Ever since their earliest memories, Tyler and Dakota have stood as inseparable best friends, despite a small two-year age difference between them. However, when Tyler makes an unexpected decision to join the military, leaving Dakota behind, it poses a challenge to a bond he vowed never to break. The question arises: will this distance test their friendship to the point of no return, or can they mend what's been severed? Upon Ty's return, Dakota finds herself in a dire situation. Can the resilient Ty step up to protect and support his cherished friend, or will their friendship forever be marred by this separation? This heart-wrenching tale was originally written by Kenzie Elaine in the Wattys13 contest of 2013.
