Life has reinvented the definition of rock bottom so many times for twenty-six-year-old Sadie Blake.

When her parents divorced she received a new stepfather, countless bruises and a major aversion to alcohol. With her stepfather she inherited a depressed mother, new siblings and a reckless stepsister. With her stepsister, an abandoned baby nephew and a lifetime of responsibility...

Responsibility has never frightened Sadie. For so long it's been all she's known, thrown into situations outside her control and forced to just find a way to make it work. But the kind of responsibility and obligation Sadie has had to endure in her young life isn't sustainable for anyone, let alone a vulnerable teenage girl just trying to keep her family safe; and the repressed memories and overwhelming darkness lingering always in the back of her mind grow more menacing by the day, begging to be seen and felt, and threatening to consume her altogether.

Through enlisting the help of a therapist, Sadie realises her list of regrets is a lot more comprehensive than she first thought, and topping that list are two very different but equally important people - Ruben Foster and Camden Jones - neither of which she has seen in over a decade, but who she comes to learn will be key to her positively moving forward in life with her eleven-year-old nephew. But the process of trudging through their respective shared pasts is proving a lot more challenging than she anticipated...All Rights Reserved

HOTHEAD by YA_fanatic24

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.

No One Sees. by KAubrie

Calla thought a new town meant a new start. But Pine Ridge has a way of turning hope into something cruel. Her mom's smiles are fake. Her stepdad's affection is unsettling. Behind closed doors, her home hides more than it shows. At school, the line between friend and enemy blurs fast, and as whispers turn to rumors, and kindness turns to inhumanity, Calla's grip on control begins to slip. Secrets surface. Lies spread. And the people around her? They watch, helpless-or indifferent. Raw. Real. Unforgiving. No One Sees is a dark coming-of-age story about trauma, girlhood, and the pain people look away from. ***TRIGGER WARNING*** This story contains themes and depictions of trauma, bullying, emotional abuse, sexual harassment, mental illness, and suicide.

the fallen queen | shadowhunters x teen wolf by crysxtalq

"Why aren't you more shocked?" "I live in a world with werewolves, banshee's, twins who can form basically into Megatron, scaly lizard teenagers and washed up has-beens who burn up and come back to life. Hate to break it to you, but none of this surprises me." Sadie's life was anything but normal - from werewolves to banshee's to every other supernatural creature known to man. But one thing that always made sense to her was her family and the life she lived. She grew up as an Argent. She lived under their customs. Abided by her father's code. Trained with her sister to fight against all evil. But the life she lived for eighteen years was one forced upon her. After years of fighting off bad guys, she finally made it to prom. But that was the night when everything changed for her. She was taken by a stranger under the orders of a madman, held hostage for months, suffering a sufficient amount of mental, emotional and physical pain. After five months, she was saved. But, not by the people she had hoped, but rather by a group of stunning people covered with magical tattoos who call themselves "Shadowhunters." Which led to the reveal of the life that was once a secret to her. As it goes... the rise of a king and the fall of a queen... disclaimer; i don't own any of shadowhunters or teen wolf, only my oc and the original characters i create. don't tell my story !!

Invisible by andreaellyce

Her step-brother then gave her an ultimatum, one she couldn't turn down. Luckily for her, she didn't have to live through the torture for a long period of time. But now, since her therapist is forcing her to live with her father for the summer, she has no choice. Live with her stepbrother, allow him to do whatever he wants to her, whenever he wants, or be forced to watch her eight year old sister go through the same torment. Forced to keep her mouth shut, forced to be raped without any control, she decides to stay silent, to never speak to her family, anyone. Until she runs into one of her old friends, Aiden Carter, a loyal, athletic overachiever. Then, she starts to remember her old world, the world that was taken away from her. When she faces her past, her secrets fall apart. She has to let go of the fear, listen to her own voice that has been telling her to break open from the beginning. And if she doesn't, she knows she'll risk losing the one person who is most important to her: Herself.

Officially Us by ashhhmareee

Cheating parents, black eyes, torrential downpour and caffeine addictions by the fireside - perhaps not your typical recipe for success in enduring romance. But it seems to be working out well enough for Ruben Foster and Sadie Blake. Or so Ruben thought . . . Ruben fell for Sadie instantly. She was intelligent, focused and driven, beautiful, sweet and caring, with a sense of humour which would make even the most seasoned of comedians chuckle freely. But there was also a darkness surrounding her life which terrified Ruben, but which he would have willingly endured if it meant getting to be with the girl he loved and giving her the life she deserved. But will Sadie let him? Or will she push him away to protect him from that darkness she can't escape from yet? 'Officially Us' is the second novel in the 'Rise and Fall' series; however, this delectable novel can be consumed entirely in isolation.
