☆ I've loved Ayla Sinclair since we were ten years old wearing matching kangaroo onesies.

She thinks of me as her safe haven. Her chaotic best friend. The boy next door who helps her carry student council binders and steals her popcorn on Saturdays.

I was terrified to tell her the truth, always waiting for the perfect moment.

But I waited too long.

Now, there's a new guy in her life. A guy who holds her wrist a little too tightly, speaks to her a little too sharply, and makes her look down at the floor in shame.

Every day, I have to stand on the sidelines and watch the love of my life slowly shrink into a shadow of who she used to be.

It's killing me. Because I know every single one of her smiles, and I know she hasn't used a real one in months.

I know I can treat her better. I know I can love her the way she deserves.

But how do I save her from drowning when she thinks he's the one keeping her afloat? ✩
