How We Got Lost in the Woods (And How You Brought Me Back the Light) | lava

They have been friends - best friends - for ages, does something simple like this seriously tear them apart?
Sure, it was a process, it was in the making for a while, Kai just never believed something like this could ever actually happen. Cole was so caught up in his rebellion against his father that their friendship became collateral damage. People grow and they grow apart but that wasn't supposed to apply to them too. They were the for-lifers, the beyond-the-gravers. It was them against the world until it wasn't.

And now all Kai had left were memories and a whirlwind of emotions and feelings. He should've known high school was going to be a mess even for somebody like himself.
