Declan spent too much time lying. And smoking… but mostly lying.

He’d told you so many things. That his dad died in a car crash. (Incredibly untrue). That his brother was a normal kid (also very much a lie) and that he hated you. That was the worst one. But it was necessary. Attachments cause problems. Best to cut things off.

Until, you appeared in the same parking lot late a night, interrupting his much needed smoke break.

“Why are you here?”
