My feelings for Bennett Castro were... complicated, to say the least. Growing up, he was just like another older brother to me since he was best friends with my actual brother, Joseph. Over time, our relationship shifted from sibling-like to actual friends (along with a heart fluttering crush coming from my side); we'd stay up until the late hours of the night and talk about anything and everything. After Joey died in a car accident and Bennett left for college nearly four years ago, I felt abandoned; broken, alone, and lost. Now, Bennett is back, and he's trying to get me to open up and allow him back in my life. It's going to be a lot harder than I thought to make him realize that the Nora Thomas he lost all those years ago is a girl that will never be found again.
