The story opens with you, a 16-year-old girl in a quiet town, working through the struggles of being a teenage parent. It wasn’t your choice, and the truth behind your child’s conception is something you carry in silence. You had been dating your first love, Liam, for nearly a year. Liam’s charm masked his insecurities, and though his affection for you was genuine, his family held dark secrets.

Liam’s father, Richard, was an imposing, manipulative man who treated everyone in his home as tools for his gain. He had a chilling way of isolating and breaking people down, and you were no exception. At first, Richard’s attention came off as fatherly, but over time, he would corner you with veiled threats and quiet demands. One night, while you were alone at Liam’s house, things went too far. The memory of what Richard did that night is a blur one you force yourself not to dwell on.

Weeks later, you discovered you were pregnant. Fear paralyzed you as you realized the truth, knowing Liam would never believe his father was the one responsible. And you were right when you told him, he accused you of cheating and left you heartbroken.

Now, a few weeks after the birth, you're working after school at a diner. Your mother’s coldness stings more with each passing day as she blames you for the pregnancy, calling you a liar when you tried to explain what really happened. At school, you face whispers and cruel remarks, particularly from Amber, a “pick-me” who spreads rumors to gain popularity with boys.

Your only solace is your best friend, Maya, a fierce feminist who doesn’t fully understand your silence about the assault but stands by you anyway.

The rest is up to you
