A different circumstance

"Our love wasn't real.. wasn't right," I brought my gaze to the ground, "At least back then it wasn't."

"I loved who I knew you'd turn into" he forced out. This shouldn't be happening. This conversation, this summer, this.. this.. just this, "The relationships we were tied to, the situation.. it was never supposed to happen." It broke my heart to say it to him, but the tears flooding his water line tell me that it hurt him to hear it. For a few seconds there was nothing but lingering silence; I itched for a reply back -for a comment followed by a voice crack- but nothing. I turned to grab the taxi handle.

"It's different now." The string of words left his trembling lips like a breath of air; I barely heard it, but I heard it. I pulled on the taxi door, stepped in, and didn't look back.

He's right; it is different now, but that doesn't mean that the consequences had changed.

The summer before college seems like the best time to explore the big city .. at least that's what Kennedy was thinking. Her friend, Tegan, suggests crashing with her sister and her fiance instead of staying at a hotel for the summer. Entering New York, Ken' finds herself in a nasty situation when finds out that her friend's sister shares a bedroom with her past. Cass's fiance, Carson, being Ken's childhood protector brings tension throughout the whole trip. Nothing was ever more than pure friendship with Carson and Ken', but now older, and in the same place, they both realize the different circumstances.
