Lennon Miller and Jack Hughes were once inseparable. Being born on the same day, in the same hospital to moms who were best friends would do that to two people.
Every memory Lennon had as a child consisted of the brunette boy at her side. He was he...

*JACK'S POV*
I don't know how I to act around her anymore. She has changed so much since I last saw her. Lennon is absolutely stunning. She is lethal and graceful in the way she carries herself. I know that for a fact when she steps into the living room and my jaw drops to the floor with one look at her outfit.
There wasn't a second in the past six years that I didn't spend thinking about her. I was wrong for the way I left things and I feel nothing but immense guilt.
She didn't deserve the way I left things. Lennon didn't do anything wrong. I was selfish and scared and I took it out on her. I took out my frustration on the one person who I loved more than anything.
This whole fake dating thing was my idea. It wasn't my first plan but it was in the back of my mind when Angela and I started brainstorming ways to change my reputation.
All the things I did was my attempt at forgetting about Lennon. Forgetting about the color of her eyes, the sound of her laughter, the feel of her touch.
I've been in love with Lennon my entire life. Sure it started out innocent but the older we got the more I couldn't deny that Lennon Miller is my soulmate. She's the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with.
We've been apart for so long that i've pretty much forgotten all the things I used to love so much about her. I know it's going to take me a really long time to get her to forgive me.
I don't want anything from her besides a friendship, i've done too much and said too many things for her to ever be willing to cross that boundary. I understand that and as much as it hurts, I accept it.
Seeing her for the first time in that conference room took my breath away. As a kid I always imagined how Lennon would be when she grew up. Would she get taller? Would her face change to that of a woman instead of a young girl?
I wondered what Lennon's profession would be but I knew whatever she choose it would be spectacular. Everything that Lennon does has always been extraordinary since the day she was born.
Lennon is the type of person you know immediately is destined for greatness. She is kind, gentle, intelligent, and so genuine.
Throughout the past six years I sat up wondering what she would be like when we met again. I imagined she would be the same bubbly and kind Lennon I always knew.
Now when I look at her I know I was wrong to think that. She is still the most beautiful woman i've ever seen but now she carries a hint of sadness in her eyes and at the corner of her lips that I know was put there by me.
