Elsie Taylor knew nothing more than the life that involved the constant moving around. She had always thought that it was normal to not have a place to call home, as she was too young to understand what was really going on. 

"I knew nothing more than the 100 of states and countries that I had ever stayed in" 

Elsie didn't know that there was a whole other side to the life she was living. She had no idea that there was people out there, searching for her, to bring her home. To get her away from the father that she had always known. The same father that had ruined her childhood. 

Elsie's eldest brother, Henry, was just about the only person that had ever met this little girl. Their other brothers had been too young or absent at the one time that she was seen with them, before she was whisked away from their arms. 

"She is just a kid. She doesn't understand what you did to her!" 

Now, it was their time to follow the string that would bring their little 8-year old sister back home, safely. But what happens when their is bumps in the road that leads them into trouble that may not bring everyone out safely on the other side

A brother and a sister. One is the captain of the hockey team in a small town while the other aspires to be the best figure skater out there. But what happens when they cross paths after a year of being apart, and everything has changed. One doesn't want to be seen by the other, rather wanting to leave the small town for bigger opportunities and the other has lost their aspirations to be the best figure skater, rather wanting to be on the ice hockey team. Everyone thought that nothing could come between the two of them, but maybe there is more to their story. Maybe they both have secrets they have been hiding for so long that they don't even know the truth. But what happens if it isn't all about how they have changed and grown apart and that someone else was involved? No one knows the truth, but maybe by adding the bad boy's, The Armani's, to the table will bring someone down, or someone else up. Just bring the grandchildren of a designer together and see what happens. See who breaks first. See who messes with the Lauren's first. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know who you are anymore" "I trusted you. I trusted that you wouldn't do that to me but you did it anyways" "I'm not the good girl you left behind for your hockey team. People change, Aiden. I've changed and so have you" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW* some themes and words may be distressing for some* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 30.10.22 Finished: Rankings:
Forget Me Not by ikc_writes
24 parts Ongoing
Genevieve Anderson, the girl that had been left behind and forgotten. In a town where everybody knows everybody, meaning that no one goes unnoticed. Nobody just grabs a bag and leaves in the middle of the night, without someone seeing something. Nobody changes identity over night, and is suddenly left with the care of their father in her hands. Forgotten over night, Genevieve changes the person that everyone thought they knew. Gone was the girl that would smile and wave to everyone, was replaced by a girl that had a need for stealing and getting by every day. She had been left with the responsibility of an old ranch that was no longer in operation and the care of her father, who had been to war, and was suffering from additions like there was no tomorrow. Gone was the girl that depended on her big brothers to open the gate, replaced with a girl that worked long hours at the ranch, before she was sneaking out after midnight, to drive whatever cars her brothers had left behind. Except, one day, something happens and everything takes a turn for the worse. "I left you here, for 20 minuets, and you have already let him relapse?! I trusted you, for a second, and you backstabbed me?! I can't believe any of you anymore, because you are made of lies!" Holding on by a string, Genevieve isn't sure how much more she can take, especially when people appear from the past she thought she left behind, when she was 5 years old. Time moves on for a reason, doesn't it? "I told you to forget about it. It's in the past, and nobody has ever asked me to do what you are asking me to do. You are asking me to put away my boots and hat, and stand in front of people in heels and a puffy dress. That's not who I am, if you had stuck around to find out who I really am.

Elias Ramirez was taken from his family at only a few months old by his mother. His life was one of chaos, neglect, abuse, and confusion. He never understood why his parents didn't care about him like all other parents do. Why he would see parents hugging their kids, and taking them on trips. His own parents never did that, they never talked to him unless they wanted something from him, they never kissed him on the cheek or kissed his scraped knees. He doesn't understand what the word love meant. Growing up in an abusive home for his entire life taught him to only rely on himself, and to not let anyone push him around. After his mother died at the age of 8 he was left alone with his stepfather. His stepfather never treated him with love or care. He treated him roughly and taught him to never trust anyone.
