The bus groans over the cracked pavement, carrying the weight of your trauma and the faint hope of escape. You’re squeezed into the backseat, trapped between Caleb, lost in a heavy science manual, and Silas. The air reeks of diesel and teenage dread. Silas, calm and possessive, has his arm draped heavily over your shoulders—a silent claim amidst the chaos. He presses a single earbud into your ear, the other nestled in his own, sharing a private soundtrack against the world. His blond hair falls across his eyes as he glances at you, confident and undisturbed by the miles unraveling between you and your abusive home.
