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...

"What the hell is going on?"
Jack's voice booms through the apartment the second he walks in the door. I jump 5 feet off the couch and nearly bash my face off the coffee table as his sudden entrance scares the life out of me. Once I right myself back on the couch I turn to question him.
"I know that this is your place but please don't come in yelling like that. You scared me."
His face softens suddenly but I can still tell by his body language that he is upset and I know why. I don't care if he's mad that I wasn't blowing up his phone the entire time he was gone. I had other things to do and contrary to his belief my life doesn't revolve around him. I've been doing lots of things to help promote my book, this arrangement won't last forever so I need to take care of myself in the meantime.
Jack comes to sit down on the couch next to me. "I'm sorry that was a little excessive but I'm just worried about you. I haven't heard a peep out of you since the party, what happened?"
"Nothing happened. I've been busy promoting." I shrug my shoulders.
He tilts his head to the side. "I don't believe you."
A loud scoff escapes my lips. I've been in an awful mood today and he is toeing my very fine line. One more question and I will explode. It's not fair to him, I know that, but I can't stop the fuse when it's already lit.
"I didn't ask you to believe me, Jack. I'm sorry that I wasn't up your ass for four days, I promise you'll be okay."
I watch as his eyes cloud over in anger. Seem's like he's also in a bad mood. I can feel a fight brewing between us and as much as I don't have the energy for a fight right now maybe it's something that needs to happen. We haven't talked about anything that's bothering us.
We have been tiptoeing around the subject and I have a feeling everything's going to come out right now. "Seriously Lennon? I'm not asking you to stay in contact with me every second of the day I was just worried about you."
"Now you're worried? What about the six years you spent not giving a damn about where I was and what I was doing."
"Who said I didn't care?"
I jump to my feet as anger burns through my veins. "You never called. Never texted, never came to my house. You never talked to me or apologized. You said you didn't care, Jack. It's all in the actions and you never did a damn thing to make me think otherwise."
"I tried. You think I didn't try? I missed you every fucking day."
"They why did you do what you did in the first place? Why say all those nice things and they throw it all in my face."
