Summary
JJ Maybank had never been someone who relies on people, as his old man used to say “You’re on your own kid, everyone who says they love you will always leave you.” And JJ had lived by it. Even if his old man was an abusive, manipulative, lying bastard. But after a night of unspeakable pain and rage, he crawls to the one person he finds true comfort in. John B.

Summary
John B is just a senior trying to finish his internship and get out before the neuro rehab ward breaks his heart. Because watching disabled people struggle? He doesn’t think he’s built for that.
But then he walks into Room 312 and meets JJ—a boy with a bruised heart, trembling hands, and the kind of eyes you don’t forget.
After a brain injury caused by his father’s violence, JJ is left with cerebellar ataxia. He walks like a baby deer, even with a walker. Feeding himself is a mess, his speech is softer than it once was, and he hates how much help he needs. He falls more times than he can count—physically and emotionally.
And Victor Shoupe is the one who catches him. He visits after every shift, sits through every therapy session he’s allowed to, and learns the schedule of JJ’s meds like it’s second nature. He’s not biologically family—but he shows up like one. And slowly, JJ starts to believe maybe he’s not as alone as he thought.
None of them expected to find love in the darkest parts of their lives—
but sometimes, that’s exactly where it waits.
