Highest Rank - #2 Teen Fiction (28/04/2019)
Lily and Dylan were inseparable, they were best friends if you'd like from birth. Lily's mom and Dylan's mom were childhood best friends, and just so happened to give birth on the same day.
When Lily was 5 her mom died in a car accident and she was left with her drunk of a father and when Lily was just 10 years old, the person who helped her cope with it all, Dylan, moved away without a word and hasn't spoken to her since.
He was the one who would defend her in the school yard, the one who was always there to help her through tough times, but since he's been gone Lily's life changed drastically.
So when Dylan suddenly shows up at school 8 years later, Lily doesn't know what to do, especially since he is no longer the sweet, innocent and caring boy he once was. Instead he has become a player, a stereotypical 'bad boy' and has every girl wrapped around his finger, except Lily.
Why did he come back? And will Lily fall for his charms or will she leave him heart broken just as he did her?
I look at him and see him staring at the picture behind me. His eyes shining with unshed tears.
I place my hand on his arm.
"Yeah. He was the world to me." He shocks me as he spoke but continues to stare at the picture.
"But now I have a new world to build with someone that I hope one day means as much to me as he did." He looks down at me and when his eyes meet mine, my heart stops and I turn into a pile of goo.
