From Highschool Do Us Part

Mariah had always been an outcast—a quiet high school student who learned early how to disappear into the background. Her body made her a target, and cruelty followed her through hallways and classrooms alike. Loneliness became her constant companion, a silence she carried everywhere… until the day she met him.
With his steady presence, his patience, and a love she never believed she deserved, something in her began to shift. Slowly, carefully, she started to change—not because she was forced to, but because she was finally seen. Together, they endured whispers, setbacks, and wounds the world left behind, leaning on each other when everything else felt too heavy. And through that shared strength, they learned that love, when genuine, could be a shelter—and a beginning.
