Avery runs because stopping hurts too much. With an alcoholic father and a family that's been broken for as long as she can remember, she's learned how to survive by moving forward-never looking back, never slowing down. Caleb is her track coach. Strict. Annoying. Always watching. He's not supposed to notice the bruises, the panic, the way Avery pushes her body past its limits like pain is the only thing she understands. But he does. What starts as irritation turns into something dangerous. Something real. Because Caleb isn't just the first person to believe in her- he's the first person who truly sees her. And once someone sees you, there's no going back. ⚠️ TW: domestic violence, alcohol abuse, panic attacks, self harm
