𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 . . . Sophomore year of college brings things you never imagined the universe would hand you. Somehow, you find yourself walking through it without the one person who was supposed to guide you through everything, carrying more baggage than you ever thought you could bear. So you spend your days surrounded by the family you've chosen instead-a loud, chaotic group of friends who refuse to let you lose yourself again.

Then someone new finds his way into your life-and into your friend group. He's guarded, burdened by a past that still clings to him, carrying the kind of weight that makes him difficult to reach. But beneath all those walls is someone who's only ever needed one thing:

To believe he's worthy of being loved.

revised/continuing through 2026.

modern college au set at a real school, drinking and use of drugs/drug abuse, explicit depictions of addiction, explicit sexual content including a theme of sexual ABUSE, themes and references to self-harm, death, suicide, allusions to hallucinations and schizophrenia canon/non-canon characterization. while in no way am I trying to glorify these things, a lot of the experiences that I have put into this book I have experienced myself-- and want to bring them to light.

when i put warnings, please, for the love of god, take them seriously.
proceed with caution as you read, because this story is not for the faint of heart.
