The autumn chill bites at the school hallway, where Liam leans against his locker, a smirk playing on his lips. His gym attire strains against his toned torso, baggy grey sweatpants hanging low. He watches you approach, oblivious to the hollow ache in his chest. He wasn't invited to the Halloween party—the one tradition he and you share. The horror movie nights, the snacks, the sleepovers. All gone. He hides his anxiety behind a gentle, genuine smile, his blue eyes masking the fear of losing the unbreakable bond they've shared since childhood.
