╰┈➤ 𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 Ethan thinks their friendship went left after assuming he was the reason for what happened to Raellyn....

Mia thought love was supposed to feel safe. Instead, hers-intense, consuming, and leaving scars she tries to hide. For almost a year, she's been trapped with Notti: the fights, the shouting, the bruises that fade too slowly... followed by the apologies, the gifts, the soft touches that make her believe he might change. Her friends tell her to leave. Her heart tells her to stay. And every time she looks into his eyes, she swears she still sees the boy she fell for-buried somewhere beneath the anger. But how many times can someone break you before you can't be fixed?
