Scars in Silence: The Boy They Couldn't Understand
In a world that labels sensitivity as weakness, Zayn carries a burden heavier than his own weight. Mocked at school, ignored at home, his quiet existence is a landscape of silent battles and invisible scars. But when the pain becomes too much to bear, and reality begins to twist into terrifying visions, Zayn discovers that the silence might not be his prison, but a gateway to something far more sinister. Is he breaking down, or is something breaking in?
People say crying makes you weak. Zayn cried once - and they never let him forget it. It wasn't loud. It wasn't dramatic. It was one of those breakdowns that come quietly, in the middle of a fight you never asked for.
He was trying to catch the boy who whispered insults behind his back - sharp, cruel words that dug deeper than anyone knew. He couldn't catch him. But the tears caught him. And they saw. That was enough. They laughed. They pointed. They called him fragile. They called him a girl. Because in their eyes, emotions were weakness, and Zayn had just exposed his.
What they didn't know was that Zayn had already been surviving a war - long before that day.
