Dawn’s Point of View

"There she is." LJ's voice comes from behind me, and I turn to find her already grinning, Andrea trailing a step behind with a bouquet he's clearly been holding onto since the ceremony started.

"Congrats, D." Andrea pulls me into a one-armed hug, careful not to crush the flowers between us.

"Thank you for actually showing up," I tell him. "LJ mentioned you weren't sure your schedule would work out."

"Wouldn't have missed it." He glances toward Killian, still surrounded by f

  • Falling For My Best Friend's Brother   Epilogue

    Dawn’s point of viewI forgot how cold Boston can get. I'm practically freezing by the time I make my way toward the family, arms wrapped tight around myself despite the coat I layered on specifically for tonight. I've been here plenty of times before, always sitting out in the general crowd, especially in Center Oice where the sightlines are supposedly the best in the whole arena. But Killian, being Killian, insisted today I sit in the family box instead, and honestly, I don't hate it, even though I usually love the chaos and noise of the regular crowd sections.So tonight I'm tucked into the family box alongside Damian and a heavily pregnant Bree, plus LJ and my mom, who has somehow become Killian's single biggest cheerleader over the past couple of years. She wears his jersey to every single game she can make it to, shows up more consistently than I sometimes manage myself, though in her defense, I still have one more year left before I graduate from Princeton, and my schedule doe

    Dawn’s Point of View"There she is." LJ's voice comes from behind me, and I turn to find her already grinning, Andrea trailing a step behind with a bouquet he's clearly been holding onto since the ceremony started."Congrats, D." Andrea pulls me into a one-armed hug, careful not to crush the flowers between us."Thank you for actually showing up," I tell him. "LJ mentioned you weren't sure your schedule would work out.""Wouldn't have missed it." He glances toward Killian, still surrounded by fans a few yards away. "Looks like he's a little busy.""He's always a little busy these days.""Get used to it," LJ says, looping her arm through mine. "This is basically your whole future now. Fame-adjacent chaos, forever.""Lucky me.""Could be worse. At least he's easy on the eyes while he does it," she adds, and I swat her arm, laughing.Eventually Killian manages to extract himself from the crowd, jogging back over with an apologetic look already plastered on his face."Sorry, sorry, I know

  • Falling For My Best Friend's Brother   Chapter 122

    Dawn’s Point of ViewI'm so nervous sitting on the edge of my seat that I can barely keep still. I scan the crowd, hoping to spot my mother somewhere in the sea of faces, but she's nowhere to be found. I don't bother looking for my dad at all anymore, not after everything I learned about what he actually did to her.I used to blame her for so much of what went wrong in that marriage, but once I found out what she'd really had to endure behind closed doors, I don't think I could ever forgive him for pushing her that far without a single thought for what it did to her."Hey," I whisper to LJ, sitting beside me, then glance at Hazel on her other side, who's absentmindedly rubbing her rounded belly. When her name gets called, she walks across the stage to the loudest cheer in the entire arena, courtesy of none other than Devon, who, surprisingly enough, turned out to be the father of her baby.Turns out the two of them had been hooking up quietly every time he came through to visit, and w

  • Falling For My Best Friend's Brother   Chapter 121

    Dawn’s point of viewI have never run as fast in my entire life as I just ran through that airport toward Killian. For once, I actually chose myself. I wasn't going to sit around waiting for someone else to decide my future for me anymore. I was shocked to find Andrea and Devon already waiting outside my dorm the second I was ready to leave, both of them practically shoving me into Andrea's car before I could even finish tying my shoes.That's why I ended up sprinting barefoot through security, shoes abandoned somewhere behind me on the terminal floor, running as fast as my own two feet could physically carry me toward him.I found him. And right now, he's holding me like he never intends to let go again.I sniffle back another wave of tears as he cups my face in both hands, gently wiping away the ones already falling. I'd been crying partly from relief, partly from the sheer terror that if he'd actually gotten on that plane, he would have spent the entire flight believing I never cho

  • Falling For My Best Friend's Brother   Chapter 120

    Killian’s point of viewMy leg won't stop bouncing as I stare up at the boarding screen. I don't even know why I'm still sitting here, honestly. They've already called final boarding for my flight, and I keep hoping, stupidly, irrationally, that she'll show up anyway. That she didn't give up on us for good.I check my watch again. Only a few minutes left before the gate closes. When the final call echoes over the intercom, I finally push myself up out of the chair, grab my carry-on, and start making my way toward the door like my legs belong to someone else.She didn't come. She didn't want this. Didn't want me, not enough to chase after it.I slide my sunglasses on, more to hide behind than anything, because it hurts more than I expected it to, knowing she didn't choose me in the end. Even my own mother had texted me something vague and hopeful an hour ago, something about giving it time, and I'd let myself believe it might actually mean something.The guys had dropped me off earlier

  • Falling For My Best Friend's Brother   Chapter 119

    Dawn’s Point of View"Was that Killian?" LJ asks the second I walk back into our room, still standing frozen by the door with my keys clutched too tightly in one hand.I just nod, dropping onto my bed like my legs have finally decided they're done holding me up for the day.She asks what happened, voice already softening with concern, and I tell her everything. Damian. The rooftop. The way his hands felt closing around my wrists before Killian pulled him off me. The creek afterward, the sweater, the confession, all of it spilling out of me in a jumbled rush that doesn't come close to doing justice to how it actually felt living through it.She's stunned by the time I finish, sitting cross-legged on her own bed with her mouth slightly open. "I was not expecting any of that. Any of it.""Yeah, well. Neither was I."We sit with it for a while, the weight of the last twenty-four hours settling heavily in the small room between us, and eventually she asks, gently, if I ever got the chance

  • Falling For My Best Friend's Brother   Chapter 1

    Dawn's Point of ViewI have made plenty of bad decisions in my life. Getting wasted the night before an exam. Skipping class to get high because my best friend Damian asked me to. Poor choices, all of them, but ones with which I could live.Coming to this party, though, is the second-worst decision

    Dawn’s Point of View“I know some guys who would be interested in you, if you’re that desperate,” Bree offers pleasantly.“Bree—”“What, babe? I am genuinely tired of hearing her name. She was your friend, fine, people move on. You don’t owe her anything. You literally told me she was annoying.” He

    Dawn’s Point of ViewI have cried. I have stared at the ceiling. I have told myself repeatedly that I need to go to class, and eventually I listen, forcing myself up and into the bathroom to put on enough makeup to bury the evidence under my eyes.Damian tried yesterday. He stayed outside my door f

    Dawn’s Point of View“Let go of me, Killian.”He does not let go.I try to yank my arm free, but he pulls me closer instead, and I am forced to tilt my head back just to look at him.“Please, Kill. I didn’t...” I start, but he presses a single finger to my lips, and my heart does something it has n
