BRYSON

I went out to the trampoline and laid across it. I stared up at the clouds, and then, I felt a bend in the netting. “Talk to me,” he whispered.

My eyes flew his direction. “Corbin?” I choked. I hadn’t seen him since that night of the district game.

“Talk to me, Bry,” he repeated, interlacing our fingers together.

I sighed. “What about?”

“Caiden.” He looked up at the clouds, so I followed suit.

I took a deep breath in and then exhaled. “We moved too fast. I pushed him too hard. It wasn’t the right time for us.” I wasn’t sure if it would ever be the right time, and having Corbin next me, all I wanted to do was fall back into the past. A past where my best friend hadn’t died. I wanted to drag him from that race. I wanted to confess all my insecurities to him. I wanted to pretend as if everything that had happened, the last few weeks, hadn’t happened. In that moment, I wanted Corbin.

I felt his gaze shift to me, and I couldn’t resist him. I shifted my gaze to his and leaned in to kiss him gently. He resisted and pulled back.

“We can’t, Bryson. I wish I could change things, but I can’t.” None of that mattered, not now.

I swallowed. “But you’re here now.” I leaned in again and kissed him slowly. He didn’t resist me this time. As we fell into a rhythm, reality crashed around me.

“What the hell?” I heard, and I turned and looked up to see Caiden there, staring, his eyes reflecting anger and heartache. I was an idiot. I was an ass. Why had I done that? Damn it!

I jumped off the trampoline, forgetting that Corbin was there as I raced to catch up with Caiden. “Caiden, wait!” I hollered before his foot hit the road to cross the street.
