Surrounded by new faces at a school he doesn't belong in, he hides the darkness eating him from inside. Anxiety, ADHD, overthinking, and depression twist every thought, every moment.
He wants to live, to be loved, to be seen-but some days the weight feels unbearable. And while some people reach out, others push him further into the shadows. In a world full of drama, friendship, and unexpected connections, can Ethan survive himself?

Boy Interrupted
Ethan Lewis Walker was just a typical teenage boy - a star of his high school basketball court, talented, and destined for greatness. But beneath the cheers and bright lights lies a secret so dark it threatens to destroy him. At fourteen, Ethan was violently raped by his best friend's older sister-a betrayal that shattered his trust and left him carrying silent, heavy scars. Since that night, Ethan's life has been divided into before and after. Before, he was loud, reckless, and full of life. After, he became withdrawn, angry, and haunted by guilt. His rage drives him on the court, but it also breaks the people closest to him-especially his little sister Ivy, who often suffers the consequences of his pain. His parents see an athlete with a bad temper. His best friend Carter sees a teammate spiraling. Olivia - first love, first heartbreak - glimpses the softness still buried under the bruises. They call him "Hothead." They call him "Walker." But in the mirror, he still sees that terrified fourteen-year-old kid, shaking in a bathroom, begging silently for it to stop. And the scariest part? Some days, punching, drinking, smoking - hurting - feels easier than trying to heal. But in the mirror, Ethan is still that scared fourteen-year-old boy, fighting to survive his own reflection. Boy Interrupted is a raw and unfiltered story about trauma, survival, and the complicated love between siblings - a boy fighting to reclaim himself from the darkness threatening to consume him.
