The Cure For Boredom
Jenna Myers starts out with the kind of life most girls would envy-sweet boyfriend, loving family, predictable routines in a quiet Florida town. It's so perfect it's boring. But boredom doesn't last. After her newborn brother dies from SIDS, Jenna's world collapses. Her grief pulls her straight into the orbit of her cousin Tessa-who drags her into cocaine, all-nighters, and eventually court-ordered rehab. Months later, Jenna gets caught and ends up in the same facility, stuck in the same destructive cycle. Rehab doesn't save them. It traps them together long enough to get pregnant. So they run. From Florida to California, the girls survive off prostitution, drugs, strangers, and whatever numbness they can find. They fall in with Parker and his crew, drifting from state to state until Jenna ends up married just to stay alive. But chaos doesn't slow down-Tessa loses her baby, the crew abandons them, and a car accident takes Tessa's life before Jenna can stop it. Then another crash kills Parker and leaves Jenna pregnant and alone, with nothing left but the one place she's been running from: Home. The cure for boredom turned out to be chaos-addictive, dangerous, and nearly deadly. ⚠️ Content Warnings: This story contains: drug use & addiction cocaine use teen pregnancy prostitution homelessnes death (including infant loss, car accidents) grief & trauma graphic emotional distress unsafe situations involving minors Reader discretion is strongly advised.Complete

Dahlia Vale has two goals in life: survive her own mind, and stay invisible while doing it. Between her spiraling mental health and the weight of her medication, blending in has always been her safest choice. That is-until one fateful panic attack in front of the last person she'd ever want to witness her break. Cooper Howard. Campus drug dealer. Chronic flirt.

He lives recklessly-selling to trust fund brats, sleeping around, and drifting through classes in a haze of smoke and indifference.

What begins as a desperate act to save face spirals into something neither of them understands. Beneath the masks and the mess, two broken people collide in a world that's anything but forgiving. Will they survive each other-or burn everything down trying? -------------- His expression softens instantly, his thumbs brushing away the tears spilling over her cheeks. "I love you.
