Forever and Always (FIRST DRAFT)
Lucy Collins has loved Parker Keller for as long as she can remember. Her best friend since childhood, her partner in crime, her almost-until he wasn't. One moment, he was hers in every way that mattered, and the next, he was gone. Cold. Distant. The boy who once knew all her secrets became a stranger overnight, leaving her with nothing but unanswered questions and a heart that refused to let go. Now, senior year is slipping through her fingers, and Parker is still the same reckless, untouchable heartbreaker he became after he cut her off. But old habits are hard to break, and despite everything, their lives keep colliding-through stolen glances across their bedroom windows, lingering touches that shouldn't mean anything, and memories neither of them can outrun. Then there's Jeremiah Hayes. Steady. Uncomplicated. A new presence in Lucy's life when she least expects it. He doesn't push, doesn't demand. He just listens. And for the first time in a long time, Lucy wonders if maybe-just maybe-there's another path forward. But love isn't simple. And moving on is never as easy as it sounds. Characters are 18+Complete
