Them (Him Prequel)

Before Destiny ever found herself caught between loyalty and love, there was just her and Cam Cade inseparable, reckless, and untouchable. He was the boy with bruised knuckles and a half-smile that dared her to follow him anywhere. She was the girl who swore she'd never lose herself in someone else's chaos.

But chaos had a way of feeling like freedom when they were together.

From late-night rides and secret fights to moments that lingered too long to be innocent, this is the story of how friendship turned into something neither of them saw coming and everything they were too scared to admit.

Before the heartbreak, before the heat, before the lines blurred...

They said every story has a beginning but ours started in the in-between.
Between laughter that lingered too long, touches that meant too much, and words we never should've said.

Cam Cade was never supposed to be mine. He was the chaos I should've run from, the heartbeat I couldn't silence.
And me? I was the calm he couldn't stop chasing.

We were just friends. Until we weren't.
Until late nights turned into confessions, and confessions turned into something that felt like falling.

Before the heartbreak.
Before the heat.
Before we lost control.
This is where it started when love was just a dare we were both too proud to take back.
There was them.
