𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗬 in Outer Banks, the Joneses, had everything they could ever want. Wealthy and reputable, the entirety of figure eight kissing the ground they walk on. It was a dream life, on the surface. Pina Coladas every Saturday, pearl necklaces and designer clothes. All the meaningless luxuries needed in a life to have happiness. Right? Well, if you were to ask the Jones princess, her scowl and cold shoulder would be a sufficient answer. And maybe her rebellious behaviour was due to her family's dysfunctionalities and tragedies, hidden behind the curtains, but either way, she was docked as 'troubled' ever since around a year ago.
When Daniella Jones ( her mother ) married the mayor, the rumours and gossip was pleasant entertainment for the public. Even before the marriage, the neighbours would gossip about the tragedies of the Jones household, but when you move in with the most powerful man on the island the whispers become screams. So, her daughter's destructive impulses had ripple effects in their fragile reputation.
In order to keep her out of trouble, Daniella Jones was often resorting to valuable lengths to maintain a clean record. With her new husband being the mayor of OBX, it granted many luxuries, including power. However, it wasn't enough. If anything, with all the fractures in their public image, the hush money was becoming useless, and the secrets were spilling out. And soon the pressure of hiding so many tragedies, faking smiles and perfection, got to her daughter. Resulting in her moving away from home.
Sanctuary disguised itself in a small blue speckled home covered in flowers of all colours. And for the last few months, she stayed there. Her grandmother's house on the cut. Facing the ocean on a secluded field, old and quaint.
She said goodbye to luxury lifestyles — partying with airheaded kooks and toxic relationships. And began an isolated simple life of selling flowers with her grandmother.
Until, of course, she reunited with a childhood friend and became inseparable with a group of dumbass pogues. And soon, it would be with said pogues she embarks on a goonies-style adventure for four hundred million in gold.
A destructive impulse of which would cost her life.

❝ over there is aj, kook turned pogue as of last year. nobody really knows why . . . she won't even tell me. we've known each other since we were in diapers, but only recently became friends again. its, uh, a long story — anyway, ever since she decided to move in with her grandma, she's been hanging out with us. and we've all given her a warm welcome. well . . . most of us. she's a mystery, there's not much she likes to tell people about herself. but she's pretty much got a mouth on her like john bender, so, not many people really try to know her ❞

𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘! thank you for deciding to read my story <3 please feel free to vote and comment. makes my day :D ( just a note, i have no idea if obx has a mayor? just, you know, keep in mind this is a fanfic so if somethin isn't very accurate, we shall use our imagination )
also i'm a huge taylor swift and harry styles fan so expect some references ;)
𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗦 please read this ! i'd feel more comfortable with you being aware of all the warnings and notes
this novel contains, though is not limited to: strong language, drug usage, abuse, violence, smoking, alcohol, scars, sexual assault, kidnapping, trauma and mental health topics. if these thing make you uncomfortable, i would suggest not reading — please prioritize your mental health over a fanfiction!
( my intentions for including these topics are not to romanticize or glorify them in any way. it's to raise awareness and for character development. my biggest goal in my character(s) is for her to grow and inspire readers to do the same. if at any point anyone feels like i have gone about portraying a subject in the incorrect way, please do tell me. im no professional and i am always learning more and researching to show these topics in an accurate way. so, please let me know and correct me so i can properly educate too. i wont take it as hate as long as you are telling me politely and i will proceed to change what i can )
characters in this book may not have the same opinions as you / have unpopular opinions. this does not mean it is my opinion, just my characters. there are also some controversial topics ( an example being things like religious beliefs ), but my characters will speak honestly about their ideas and opinions ect. please do not argue with one another. you have the right to your opinion, and the right to express it, as long as you do not portray those opinions as facts and respect others views on the matter.
this work is also fiction, so the accuracy to real life circumstances won't always be correct. information and data is taken from researching. same applies to the actors in real life. their characters obviously have no association to actual personality / life.
my character(s) are not perfect. I personally dislike when mc's are depicted in an unrealistic way. so like many other people, my oc has stomach rolls, experiences with acne, stretch marks, and body hair ect. my character also has 'flaws' like every human on this planet. she will make mistakes and portray some toxic traits to learn and grow from. please understand everyone has good and bad qualities, and that my character will grow as the story continues. don't judge her too harshly straight away. try understand her perspective.
