1 part Complete MatureJett has spent her whole life learning how to survive - in silence, in fear, in a home that never felt safe. When a quiet English teacher named Jack sees through the walls she's built, he doesn't just offer help; he offers her a chance at something terrifying and new: being loved.
But healing isn't easy. Some nights Jett can't breathe. Some days she can't speak. And sometimes, the memories of what she's survived are louder than anything else.
Yet in the middle of all her darkness, Jack stays. Even when she pushes him away. Even when she feels too broken to fix.
This is a story about scars that don't fade, about finding family in unexpected places, and about how sometimes - holding on to one person is enough to keep you alive.
