Blake didn't just disappear. He vanished. No body. No goodbye. No explanation. Only the woods... and the feeling that something followed him back. Everyone says it's over. Jade knows it isn't. Because every night- he finds her. Not in memories. Not in dreams. But in the space between sleep and waking... where his voice feels real enough to touch. Closer than it should be. Darker than she remembers. And sometimes- it doesn't sound like Blake at all. They tell her it's trauma. That she's breaking. That she needs to let him go. But trauma doesn't whisper your name from the dark. And it doesn't leave marks you can't explain. Something is still out there. Something that knows her. That watches her. That hasn't forgotten what she means to it. And the longer Jade tries to ignore it... the closer it gets. Pulling her back. Back to the woods. Back to the house. Back to the night everything changed. Because this time- she's not running. She's going to find him. Even if what's waiting for her... isn't Blake anymore. Abuse - the haunting second book in the Bullying series by Maddie Kate. Where love doesn't disappear. It distorts. It lingers. And sometimes... it comes back wrong.
