⚠️Trigger warning: Mental health struggles (anxiety, addiction, self-harm)⚠️
Start:Mar 25 2025
Sienna is a quiet, reserved girl who struggles with anxiety and a history of self-harm. After a devastating breakup with her ex-boyfriend, she finds herself in a new school, trying to rebuild her life. Her only comfort comes from her best friend, Eli, who has his own scars-addiction, anger issues, and a troubled family life. Together, they try to navigate the chaos of high school while secretly harboring feelings for each other that neither is brave enough to admit.
Things get complicated when Liam, a popular but misunderstood guy with a dark past, starts showing interest in Sienna. He's been through his own battles with mental health, and his attraction to Sienna is more than just physical-he sees her struggles and wants to help her. However, Eli starts to feel betrayed as Sienna and Liam grow closer, and his unresolved feelings for her begin to surface.
