AURELIA ALVAREZ has been best friends with Eddie Diaz since birth. With their mothers being close, Lia and Eddie grew up knowing just about everything about the other, but there was always one thing Eddie didn't know about Lia, and that was that, since the age of fourteen, she's been hopelessly in love with him. But he, at the same age, met another, and years later, when reunited, Lia watched from the sidelines as her best friend married a woman she cares for, but also a woman she's envious of. Even when he became a father at nineteen, Lia's feelings never changed, but she always remained at his side, always remaining his "best friend". She was there when his wife left, when his son was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, when he was in the army, when he struggled to make ends meet, and was even there when he makes a decision to move to Los Angeles. Taking a job at LA County Hospital as a nurse, supporting her best friend in his decision and journey to move, she consequently puts herself in a far worse position, her feelings only growing stronger the more time she spends with him, the more time she takes care of his son, and the more time she gets lost in this idea of hope. After all, he'd never, ever feel the same about her, not when his heart belongs to somebody else. ( eddie diaz x fem!o.c ) ( best friends to lovers ) ( 9-1-1 seasons 2 - ? ) © 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

"Because I don't want to make it harder for her. Because I don't want to be the thing that complicates her life. Because I know what it's like to carry something quietly and not know where to put it. So I settle. I settle with distance. With silence. With pretending that the absence of her name in my mouth means the absence of her in my head. Because it's my brothers girlfriend of a few years."

One night can change the map of a life forever. At sixteen, Kai Anderson had it all: the salt-air breeze of Galveston, a spot on the varsity line-up, and a girl like Sloane on his arm. As the son of two of Texas's most elite doctors, his future felt guaranteed. But when a sudden fever spirals into bacterial meningitis, the world goes dark. He wakes up to a devastating reality-a spinal cord stroke has left him paralyzed from the waist down. Suddenly, the "perfect" life Kai knew is gone. Sloane is nowhere to be found, unable to handle a boyfriend who can't walk. His parents, brilliant in the OR, are helpless at home. And Kai is left navigating a world that suddenly feels built for everyone but him. But as the Texas heat fades into a long winter of rehab, a new connection flickers to life. Caitlin, the girl from his childhood who has spent years managing her own invisible battle with Type 1 Diabetes, refuses to let him disappear. She doesn't see a patient; she sees the boy she's loved in secret for years. Now seventeen and facing a May that looks nothing like he imagined, Kai must decide if he'll stay trapped behind the lines of his "before" life, or if he'll let Caitlin show him that strength isn't about standing up-it's about who stands by you when everything else falls away.
