Just Friends

Someone should have warned me about falling in love with my best friend.

Carolina

Little did I know when Rex came to my locker attempting to bribe me, that he'd turn into my everything.

We'd become best friends.

I'd steal his heart. He'd steal mine.

Nothing has changed in the years of our friendship.

Not our connection, not our feelings, or that we still hold each other's hearts.

But his heart isn't the only thing I've kept.

The secret I'm hiding could shatter the only man I've ever loved.

Rex

I've loved Carolina since the day she called my bluff.

Our friendship always came first.

She believed in me when no one else did.

I tucked away my feelings because I couldn't survive a life without her.

We crossed the line once, and I swore it'd never happen again.

As time passes, the harder it becomes to live up to that promise.

Until finally, there's no holding back.
