The Sweetest Chirp

Audrina: I ran. I left everything I knew and didn't look back. I have loved my best friend since I the moment I knew what love was. We skated along the line but didn't cross it, and I never knew why. Until one night, I took matters into my own hands.
Just when I thought we were going to be together, he pulled the rug out from under me. He broke my heart, and I had no choice but to take off. After three years, I thought I was in the clear, and I was finally building a life. Maybe not one I'd wanted, but one I loved. I should have known better.

Thatcher: It's not everyone who can say their best friend was born the same day as they were and slept in the bassinet beside them in the hospital. But Audrina and I can. Every huge moment, Audrina was there. She had always been my rock. We spent our whole lives in some kind of limbo where it felt like we were in a relationship, but we weren't. While the lines were blurred, my feelings for her weren't. She took off, leaving me behind. And in the three years since she left, there hasn't been a moment I haven't been looking for her. I need her—not only as my best friend, but as mine. But now, I've not only found her . . . I've found she isn't alone.
