TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains themes of suicide, grief, loss, bullying, emotional distress, toxic relationships, strong language, and mature/18+ themes. Please read with care. Everyone knows Y/N Bennett. Campus queen. Head cheerleader. Girlfriend of the star quarterback. Mean girl extraordinaire. She has everything—or at least that’s what everyone thinks. Then her mother dies by suicide, and the perfect life Y/N worked so hard to maintain comes crashing down. The parties stop. Her relationship starts falling apart. Her friends suddenly don’t know what to do with the broken version of her. And somehow, the last person she expects to be there is Spencer Hayes. The “loser” she’s spent years humiliating. Except Spencer isn’t quite who everyone thinks he is. Behind the ripped jeans, band tees, tattoos, and quiet attitude is a rebellious side Y/N never bothered to notice. And unlike everyone else, Spencer doesn’t pity her. He sees her. But forgiveness isn’t automatic. Neither is trust. As grief forces Y/N to confront the person she’s become, Spencer slowly becomes the one person she can’t seem to stay away from. What happens when the girl who used to make his life hell starts becoming the girl he can’t stop thinking about? She broke his trust long before she ever broke his heart. And falling for each other? That’s going to be the easiest part.
