**All Too Caged** *inspired by the emotional storytelling of Taylor Swift* Nayvee Monroe grew up in a house where nothing was truly hers - not her voice, not her space, not even her thoughts. Her parents controlled everything: what she wore, how she spoke, when she was allowed to smile. Anger came without warning, always followed by silence. By age ten, she flinched at raised voices. By twelve, she stopped speaking up. At fifteen, she ran - heart pounding, hands shaking - to the only person who ever made her feel safe: **Kyle Jackson**, her best friend since first grade. Kyle didn't just believe her. He stood up for her. And so did his parents. The Jacksons took her in, no questions asked. They gave her her own room, her first real birthday cake, and a kind of love that didn't hurt. Even now, at 25, Nayvee still startles easily. Loud voices make her shut down. But she's safe. She's healing. She's rebuilding. Kyle, now 23 and a Banana Ball player, has always been her rock. More brother than friend. More family than blood. But when he brings home a new teammate - **Jackson Olson**, 27, charismatic, loud, and too carefree for his own good - Nayvee feels the walls she's built begin to shift. At first, he's just a voice in the hall. A laugh too loud. A stranger with a bat and a grin that sees too much. But slowly, with quiet kindness and unexpected gentleness, he begins to see her - all of her. Nayvee's not looking for love. She's just trying to breathe. But some people don't knock before they open doors you thought were locked for good. idk when i drop new parts🤷♀️
