Jenny Taylor is a 17-year-old high school senior navigating the challenges of an abusive home life and social isolation. After moving to Ohio three years ago, Jenny's world turned upside down. Once cared for by loving parents, she now endures neglect and harm, hiding her bruises and keeping her thoughts to herself. Quiet and reserved, Jenny struggles with self-worth and the persistent voices in her head that amplify her anxiety.
Despite her hardships, Jenny clings to a sliver of hope that her upcoming 18th birthday will mark the start of a better chapter. When she unexpectedly crosses paths with Matt, a kind and outgoing classmate, her world begins to shift. For the first time in a long while, Jenny wonders if she could trust someone with her story-or if she'll always be trapped in the shadows of her pain.

Logan
*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.
