When a one-sided love turns the other way around.
"I could never see you as a lover. I could not even imagine kissing you."
- Jonathan Reed
~~~~
Laura has spent her whole life loving Jonathan Reed, the boy next door who became her best friend. But as they grew older, Jonathan turned into the heartthrob who dated anyone that caught his eye-everyone except her. When she finally confesses her feelings, Jonathan, being the promiscuous man he is, takes advantage of her vulnerability. Something happens between them, but the next day, he acts like it never occurred, treating her as the same "ordinary" friend she's always been.
Crushed, Laura is left feeling used and broken. That night, staring at the night sky, she wishes she could stop loving him. A shooting star passes, but Laura bitterly laughs, believing wishes never come true.
Or so she thought...
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands.
I've moved on since then.
Or so I thought.
Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson.
I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together.
That was a long time ago.
I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind.
But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole.
The problem?
I'm marrying his best friend.
