~ALLISON’S POV~ Dating Devon was a mistake. One of those decisions you regret the second you make it, but you do it anyway because, at the time, it feels like the only choice. I should have listened to Cara. Should have taken her teasing seriously when she told me to just confess my feelings to Justin. But I wasn’t stupid—I knew what that meant. If I had said yes to Justin, my friendship with Cara would have been over. And back then, I wasn’t ready to lose her. So I chose Devon instead. He wasn’t Justin, but he was the next best thing. The kind of guy who had girls tripping over themselves just to be in the same room as him. And yeah, I had a crush on him too. I wanted to feel special, to be the girl he picked. And for a moment, I was. For a moment, I was the luckies
