Willow has just one rule:
Must. Always. Hate. Dane.
She grew up with Dane Wainsworth, just as her brother. He's her brother's bestfriend. And she hates him. He's annoying, arrogant and way too confident.
But that's not what she writes in her diary...

I walk down the stairs.
My Insta notifications are low, so I take the time to look at them. But before I'm even downstairs, my phone is laying on the ground. I gasp and run down.
There's a burst in the screen, almost as big as the whole phone. I glare at Dane, who slapped it out of my hand. "Oh, you're going to pay for this."
I narrow my eyes when he raises an eyebrow. "Why would I? You didn't pay for my phone," he shrugs and walks to the dinner room.
Asshole.
I exhale, trying to clam my anger. What is he even doing here?
Jack walks down the stairs and I turn around, glaring at him. He sighs. "What did Dane do? Oh man, I said he had to behave himself," he groans. I show him my screen.
"I've never had a burst in my screen, I'm always careful to not let it fall. He's gonna pay," I say and Jack shrugs. "Willow, I can't tell him to pay. You're a big girl, you'll figure it out."
He walks to the dinner room. What? He chooses... Dane's side? I run back upstairs, slamming my door.
He never chose Dane's side.
I unlock my nightstand and pick up my diary. I wipe the tears on my cheeks away and start writing in it.
Sweet diary,
it happened. Jack chose Dane's side. I'm officially alone.
Jack was my best friend, but not anymore. Dane took him from me. All I have left is Delilah.
How can I fix this?
Being nice to Dane? If he likes me, maybe I can join their friend group. I'll try
Willow
I lock it back up in my nightstand and run downstairs, skipping breakfast. Mom smiles at me. "Excited for school?" she asks and I shrug.
"Love you!" I tell her, after which I give her a kiss. I look around, searching Dad. "Where is he?" She smiles apologetic. "Sorry, honey. He had an emergency in the hospital," she says and I nod. "Tell him I love him when he comes home, okay?"
She nods and I walk to my bike. My tyres. They were perfect yesterday, how...?
Then, I see it. A knife next to my my bike. I feel tears behind my eyes, but ignore them. He's not worth them.
I hear a honk and jump up. Dane's Jeep. I slightly shake my head. No way in hell I'm going in that car. Jack's head appears from the back seat. "Willow! Come on!"
He knew. He knew Dane was planning on doing that.
I sigh and walk over to the freaking Jeep. I want to open the door to the back seat, but Jack locks it. My eyes widen.
