"Love never ends."

Tessa is a determined single mother, driven to shield her daughter, Mallory, from the shadows of her past. Fleeing a dark history and the painful scars left by her foster parents, she's built a life on the run, always looking over her shoulder. But when her path crosses with a stranger and his warm, welcoming family, Tessa faces an impossible choice: protect her heart or finally let someone in. To secure a future for Mallory, Tessa may have to learn that not every stranger is a threat-and that love, no matter how buried, has a way of resurfacing.

This is a Hardin x Tessa fan fiction, although focuses mostly on their daughter Emery Scott. Finished writing: March 25, 2021. Posting schedule: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It is written in first person, present tense, and has many point of views such as, Hardin, Tessa, Emery, and a few others. Warnings! This has mentions of abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual behavior. Small preview: "No! You're being crazy, Hardin!" I chuckle lightly at the fact they don't know we can hear them. Auden probably can't because he goes to bed at fucking 7:30! Who does that? My parents have a rule to not yell in front of the kids, little do they know that these walls are thin and I can hear them in their room. Surprisingly, I have only heard angry shouts coming from their room, no moans or banging. I'm surprised they have kept their fucking volume down though. I scoff at my disgusting thoughts, and shake them away. They don't fight often though. But recently they have. About me, of course. Mom feels like dad defends her too much during our fights or some shit. I don't know. She probably should be happy he's defending her, because if he wasn't here I wouldn't be living in this house. I would've ran away a long time ago. She's just so controlling and naive. It annoys the shit out of me. Thank god she doesn't know about my late night drinking and partying, because that would only make her cry. I really hope dad doesn't tell her. I can't do one thing without the fear of her judging me, or wanting to change me. Dad is different, because he actually is like me. He understands me. If I am really being honest, I'm afraid of mom knowing the real me, for fear she'll hate me just as much as I do myself. • • If you like Twenty One Pilots check out my other books, Completed books: Tyler Joseph Imagines We're Human. • Jyler • We'll Pee When We Get To Europe (•Twenty One Pilots•FanFiction•) Alive | ør | Asleep.

In fact she had one, it was a big dysfunctional family, she adored it nevertheless. Callie considered her life to be pretty good, yes she lived in a care home, but unlike a lot of care homes, Elmtree house was filled with love, and laughter, it was filled with a family. Callie thought of almost everyone in that house a sibling, so why was it different when it came to Liam. He was just her best friend right? Best friends get butterflies when they accidentally brush hands, best friends crave for the others presence, best friends look at each other the way Liam and Callie look at each other, right? Wrong. Apparently the only ones who can't see that, is Liam and Callie themselves. However when they both realize they've caught feelings for each other, how will that affect their friendship?

Her plan is simple: focus on her studies, secure a coveted place at the Royal University, and repay her family's debts. When she reluctantly attends a party and a mysterious bond awakens with Ashton-her infuriatingly arrogant classmate-her carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos. For reasons Elizabeth can't fathom, Ashton despises her. But Ashton's no ordinary student. He's a prince, secretly living among commoners to avoid the enemies plotting to destroy his family. As the king reveals there's more to Elizabeth's past than she knows, they realize the bond might not be the only thing connecting them. Bound by forces neither of them understands, and thrust into the dangerous world of court politics, secrets, and creatures thought only to exist in legends, Ashton and Elizabeth race against time to uncover the bond's origins. Rumors of war echo throughout the kingdom, and the force drawing them closer is too intoxicating to resist, yet too dangerous to embrace. Will this connection be their salvation or the undoing of everything they're fighting to protect?
