Bri starts to question everything relating to Jessie during her final year of college, and boy does it get heated. Brielle Quinne starts to falter in the relationship, not trusting her new undefined feelings. The day that should be a romantic one for Brielle and Jessie, isn't- but more intimate for a certain best friend and Brielle. But what if Brielle and Luke's little stunt isn't the problem - what if the problem was Jessie all along? Will Luke ever get the girl he has been pining for since Freshman year? ~*~ So like- this story may (to some) contain vulgar language and some sexual scenes. In no shape or any form are those sexual scenes meant to do anything but further enhance character relations- not reader ones. The language may get bad at some point- but not to the point of the average american words. ~*~ Undergoing major editing. Read the first part for more info!
