BOOK 2 - imperfect for you series Does this kind of love deserve a second chance? Five years after leaving Briarfield behind, Mavin Keller is finally building the life he once dreamed of in Seattle. But no matter how far he runs, he still can't escape the past or the boy he left behind. When his mother's wedding brings him back home, Mavin comes face to face with Sonnie Miller for the first time in years. The boy who disappeared after that Christmas night is no longer the same: quieter, older, and carrying scars of his own. As Briarfield keeps pulling them back into each other's lives, old feelings begin to resurface through late-night conversations, lingering glances, and memories neither of them truly escaped. But loving Sonnie again means reopening wounds Mavin never learned how to heal, and risking his heart on a second chance he's not sure they can survive.

Miles is nervous and quiet. He graduated early to escape the bullying and chaos of high school, but adulthood hasn't offered the escape he had hoped for. Isolated and adrift, he struggles with panic attacks, loneliness, and memories that refuse to stay buried. His world shifts when he meets Atticus. Confident, kind, and impossible to ignore. Miles quickly begins to crave the connection he never thought he deserved. As their relationship deepens, so does Miles's hope that maybe someone could love him enough to help him heal, but the past has a way of catching up. Because love, as beautiful as it is, doesn't always drown out the noise, and silence can be louder than anyone realizes. Set against a backdrop of late-night parties, quiet heartbreaks, and moments of painful honesty, Loud Silence is a slow-burning, coming-of-age story about identity, survival, and the terrifying hope of letting someone in. This is the first long-form story I've ever written. I would love feedback as long as it's respectful. This story has been swirling around my head for years, and I'm excited to finally fight against my own anxiety and put it out into the world. ⚠️ Trigger & Content Warning ⚠️ Loud Silence contains boy x boy romance and deals with heavy mental health themes, including depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual), sexual identity struggles, and death. I do everything I can to portray these themes honestly and respectfully. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
