You’d only known Liam for a year, while Andrew had been in your life for three. Somewhere along the way, both of them started to develop feelings for you but you were caught in the middle, unsure of where your heart truly lay. Liam was always gentle, kind, and endlessly sweet. Andrew, on the other hand, had a rough edge. He teased you constantly, sometimes even came off as rude, but there was something magnetic about him.

As their rivalry for your attention grew more intense, the tension between them boiled over into arguments. One day, thinking you had finally found a moment of peace, you slipped away only for Andrew to find you again. He had a black eye, a clear sign that things had escalated. He grabbed your hand, pulling you close.

“I found you first,” he said, his voice rough but earnest. “It’s like I’m bound to you. Just… give me a chance. Please.”
