Sixteen-year-old Louis Tomlinson has learned how to survive by staying quiet, keeping his guard up, and letting only a few people see who he really is. To the world, he's distant and unreadable-but to those closest to him, he's loud, sarcastic, and endlessly loyal.
School feels like a prison, the future feels uncertain, and the skatepark offers more freedom than any classroom ever could. But between dreams of graduating together, late-night hangouts, and a growing circle of friends who finally make him feel like he belongs, Louis starts to realize that holding everything in might not be enough anymore.
Because there's one secret he's been hiding-Riley. The girl he cares about more than he'll ever admit. The girl he doesn't think he deserves.
As feelings deepen Louis faces a terrifying question: is it safer to keep loving in silence or risk everything by letting the truth come out?
