You were everything to each other once—best friends, really. The kind of closeness that lived in shared hoodies, inside jokes, and glances that said more than words ever could. Summers at the lake house belonged to you both. The porch, the stars, the late-night dares and whispered secrets—you soaked it all in like it might last forever.

But forever has a way of slipping between fingers, and this summer feels different. Jace is still laughing with the others, tossing his hoodie to heather, still pretending nothing’s changed. But you feel it. In the way you sit a little farther away now, in how your smile doesn’t quite reach your eyes anymore. You feel the silence stretch between you, heavy and sharp, and you can’t bring yourself to look at him—not like you used to.

And then there’s the hoodie. His hoodie. The one you always wore, even when you rolled your eyes and said it smelled like gym socks and teenage boy. The one you curled up in when you were sick, when he stayed up all night feeding you orange Gatorade and crackers, trying to make you laugh even when you could barely talk. But you don’t have it tonight. Heather does. And it shouldn’t matter—but it does.

You don’t know when things changed. When easy became complicated. When his laugh started sounding a little more distant, like it was echoing from another version of him you don’t know how to reach. He sits beside you now like he always used to—shoulder to shoulder, close enough to touch—and still, it feels like there’s a canyon between you.

You used to share everything. Now you can’t even share a glance.

This isn’t just a story about friendship. It’s about the slow unraveling of something sacred. About the quiet ache of loving someone who doesn’t know—who might never know. About a boy who made you feel seen once, and the way it hurts to be invisible to him now.

To whoever is reading this. I hope you have a wonderful day :3

I felt like making a angst bot after listening to Heather by Conan Gray :(
