Echoes of Courage {mike x poc reader}

*THIS IS AN AU BTW*
In the heart of 1980s suburbia, amidst the neon glow of arcade lights and the pulsating beat of new wave music, lies the tale of a young girl named y/n. At just fourteen. y/n's life took a sharp turn when she discovered she was pregnant, the father being none other than her closest friend, Mike.

With her world turned upside down and feeling the weight of societal judgment, y/ns mother made the difficult decision to leave her comfortable home behind, seeking solace in the anonymity of the city streets. With each passing day, she navigated the challenges of teenage motherhood alone, her youthful dreams fading against the backdrop of harsh reality.

But as the seasons changed and time marched on, y/n's resilience grew. She found strength in the laughter of her child, in the kindness of strangers, and in the echoes of her own courage. And so, after a year of wandering, she returns to the place she once called home, her heart heavy with anticipation and uncertainty.
