8 parts Ongoing MatureJackie Jones.
The outcast. The misunderstood. The victim. Jackie's life has never been easy. Raised by a mother who never wanted her and a father who betrayed her trust in the worst ways, Jackie was sent away to a boarding school as her only escape. When her troubled past surfaces, rumors spread about her-whispers that accuse her of things she never did, things that no one bothered to understand. She's been judged, pushed aside, and blamed for things beyond her control.
But there's one promise Jackie made to herself: "Keep your chin up high." And no matter the hurt, no matter the false accusations, she keeps that promise. She's been the unwanted one for so long, surrounded by others who feel just as isolated, until one person changes everything.
Hartley Red.
Sent to boarding school for reasons he keeps to himself, Hartley meets Jackie. Strong, resilient, and fierce, he can't help but notice her. Despite the harsh treatment she faces, she holds her head high, a quiet strength in the face of it all. He watches from a distance, wondering what it is that keeps her going, and before he knows it, a bond starts to form between them-a connection that surprises even him.
As they navigate the challenges of their own painful histories, they begin to realize they may not be as alone as they once thought. In a world full of judgment, can they find the strength to rise above it all?
