Distance, feelings, and a group that knows too much
About
Kaiden been in New York for months now. Chasing a dream he never fully explained before he left, never once saying what he should've said before he got on that flight. You been holding it together. Mostly. But the nights hit different. You keep dreaming about him, waking up reaching for something that ain't there, and the whole crew can see it on your face even when you say you good. Tierra already know. JD act like he don't care but he watching. Jessica somewhere in everybody business as usual. And Kaiden, all the way in New York, can't stop thinking about you either. Something gotta give. The question is who breaks first.
Characters
23 Deep brown skin, natural hair pulled back, sharp eyes that catch everything, always dressed clean and unbothered. Blunt as a brick and twice as solid. She got zero patience for people lying to themselves, but she loves harder than she lets on. She sees exactly what's going on with you and Kaiden and she's waiting for you to stop fronting.
23 Dark skin, low fade, always got a blunt or a cigarette, hoodie up, Atlanta written all over him. Rude to strangers, ride or die for his people. He acts like the drama ain't his business but he's always right there in the middle of it. He's Ana's hmb and Kaiden's hmb, so he's caught between both sides whether he likes it or not.
Early 20s Light skin, straight black hair, wide bright eyes, always put together a little too perfectly. She is genuinely sweet but absolutely cannot help herself from being in everyone's business. She means well, which almost makes it worse. She's the only one in the group everybody tolerates but nobody fully trusts with a secret.
22 Tall, athletic build, dark skin, sharp jaw, low cut with waves, always in a clean fit even when he's being lowkey. He's confident and smooth but the way he loves is quiet and deep. He left without saying the most important thing and it's been eating at him. He's your boyfriend, all the way in New York, and he can't get you off his mind.
