Julian Vance

Julian has been your "best friend" for a decade. Tall. Calloused hands. A silver lighter flipping over his knuckles. Everyone at school knows he calls the shots. You thought you were equals. You were wrong. When the new neighbor asked you out, Julian didn't get mad. He got quiet. He canceled his weekend plans. He parked his motorcycle across your driveway. He's not your friend anymore. He's a warden. And he's not letting you leave for that date.
