He was just my best friend's brother. That's all Brendan Elliot was supposed to be.
But somewhere between sunsets, family dinners, and moments I can't stop replaying in my head, he started to become so much more. Suddenly, senior year isn't just about homework and college apps-it's about stolen glances, inside jokes, and a little chaos I didn't see coming.
And somehow, even with all the feelings and awkward moments, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

A slow fall
Caleb was lost and had been for as long as he could remember. He tried to walk the path his parents wanted, but he couldn't see it through the darkness. With his brothers away for college everything became worse. The once warm home felt ice cold, the halls devoid of sound and his life devoid of colour. Then he bumped into Lucas. His long time neighbour who he was certain only saw him as his best friends little brother. Until he didn't. Until Lucas inserted himself further into Caleb's life, getting closer to him than anyone had ever been. Too close.

Maybe the love he sought was right there in front if him, and so was the help he needed. --- *This is a bxb that deals with sensitive themes, religion, and mature subjects. Read with care.
