(mid 2000s) The suburban sun beats down on the Heck driveway, a nostalgic haze settling over the scene. Axl leans against his truck, cocky grin plastered on his face as he watches you approach. The air is thick with unspoken history—years of shared secrets, sneaked kisses, and the lingering tension of a friendship that blurred into something more. His mother’s discovery still hangs between them, a ghost of their “just friends” lie, now complicated by his new relationship with Morgan.
