You're on Your Own, Kid

Willow thought college would be the start of everything - new friends, freedom, late-night parties, and the kind of love stories people write songs about.

Then one night changes her completely.

After a date leaves her questioning her own memories, Willow struggles to convince herself that what happened was real at all. Everyone around her still sees him as the perfect guy: easy smile, effortless confidence, the kind of boy girls are warned not to fall for after they already have.

Including her.

As Willow spirals between self-doubt and fear, the last person she expects to find comfort in is the quiet, guarded boy who seems to notice everything she tries to hide. Their connection grows slowly through late-night conversations, library hallways, and moments that feel safe in ways she can't explain.

But the more Willow tries to bury what happened, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth.

Because some people don't look dangerous.

And some wounds are hardest to trust when nobody else can see them.
