Jaden has always been part of the scene. Ethan's best friend, the protective big brother, he enters and leaves the house as if it were his own. And between him and me, it's simple: we never supported each other. Provocations, black looks, acerb remarks... a permanent cold war, fueled by a tension that neither he nor I really seek to appease. Two years older, too sure of himself, always crossing this invisible limit just to make me react, he is also very protective, jealous and possessive. And I refuse to step back. But behind the pikes and arguments, something changes. Subtly. Dangerously. Silences become heavier, looks more insistent, and some absences... too noticed. Until the day when the border between hatred and attraction disappears.
