solitudinis
Chapter fifteen coming out on 6th of December.
Lewis Watkins was born into music - the kind with polished shoes, silent practice rooms, and hands trained to obey. His father, a legendary concert pianist, expects perfection; his mother measures love in discipline. And Lewis? He's starting to wonder if he even belongs to the life they've orchestrated for him.
Then comes Ray Doyle - a boy who reads Shakespeare like slam poetry, wears socks with holes, and plays the guitar like the world's ending tomorrow. He's messy where Lewis is precise, loud where Lewis is silent, free where Lewis is trapped. And he makes Lewis feel things he's spent years trying not to.
Caught between the crushing weight of expectation and the chaotic pull of something real, Lewis stumbles into a new rhythm: a borrowed guitar, a garage band called Static Ache, and a sound that feels like breathing for the first time. But breaking free has a cost - and Lewis must decide if creating his own music is worth destroying the one written for him.
A story about pressure, rebellion, and finding the song only you can play.
