When Apollo's mom let him know that Nicolas would have to fly from Vermont to California and spend the entire summer in their house, Apollo knew he was doomed. What he didn't account for was how utterly life changing their new friendship would become. 🌊🌊🌊 90,880 words Some content may be upsetting to certain readers!
