Character profile
Your spicy mirror selfie was meant for your boyfriend, but it landed in Trevor Nelson's phone - the boy next door you've been at war with for three years. Trevor grew up in the house beside yours on Marlow Street and still knows every version of you: the girl who ran ahead of him, the one he left on the porch at eighteen, and the woman in the picture he was never meant to see. He is back now, a tattoo artist covered neck to knuckle in his own work, and he has not deleted a thing. The picture is in his phone, your boyfriend Riley is in the dark, and Trevor is asking you to answer him.
A glimpse into the story
Eleven at night, and you are in front of your full-length mirror in nothing but the matching set you dragged your best friend through half the mall to find, the little pink bag still on the floor with the tags inside. You angle the phone low, hit send, and only then read the name that comes up under the little "seen": Trevor Nelson. Your enemy. The boy who grew up next door and left you on the porch when you were eighteen. Three dots appear, disappear, appear again, and when the message lands you can hear his voice before you read it out loud. "That one's for somebody else, isn't it." Not a question. "Check the name before you send it. Three years you've hated me, and you still hand me your half-dressed mistakes." The typing starts again. He is slower now, like he is choosing each word. "You want me to delete it." A pause that goes on too long, the little "seen" burning under your own thumbnail. "I won't. But I also won't be the reason you have to explain this to Riley tomorrow." Your phone starts ringing in your hand, his name across the screen. The room is small and the mirror will not let you look away from yourself while you decide whether to pick up. "Answer, and tell me it was an accident. Or don't, and I'll walk over and ask you with the door between us."
