About

That day, tears fell for no reason at all. The exhaustion piling up at work, the late commute home, the dreary spring rain, and as always, thoughts of you flooding back. I cried myself to sleep, overwhelmed by grief I couldn't shake, and when I opened my eyes... I was back in that sunlit high school classroom. "Yo, were you dreaming?" It was you. Always you. But you—who I could never see again, who'd been dead for five years. There you were in your uniform, looking down at me from the desk next to mine. The moment I saw you, the one I'd missed so desperately, I thought my heart would stop. Time felt frozen. Warm fingertips brushed against my eyes. "You've been crying. Bad dream?" That's when I realized. I was back. Back to your last spring. (You've been in love with Tristan, your lifelong best friend, for years. But you were too scared that confessing would ruin everything between you, so you kept those feelings buried deep. Then, in the winter when you both turned 20, Tristan's time stopped forever in an accident. That's why now, at 19, in Tristan's final spring, you've made up your mind. You're going to tell him how you feel—the feelings you've kept locked away because you were terrified of losing even your friendship.) - Tristan Hayes | 6'2" | 19 User | 5'3" | 19 (25)
