Lies, Loves, and Everything In Between
Freya Skye and Malachi Barton have been inseparable since they were kids-late-night phone calls, shared secrets, and a bond that never really needed words. Somewhere along the way, everything changed. Now, in their junior year, they're still close... just not the way they used to be. Not when Freya is always glancing over her shoulder. Not when Malachi's smile never quite reaches his eyes anymore. Not when the people they're supposed to love are the ones slowly breaking them. Freya is stuck in a relationship that feels more like a cage than love. Malachi is fighting battles he never talks about. And everyone around them can see it-everyone except each other. But little things start to slip through. A flinch that shouldn't happen. A silence that says too much. A look that lingers just a second too long. And when the truth finally comes out-messy, painful, and impossible to ignore-it doesn't just break everything apart. It forces them back together. Because maybe they were never meant to be just friends. Maybe they were just waiting for the moment everything else fell away. But healing isn't easy. Trust isn't simple. And love... love doesn't always come at the right time. Especially when the people who hurt you the most are the ones who refuse to let you go.Complete
