underground [au]

He fights to feel something. She runs to feel nothing.
Detroit, 1997.
Marshall Mathers is nineteen, a dropout, and a ghost in his own home-until he steps into the underground where fists speak louder than words. Pain is the only thing that reminds him he's alive.

Then Lily Monroe shows up. Sixteen, soft-spoken, and broken in ways she doesn't talk about. She's his new stepsister, dumped into the house like baggage no one wants.

They don't talk much. But they see everything in each other.

A story about violence, silence, and two messed-up souls who were never meant to feel safe-but might find something close in each other.
