"Some scars never fade-they just learn how to hide."

Harley thought moving to Florida would mean a fresh start-sunshine, new friends, maybe even a chance to feel normal again. But the shadows of her past aren't easily left behind. Secrets, scars, and haunting memories follow her into every hallway. Will friendship be enough to help her heal, or will the darkness she escaped finally catch up?

Somewhere Between Then and Now

1 part Ongoing

Arin never meant to fall apart. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly - one bad day at a time. At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe. After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching. A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again. Not perfectly. Just honestly. A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.
