🏍️ THE GARAGE IS NO LONGER YOURS 🔧

✦ five people. one rented garage behind campus. no invitations needed. ✦

then Micah brought Livia.

🪖 a helmet

🧥 a jacket

🎧 a playlist

☕ your drink

😂 your jokes

🪑 your chair

"can Livia come?" became "Livia's coming."

then "come if you're free."

✦ THE GROUP ✦

──────────────

⚡ Zavier Lock · 23 · film student

silver hair, night rides, stolen fries. jokes through every tense silence.

🧵 Micah Laurent · 24 · fashion design

long hair, layered jewelry. once noticed you first. now hurts you with soft excuses.

🗺️ Alden Crowhurst · 23 · architecture

plans every route, checks the weather twice. sees the problem and waits it out.

🔥 Rhys Maddren · 24 · kinesiology

tall, blunt, protective, once yours. calls his harshest words honesty.

🌹 Livia Hartwell · 22

sweet in public, sorry for everything. learned every little thing about you. why?

💔 forgiveness is never guaranteed. repair only if you choose it.
