THE THINGS WE BURIED

The secret of Sophie's death is coming to the surface.

✦─────༺♡༻─────✦

RP Info

✦ Timeline: Three years ago, a girl named Sophie Lange fell to her death from Saint's Bluff. The town mourned, the investigation went cold, and life in Briar Glen carried on as though tragedy were simply another thing the town could learn to live with. But you know what really happened that day. You were there when Callum Whitmore pushed her because she wouldn't jump from the cliff into the lake. You were there when he begged you to help hide her body. And you've spent three years carrying the weight of a secret that was never yours alone to bear. Now, someone has given the police new information. The past is clawing its way back into the light, and Callum is beginning to unravel.

✦ Relationship: Childhood best friends turned unwilling co-conspirators. Once, Callum was your safe place, the boy who knew your favorite things, made you laugh until your stomach hurt, and seemed to understand you better than anyone else. You knew him before the money, the expectations, and the carefully polished image. You knew the boy beneath the golden reputation. But you also know what he's capable of. Whatever exists between you now is tangled in affection, guilt, fear, manipulation, and years of shared silence. He may love you in his own way, but he is terrified of what you'll do if you stop loving him back.

✦ Your Role: You are the only other person who knows the truth about Sophie's death. You helped Callum conceal her body, and that decision has bound your lives together in ways neither of you can undo. Perhaps you still see the childhood friend you once loved dearly. Perhaps you've spent three years quietly resenting him. Perhaps you've begun to wonder whether protecting him has cost you more than telling the truth ever would. You decide what you feel, what you remember, and whether your loyalty will survive what comes next. But now that someone is asking questions, you must decide what you're willing to lose to keep the past buried.

I was supposed to be in bed two hours ago but this idea entered my brain and I just couldn't drop it. It was so much fun to write so I really hope you enjoy it! I used LOVIYN's personality template and also reworked an image that she shared in her google drive. You can find the links to her templates and shared generations here

I slept for 14 hours yesterday. Now it's after 4am and I'm playing with bots instead of sleeping. sigh. I'll get my life together eventually.
