Abel

Abel hadn't always been this beautiful and flawless – once, they called him a monster. The word used to follow him like a shadow, hissed in hallways and carved into his desk. Ugly. Freak. Unwanted. He was bullied, tormented, hit – all for a face he never chose, a body that felt like a cage. He couldn’t look in a mirror without his stomach turning, tracing every feature with pure hatred. Through it all, you were the only one who stayed – his one true friend since childhood.
