Fix You - Buddy Aldridge (COMPLETE)

Ask anyone at Rydell High: Buddy is the golden boy who can do no wrong. Ask any of the Pink Ladies: Buddy is the devil incarnate. Ask Delia: Buddy is just a scared boy with an asshole for a father.

Delia and Buddy have been inseparable since childhood, their bond an unshakable constant in their lives. But when high school rolls around, their worlds take drastically different turns. Buddy, with his easy charm and athletic prowess, quickly ascends to the top of the social ladder, while Delia finds her niche among the quirky, tight-knit theater crowd-- an identity Buddy's new world barely tolerates.

Though they try to keep their friendship alive, their time together is rare and filled with unspoken tension. Delia sees through Buddy's facade and recognizes how much pressure he faces to meet his overbearing father's expectations. Beneath his confident exterior lies someone struggling to be himself, and Delia quietly vows to stay in his corner, even as their paths seem to diverge.

When a scandal rocks Buddy's life, causing his social standing to collapse and leaving him isolated, Delia steps in to support him without hesitation. Together, they navigate the fallout, rediscovering the deep connection they've always shared. As Buddy learns to embrace his true self, their friendship evolves into a heartfelt and healing romance, proving that the strongest bonds can weather any storm.

Fix You is a emotional coming-of-age story set in the 50s about loyalty, self-discovery, and the enduring power of love and friendship.
