Still, Always You (On-Going)

Blaire Azrielle Adamson had her life planned down to the minute-color-coded schedules, honor roll ambitions, and a future she could control. Carl Axelle Devin wasn't part of that plan. Quiet, enigmatic, and from the infamous Section E, Carl was everything Blaire wasn't: laid-back, elusive, and perfectly content to stay out of the spotlight.

They were never supposed to cross paths-until a school-wide collaboration project forced their worlds to collide.

At first, they clashed in silence. She was precision; he was chaos in disguise. But between late-night study sessions and soft-spoken glances, the boundaries blurred. What began as reluctant teamwork slowly unraveled into something fragile, intimate, and quietly electric. Blaire started to see beyond Carl's silence; Carl started to show up in ways he never had before.

Then came Ava-the classmate with a venomous smile and perfectly placed words. A few well-timed messages, a seed of doubt, and suddenly, Blaire began pulling away. She never asked. Carl never explained. And some distances grow too wide to bridge when no one speaks the truth.

By graduation, their story ended without ever beginning.

Years later, in a quiet café far from the buzzing halls of their youth, Blaire's carefully curated life collides once more with the boy she never forgot. Carl's voice is older now. But his eyes still hold the same quiet ache.

The feelings never left. But neither did the silence.

A slow-burn tale of miscommunication, memory, and what it means to find your way back to someone who was never really gone. Still, Always You is a story about the chances we miss, the ones we mourn-and the courage it takes to ask, after all this time: what if?
