Never Meant To Stay (Angst, happy ending)

Rafe Cameron and Lillian used to be inseparable-attached at the hip, unbreakable.
Then Rafe made choices to please his father. Stupid choices. Ones that tore them apart.

Now Lillian is seventeen. Rafe is nineteen. He's rich, untouchable, a magnet for attention-and completely alone in ways no one seems to understand. He copes the only way he knows how. Back then, she was the only thing that kept him sane. The only person he ever loved. The only place he ever felt loved.

Now they barely speak.
Just stolen glances at parties.
Lingering eye contact.
A quiet hey here and there.

She never really understood how alone he was-
until the night Rafe finally approaches her as she sits alone on the staircase, and his world begins to unravel.

Angst, happy ending,
