Still, You

Three years ago, I lost everything: my name, my brother, my sense of safety.
A teacher's obsession turned my life into a headline, and I disappeared under a new identity, a new town, a new lie.

Now I live in a small college where no one knows who I am.
That's the point.

Then Bellamy Reed walks in, fists bruised, eyes full of questions, and a kindness that feels too dangerous.
He's not supposed to see me.
No one is.

Because if he does, the past will too.
And someone out there has been waiting for me to be found.
