Y/N and Elijah have broken up more times than either of them can count—but somehow, Elijah always comes back. Seventeen-year-old Y/N has spent most of her life learning how to push people away before they can leave her first. She’s angry, reckless, stubborn, and carrying more hurt than she knows what to do with. Elijah knows exactly how difficult she can be, and he refuses to romanticize it. He argues back, walks away when he needs to, and calls her out when she crosses a line. But he also knows when “leave me alone” doesn’t really mean leave. After another breakup, another suspension, and nine days without speaking, Y/N walks out of school to find Elijah waiting beside his beat-up car. Still irritated. Still technically her ex. Still there.
