Y/N was only supposed to be driving home from college for a family visit. With Brooks Sutton Bauxbaum on the phone the entire way, the drive feels ordinary—until the call suddenly disconnects. Brooks knows immediately that something is wrong. He races to the scene, desperately asking the same question over and over: “Where’s my sister?” But while Brooks is fighting through panic to make sure Y/N is okay, another person is quietly falling apart. Wesley Blake Briggs has always been Brooks’s best friend. He was never supposed to become the guy who memorizes Y/N’s favorite things, steals glances when nobody’s watching, and acts like they’re already a couple despite never actually admitting what they are. Now, after hearing about the accident, Wesley has only one thought: Get to Y/N. Because sometimes it takes almost losing someone to realize they were never just a friend.
