Cortez has always been a product of his tenacious background. Government assisted living, always checking for the next meal, gang violence, drug trafficking, and so on and so forth. Rapping is his one outlet to a bigger world- a bigger picture than what he's normally accustomed to. Aspirations of making it big, a life far out of Milwaukee seems pretty fair. Until, someone challenges his way of thinking- his authority over his own mind. Havali Elise has never been exactly fortunate a day in her life. But upon meeting Cortez and his wicked mentality, she shows him he's more blessed than he actually knows. More than just an 'I guess.' Created : June 8th, 2026 Published : June 11th, 2026

Kyland Jai Presley and Sailor Noelle Collins had been enemies since middle school, over an incident between Kyland and Sailor's older brother, Tailor. Sailor was most definitely her brother's baby, so if he didn't like someone, she hated them. Life basically forced them into one another's space, and soon enough, Kyland realizes the real shot he didn't see coming wasn't a rival-it was his baby.

Milan learned early that life doesn't slow down just because you're tired. At twenty-two, she's a mother first, everything else second... and most days, she's not even sure she's doing that right. Between missed sleep, quiet stress, and a world that keeps demanding more than she has to give, she's been surviving on autopilot for a while now. Not living. Just getting through. Her son, Kai, sees the world in his own way. He's autistic, and while the world often misunderstands him, Milan has spent every day learning how to understand him better than anyone else ever could. It's not always easy. But it's always hers. Then there's Asa. He doesn't ask too many questions. Doesn't try to fix what he doesn't understand. He just shows up. Quiet. Steady. Unbothered by the chaos she carries like it's normal. And somehow, that's what makes it worse. Because Milan isn't used to people staying when things get heavy. Especially not people like him. What throws her even more is how naturally Asa connects with Kai. He's not forcing it, not changing him, just meeting him where he is in a way that feels... effortless. Now she's stuck between the life she's been trying to hold together... and someone who makes her wonder what it would feel like to finally put it down. But love doesn't always come when things are easy. Sometimes it shows up right in the middle of everything falling apart.
