Until Forever

She walked into class as the shy new girl, and from that moment, I knew my life had changed.

Abigail and Max. We just fit.

Everything about her captivated me—from her sun-kissed blonde hair to the cotton candy bubble gum she was always chewing. Somewhere between childhood memories and growing up together, my crush became something far more dangerous.

She wasn’t just my best friend.

She was my everything.

Now we’re eighteen, standing on the edge of new beginnings, and I’m done pretending she doesn’t own my heart. It’s time to tell her the truth.

But risking the best friendship I’ve ever had means risking losing her forever.

The fear is real, because not having her in my life would destroy me.

Still, I’d rather gamble everything than spend the rest of my life wondering what could’ve been.
