Loving Lila

Lila Woods was - by definition - a miracle. Two years after waking up from her deemed fatal coma, Lila thought that all aspects of her life were figured out. Moving to New York, starting a new life as a family with her brothers, all finally reunited. Life seemed perfect, in all of the Woods' eyes - until it wasn't.

It didn't go unnoticed by Lila the way her brother's best friend would miss periodic days of school. The cerulean bruises on his face, his obsessive occupation with boxing. The way he would flinch whenever someone got too close to him, or the way he was consistently hostile and angry. She was no stranger to the lifestyle - she had lived it.

Lila noticed how Ace Milano was undoubtedly fearful, of everyone and everything, hidden under a crumbling, rough exterior.

Lila Woods had been saved. Now, it was time to save everyone else. As burdening secrets from everyone's past slowly begin to unravel, familial ties are tested, and relationships are formed - as well as ruined.

Even the ones that seemed impossible to breach
