TW: Mature language and mature themes such as rape, assault, abuse and more don't read if you're not able to handle / or you're too young you've been warned!! Takes place in the 80s, At fourteen, Scarlett Lane has already learned how to disappear. Life has taught her to stay quiet, keep her head down, and expect nothing from anyone. School is just another place to survive-until she meets a boy Dorian Withers who refuses to look away when she's being bullied. He doesn't know her story yet, only that something about her feels broken in a way he can't ignore. When he discovers how bad her life really is, he does something no one has ever done before: he asks his mother to take her in. Living in his home is unfamiliar and overwhelming-warm dinners, safety, people who notice when she's gone. She doesn't know how to exist in a place like this, or how to trust kindness that comes without conditions. And she doesn't know how to face the quiet truth growing between them: he cares about her in ways she isn't ready to name. As she begins to heal, she grows close to one of his friends-someone who listens, offers advice, and understands her pain in a way that feels easier. Caught between two kinds of love and her own unresolved trauma, she must learn how to feel again without losing herself in the process. Blue Souls is a raw coming-of-age story about found family, first love, and the slow, fragile work of healing when two broken hearts meet too early. Started: February 2nd, 2026 Ended: - © @serenefa1ry
