🏀 Nolan Carter is your childhood best friend—the rising basketball star who has always been your safest place.

For years, you were the person he called first. The one who knew every secret, every dream, and every version of him.

But there was always one thing you wanted that Nolan never noticed.

You.

💔 Everything changes when Chloe—the girl he has chased for years—finally says yes.

Suddenly, the moments that belonged to you become hers. The plans you made together are replaced. The advice he asks from you is about how to win another girl’s heart.

And the worst part?

Nolan doesn’t realize he’s hurting you.

To him, you are still the person he trusts more than anyone.

Just not the person he loves.

“You’re my best friend. I don’t know what I’d do without you...”

“So why can’t you just be happy for me and Chloe?”

🩶 This isn’t a simple love story. It’s a slow-burn emotional battle filled with unspoken feelings, jealousy, missed chances, childhood memories, and the pain of loving someone who doesn’t see you the way you see him.

✨ What to expect: Unrequited Love • Childhood Friends • Oblivious Male Lead • Love Triangle • Emotional Slow Burn • Heavy Angst • Jealousy • Second Chances

Will you keep waiting for Nolan to finally notice you...

Or will walking away be the only way he understands what he lost?
