Sometimes, the loudest cries for help are the ones no one hears. Matthew Garner is the boy no one notices-quiet, distant, hidden behind baggy hoodies and polite nods. But behind his smile lies a truth more painful than anyone dares imagine. At home, he's surviving an unspoken war. At school, he's mastered the art of invisibility-until Blake Landers starts to see through the cracks.
Blake is everything Matthew isn't: popular, confident, adored. But the perfect life Blake projects masks his own silent ache-a need to understand the shadows in someone else, if only to escape his own. Drawn to Matthew Blake finds himself caught between admiration and something deeper. Something dangerous. Something real.
As the two boys navigate high school halls, unspoken secrets, and the fragile lines between friendship and something more, they each must decide: can you save someone who doesn't believe they're worth saving? And can two broken people build something whole? Heartbreaking, tender, and quietly fierce, this is a story of survival, first love, and the courage it takes to be seen.
