"We Were Almost Something"
They grew up side by side-bare feet on sun-warmed pavement, fingers brushing in the dark, laughter echoing in backyards and bedrooms.
Max and Lena were best friends. Until they weren't.
Now, years later, a quiet reunion cracks open everything they buried. Through tender flashbacks and lingering silences, this is a story of everything they felt but never said, of love that lived in the spaces between words.
Because sometimes the hardest part isn't losing someone-it's wondering what would've happened if you had just told them the truth.
TW!!
mentions of grief, depression, emotional neglect, anxiety, parental divorce, abandonment, heartbreak, loneliness, and suppressed emotions.
We're not together. But we're not just friends either.
Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups.
They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations.
So they kept it simple.
No labels. No promises.
Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something.
But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart.
A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.
