"What? You gonna avoid me again like you did today? Pretend I'm not here and call it a night?" Then there's Donovan. Bittersweet, underappreciated Donovan. My best friend. The only person I had known I could use as a safety cushion whenever things got tough. My punching bag, my own personal, opinionated diary. He snapped my journal shut, waving it at me. "Can you be honest for once in your life and tell me what that list is about?" "I am honest with you."I mumbled, distracted by the bruises and cuts on his hand. "What happened there?" "Don't dodge the question. If you're so honest, why didn't you tell me they were giving you a hard time?" "Because it doesn't matter." "And Mel?" I admit that the worry in his honeyed-earths had almost cracked my demeanor, leaving me feeling vulnerable enough to want to open up to him, to let him in on all the cruelty I've endured. That is until he mentioned her. He took my silence as the answer he wanted to his question. He wanted me to be the bad guy because he cared that much for her. Wanted me to take on the role of bad friend so it'd fit his story and make him secure in his feelings. "Don't touch my stuff, Donovan." I mumbled and plucked my journal out of his hands with no fight from his end. I tucked my secrets back on my bookshelf and leaned against the wall, arms crossed as I anticipated his next words. I was met with silence and a whole lot of eye judging and with that, my old nemesis, panick, set in. "Did you read it?" Gosh, I hate how fragile that came out. I need to pull myself together before I end up saying something I'd regret. "You still haven't answered my question about Mel." "Because it's insulting." I responded, balling my hands into a fist to keep from chewing on my nails. "Did you read my journal?" He scoffed. "What do you think?" ... A story that tells of the struggles of teenage life, embracing change and how to cope with society as a whole.

Elena Mitchell never expected her first psychology internship to change her life. A first-year student still figuring out the theories in her textbooks, she's suddenly thrown into the deep end when she's assigned to UCN Rehabilitation Center. Specifically, to one patient: Tommy Reeves. Tommy is around her age, but everything about him feels older: jaded eyes, sharp sarcasm, and walls built brick by brick from a past he refuses to talk about. He's recovering from alcohol dependence, though no one's sure he really wants to. Cold, closed-off, and clearly not thrilled to be assigned a student intern, Tommy makes it clear he doesn't believe in help, or people. But Elena isn't there to fix him. She's there to understand him. What begins as reluctant, tense sessions slowly unfolds into something messier, deeper, and far more dangerous: connection. As Elena navigates her professional boundaries and the unexpected pull of emotion, she finds herself caught between what she knows and what she feels. Helping Tommy means confronting her own buried fears, and loving him might mean risking everything. Set in the quiet corridors of a rehabilitation center and the loud chaos of two hearts trying to heal, The Internship is a raw, emotionally-charged debut about first love, trauma, recovery, and the fragile line between helping someone and saving them.

Every stop feels like a choice. And every glance pulls me deeper into a world I may not survive. This journey was meant to change my future. I just didn't know it would change my heart first.
