𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐖 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐔𝐒 by dearestalora

Aaliyah Carter had everything anyone could ever want: wealth, status, and the kind of popularity that made heads turn when she walked down the school halls. To the world, she was the golden girl-kind when it suited her, sharp-tongued when necessary, always in control. But beneath the perfectly curated image, her life was far from perfect. She was dating Alan Monroe, the star quarterback. To outsiders, they were the ideal couple-beautiful, powerful, and envied by all. But their relationship was nothing more than a façade. Alan's wandering eyes and string of indiscretions were well-known, and Aaliyah stayed only to maintain appearances. Love had no place in their arrangement; they were just two broken pieces holding up a lie. The truth was, Aaliyah's heart belonged to someone else-someone her parents would never approve of. Damien Vega, her childhood best friend, was everything Alan wasn't. He was raw, real, and unyieldingly loyal to those he cared about. But Damien had changed after tragedy struck, leaving him orphaned and forced to fend for himself in a harsh world. Now a member of a dangerous gang, his life was shrouded in shadows, far from the glittering world Aaliyah inhabited. Despite the years and the barriers between them, Aaliyah and Damien's connection remained unbroken. When they were together, it felt like the world stopped-a moment of reprieve in a storm of chaos. But they could never be together, not with the weight of her parents' expectations and the dangers that followed Damien everywhere he went. Aaliyah's parents despised him, though they didn't know the full story. They saw only his rough exterior, not the boy who had once held her hand when she cried, who had shielded her from every storm, who had loved her long before she even knew what love was.
