"It's hard for the broken to love someone because that person can pull you out of a deep black hole or dig a deeper one." ---- Her name is Maddison Page. His name is Ren Lee. Though they both seem like opposites during the day, they are alike at night. Both sharing the same secret but going through different troubles. Will Ren help Maddison with the monster that hides under her bed? Will Maddison help Ren will the demons that like to play behind his closed eyelids? Or will they leave each other with worst battle scars then they started with? ----- I was staring at the shelf of breads ahead of me, trying to make the trip to the store longer than it really had to be, when I met him for the first time. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked while putting his hand on my shoulder, making me jump into the air. I was too engrossed in thinking about what had happened this morning to notice that someone was behind me. When I turned around to say yes, I saw the most dashing guy I have ever seen before, but then again, I don't go out much, so how would I know. "Do I know you from somewhere? You look very familiar?" I quickly grabbed a loaf of bread, trying to rush out before he realized that I was the nerd everyone walked all over in school. I wasn't in the mood to be pushed to the ground today when it already happened this morning at home. "No, I think you are mistaking me for someone else," I said as I brushed past him. ------ WARNING THERE IS FOUL LANGUAGE, SELF HARM, AND ABUSE READ AT YOUR OWN RISK All right reserved

The first time Mira saw him, he was bleeding. A cold night. A flickering streetlamp. He sat on the curb, knuckles split, blood dripping onto the pavement like ink staining a page. She should have walked away. Should have pretended she didn't see him. But she didn't. Instead, she crouched beside him, her voice soft but steady. "Who did this to you?" He laughed-a low, bitter sound. "Does it matter?" Mira didn't know his name yet. But when their eyes met, something inside her recognized him. Not his face. Not his voice. His pain. Because she had the same kind buried in her bones. --- His name was Riven. And trouble followed him like a shadow. He never spoke about his past. Never explained the bruises. Never asked for help. But Mira saw the anger in his fists, the exhaustion in his shoulders. The war he fought every time he looked in the mirror. And despite herself, she stayed. Even when he told her to leave. Even when his darkness bled into her light. Even when she knew-this would destroy her. --- One night, he showed up at her door, drenched in rain, eyes empty. "I did something bad." Mira's breath caught. "What did you do?" Riven didn't answer. He just looked at her, jaw clenched, chest rising and falling like he was trying to breathe through whatever monster was clawing at his ribs. And she knew. It wasn't just a fight this time. It wasn't just another wound to clean up. He had crossed a line. And now, there were only two options-run, or drown with him. Mira should have been afraid. Should have shut the door, called the police, saved herself. But love made people stupid. So she stepped forward, wiped the blood from his cheek, and whispered, "Then we leave. Together." Because blood runs thicker than water. And love? Love was the thing that made you stay-even when you knew it would kill you.
