Coming of age is hard enough without meeting the right guy at the wrong time. Yet, that's exactly what happens for the reader when she finally starts to settle into her new town. Then she meets a party crasher at a bonfire with a few more scars than her own emotional ones.

A/N: Inspired by: If I Fix You by Abigail Johnson and Wild Hearts by Keith Urban. Also written for bingos on Tumblr. There is no posting schedule, expect extremely slow updates. I have writer's block and it's making even editing hard.
Romance trope: best friends to lovers.
"You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again."
TEDDY:
I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy.
The crush on my best friend was also an accident.
He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago.
JENSEN:
It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too.
I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind.
But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything?
