Sometimes we're not even fully aware of how similar hate and love really are. How closely they sit together, how thin the line is between them. One wrong word, one wrong choice, one moment of fear or anger, and you cross it without even realizing you've done so. That's how it had alwags been with Casey Miller and Olivia Lordan. They didn't hate each other for no reason. There were reasons, plenty of them, actually. Old wounds that never healed right, memories that calcified instead of fading, words spoken too young and carried for too long. But were those reasons valid enough? That was the question no one ever asked out loud. Because validity is subjective. Pain doesn't measure itself against intent. Trauma doesn't care how old you were, or what you meant to do. It just exists, heavy and unrelenting, shaping you whether you want it to or not. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has demons they fight in private. Some people turn inward and rot quietly. Some people explode. Some people run. Some people stay and harden. None of it is clean, and none of it is fair. And maybe that was the cruelest part for them. Not the hate. Not the anger. Not even the silence. But the fact that, once upon a time, it had been love, or something dangerously close to it, and that was what made everything else hurt so much more.

Claire Shaw wants to disappear. Her entire life she's been judged and ridiculed for the fact that she was born intersex, meaning she's a chick with a dick. And people don't like that. Especially the boys at her school. And while she's used to looks, the comments and even the physical violence, she's not used to the tornado that is Riley Green, the sister of her biggest bully.

As the summer drags on, can the girl who is hated by everyone find love with the one person she shouldn't?

"She chose you" I turned to look at Noah and frowned my eyebrows in confusion from what he said "what do you mean she chose me?" I asked stepping closer to him. A small smile grew on his face as he stood with his back straightened as always "she saw you at the gathering then told her parents the same night, if they want her to have an arranged marriage then the least they can do is get you to be her wife even if she didn't even speak to you" "She doesn't show her emotions very well but she feels more than any of us" my lips were parted. I didn't know what to say. --- This story will include: (warnings) -detailed sexual content -abuse -sexual assault/harassment -violence -alcohol, drugs, weed etc. -family issues

"Love was always so hard for me.." I looked up at her as my lips parted at what she said. I know we might have disagreements but I didn't expect it to lead to us ending things. Then I saw a smile rise on her face as she reached out to hold my hand tightly "..but you made it so much easier and more beautiful than I even expected" I let out a sigh of relief at what she said as she smiled rubbing her thumb over my knuckles since we can't kiss right now "I love you" --- This story will include: (warnings) -detailed sexual content -sexual harassment/assault -forced sex -abuse (mental and physical) -alcohol, drugs, weed etc. -family issues/relationship issues -mental health issues

"She's fucking weird and different than us" she said laughing. It made me so angry. I wanted to punch her but she was right in some way. "You know what?
