always ours (poly)

always ours...

Angelina, Elijah, and I-inseparable since childhood. But while they were perfect together, but I was always the odd one out if you couldn't tell. Angelina, the cheerleader with the bright smile, and Elijah, the charming football star. And then there was me-Estella, the shy, awkward girl with orange hair and oversized glasses, they were literally the perfect couple like in the movies .

But I had a secret. I had always loved them both, even though I knew I couldn't have them they only see me as their best friends i wasn't even their type.

Graduation night, I was finally ready to confess my love for them, before I left for New York. I wrote the letter, trembling with every word. But I never got the chance to speak. At the farewell party, Jason, a football player, got me drunk, and in my haze, he found the letter and read it aloud in front of everyone. My heart shattered as I watched Elijah and Angelina's shocked faces. I ran, the tears falling faster than I could stop them, and told them to leave me alone.

The next morning, I was gone. New York was my escape, but the love I left behind haunted me every day.

Five years later...

A message from Elijah. And Angelina. They're together now-and they want to reconnect and our childhood cabin in Alaska before the owner sell it. I don't know if I'm ready to face them, but part of me still wants to know if anything could ever be different.
