Mridula Solanki has always been a bystander-quiet, careful, and invisible in all the ways that matter. Himanshu Pandya is the opposite. Loud, reckless, and impossible to ignore. They were never meant to cross paths. But when a single moment cracks the surface of what Mridula thought she understood, she finds herself pulled into a world she doesn't know how to face-and a boy she doesn't know how to leave. Some stories aren't about saving someone. They're about learning how not to look away. _______________________ ⚠️ Content Warning: Contains themes of domestic violence, abuse, and emotional distress.

HUGE TW: child abuse (all chapters told from taylor's pov unless otherwise put) Taylor is only five when she learns that the world can be cruel. Living in an abusive household, her days are filled with fear, silence, and secrets too heavy for such small shoulders. But everything begins to shift on the first day of kindergarten, when she meets a boy named Travis. Travis is kind, curious, and instantly drawn to the quiet girl with the sad eyes. As their friendship grows, he starts to notice the bruises Taylor hides and the way her smile never quite reaches her eyes. Though he's just a kid himself, he understands enough to know something is wrong-and he makes a promise to always be there for her. Bound by a secret neither of them fully understands, Taylor and Travis find safety in each other's presence. Through scraped knees, whispered stories, and pinky promises, their connection deepens into something unshakable. But as they grow up, the weight of what Taylor endures threatens to pull her under-and Travis begins to realize that love alone might not be enough to save her.

sixteen-year-old Jessica blain has spent her whole life under the glare of the mirror. Every day, her mother drills perfection into her-every step, every turn, every flaw reflected back until it's all she can see. Dance is supposed to be her way out, her mother's dream made flesh, but lately, the routines feel more like chains than choreography. At home, things are no easier. Her brothers-the one part of her world that's always felt solid-start acting strange: late nights, hushed voices, secrets traded behind closed doors. When a small mistake at the studio spirals into something much darker at home, she starts to see the cracks in the life she thought she knew. Now she's caught between two kinds of control-her mother's relentless pursuit of perfection and whatever shadow her brothers are hiding in. As she digs for answers, she'll have to decide which truth is worse: the one that's being kept from her, or the one she's been trained not to see.

'The front door smashes open, and I hear three sets of angry, loud footsteps penetrate the first level of the apartment. "Oh, darling Amity, where are you, my zucchero?" Stefano shouts in a sing-song voice. Obviously, I don't respond, leaning my body further against the balcony and holding a hand over my mouth, so I don't make a noise. "You're not in trouble, succhiare il miele," Xavier shouts out. "Well, not if you come out now..." I keep inching closer to the edge, less than a step from falling eleven meters and cracking my head open to die.' * Amity Gregor is a regular teenage girl, struggling with her grades and fawning over boys. But she has a dark past. At five years old, she was placed in her mother's custody and separated from her six brothers and father. She slowly forgot about them and was taught by her mother that they were terrible people. Ten years pass, and Amity's reunited with her family. But she's not the bubbly little girl she used to be, and they're not her innocent big brothers. Instead, they're hardened mafia men, who Amity's mother was desperate to keep her away from. As secrets unravel, and trust is built there's only one way through the mess called life. Together. (PREVIOUSLY UPLOADED ON MY OTHER ACCOUNT BEFORE I DELETED IT - THE STORY REACHED OVER 100K.) (NOT RELATED TO FIVE'S A CROWD.)
