Alec Murray.
He was the one. From the first moment I saw him, I knew. I had never been more certain of anything in my sixteen years on this earth.
But Alec didn't notice me. At least not in the way that I wanted him to. He noticed my best friend instead.
I stood by and watched their relationship blossom. An outsider looking in, wishing things were different. Torn between my loyalty to my best friend and the boy who had unknowingly stolen my heart.
Weighted by feelings I could never express out loud, I wrote them all down. Every thought. Every feeling. I poured them all into a letter. A letter he was never meant to read.
Only that's exactly what he did. He read it. Every single word. But by then it was too late.
Even if he was no longer dating my best friend. Even if I was more in love with him than ever. He was leaving. I was leaving. And there was nothing either of us could do to change it.
Alec Murray was my almost fairytale. The happy ending I swore I'd never get.
But our story is far from over...
