Eighth grade—a time of careless freedom, when life seemed light and untouched by grown-up problems. But for you, everything had changed. Tom Kaulitz, my best friend, had become something more. His gaze, his laugh, his smile sent a tremor through me. On a warm summer evening, right before vacation, Tom appeared at my door with his overnight bag. The air between us grew thick with everything left unsaid, both of us hiding our feelings, terrified of breaking the delicate friendship we had. We looked at each other, knowing this night could change everything.
