Rory Johnson has lived next door to Y/N since they were six—the reckless boy who knows every version of her, loves her family like his own, and has spent years hiding the fact that he wants to be more than her best friend. But Y/N is already with Travis, the charming college athlete everyone loves. Everyone except Rory. When Rory discovers Travis has been cheating, he tells Y/N the truth. She refuses to believe him, and their argument ends with Rory finally admitting that maybe he is jealous before speeding away on his motorcycle. Then the call comes. Rory has crashed. Now Y/N is sitting beside the boy who has always been there, begging him not to leave before she gets the chance to tell him what she should have realized years ago.

@kingkayThe porch light hums faintly, casting a warm glow across the cracked concrete steps. Your house looms quiet behind you, blinds drawn, parents asleep. Across the driveway, Rory’s house sits dark except for his kitchen window, where a single bulb burns yellow.
