecy is determined to find its way in.

Bellaire never asked to belong. After a tragedy she doesn't understand, she's forced into living with a family she never knew about-and doesn't really want to know. She's told this is her home now. She's told these people are her family. But all she feels is hostility-especially from Ashton, the guy who makes her feel like she's nothing but a mistake. A problem to fix. A threat to keep quiet. She doesn't want their protection. She wants out. But when long-buried family secrets begin to rise, Bellaire finds herself tangled in more than just bloodlines. She'll have to face betrayal, faith, and the truth about who she is-and who she was never meant to be. Some families are built. Some are broken. And some were never meant to hold you at all. "Grace hits hard" is a story of identity, sibling rivalry, and the kind of forgiveness that breaks you first-before it heals. [SLOW UPDATES]

As the days blur together, Daphne realizes the truth she's searching for may shatter everything she thought she knew-not just about Edevane, but about herself. And in the end, she'll have to decide: is escaping the truth worth the cost of her soul? Some homes don't keep you safe. Some names should never be forgotten. And some hearts-no matter how broken-are meant to collide.
