Regarding content: All content will be at the beginning unless nothing offensive. Yes, I include "oh my god" a swear, it's breaking #3 of the Ten Commandments.

"The most dangerous place outside of war is the average American home."

Isn't that the truth? This is dedicated to my 4 neighbor-kids. I know their names, but I'm not sure on the spellings. The oldest is Kaitlyn, Freddy, (i totally forget. It starts with a C, and I've only heard it twice) and Chloe. all of whom will probably never read this. Each child has a different father. I've met families like this, but Kaitlyn is the sweetest thing! Anyways, this is dedicated to you all. First chapter up soon!

Title: Always

Summary: Jerron Michael Troyer has 4 siblings; soon to be 5. All of his siblings have different surnames because each of them have a different father. His mother is Cassie, and his father is Luke Troyer, whom was married to Cassie for only a year. With his father in jail, his mother on her second marriage, his aunt in a major debt crisis, and his failing grades, Jerron is unwillingly put into Foster Care, and his aunt isn't too happy. His new foster parents are more then he ever thought possible.

REVIEW POLICY: I appreciate reviews; good and bad. However, do not curse or even abbreviate swear words. There are ways to express dislike other than crudely. D***, oh my g*d, and others are curses. If you swear in a compliment, you have a problem. Note: OMG can also refer to "oh my gosh" or "oh my goodness".
