They Didn’t Notice I Was Gone Until I Left the Group Chat

After his parents’ divorce, Marcus is overlooked. His younger brother Elliot gets cozy bedrooms in both parents’ new homes, while Marcus is pushed aside, forced to sleep in a cluttered storage room. His belongings are treated like trash, and he gets abandoned on the roadside on his critical college‑move‑in day. Hurt and disillusioned, he quits the family group chats. He builds an independent new life for himself, learning home is not blood ties, but a place that truly reserves space for him.
