My rival, tracing the marks I'd left on him, cornered me. "Alex, are you really going to keep running from me for that coward?"

My childhood friend's eyes were red, his voice raw with desperation. "I messed up. Just give me one more chance."

Clutching the carefully chosen gift, my heart hammered, threatening to burst out of my chest.

It was Liam’s birthday today. My childhood friend.
