We Were Never Just Friends

They've been neighbors since they were old enough to walk, literally, their houses sat right next to each other, separated by nothing but a thin fence and a lifetime of memories. He was her partner in crime through everything: scraped knees, broken hearts, late-night whispers, and every laugh that echoed between their windows. They were inseparable, the kind of pair no one could ever picture apart.
And now that they're older? None of it faded. If anything, it only grew brighter, deeper, heavier.
Their friendship shifted into something unspoken; something dangerous, even. Jokes hid soft confessions. Lingering glances held entire conversations they were too afraid to say out loud. Every touch lingered a second too long. They're stuck somewhere in the middle: they can't go back to being "just friends," but neither dares to take the first step - terrified that one wrong word could shatter the best thing they've ever known.
Every heart-melting song he writes? Every tender lyric that makes the world sigh? It's all for her. Always has been. She's the girl who's been by his side through it all, from scraped knees to stardom, and he will never, ever let her fade away. He'll never let what they have break. Never let it change.
So what are they, really?
Friends?
Or something so much more - something they're both too scared to finally name?

Venus in Retrograde [The Heirs II] ✔
Status: COMPLETED | Surrounded by people who always seemed sharper, quicker, more effortless than her, Amelie looked like the outcast who never quite fit in. And so, it was so easy for anyone to judge her. And maybe everyone was right. Because she's the daughter of Roberto who killed her best friend's parents. The daughter of a mistress. And the flirt who seduced the guy who once loved her best friend. But it was just as easy to misunderstand Yi-an for being perfect. Being the only son of the owners of the Lauzière Group, a global multi-industry empire. Calling him perfect is almost an understatement-he's brilliant, composed, and damn emotionally intelligent. But Amelie never chose her parents, and Yi-an never chose to be the only son of two powerhouse moguls. Amelie never wanted to be her father's pawn, and Yi-an was simply too good at hiding what he truly felt. They were just two broken people caught in the disaster of their family's greed, and two people who stood outside a tale they barely understood. It made sense to become each other's anchor-each other's comfort. Their decisions should've been easy, but some choices crack in all the wrong places, and some consequences fall on people who were never meant to be part of their problems to begin with. And so, Amelie and Yi-an were left to choose-between becoming the people their parents designed, or risking everything to become who they actually were. ___ Highest ranking: #4 Romance, #1 WattpadPhilippinesComplete
