Instead of just complaining, the BFFS decided to take action. They spent the entire day working together. Remi designed the new layout, Jones organized the planting, Hazel Heart went door-to-door to collect donated seeds, and Riley kept everyone's spirits high with jokes and quick work.
If you ask us about that night now, we’d probably laugh, then fall quiet for a beat as the recollection settles. We were young in a way that wasn’t about age so much as possibility — the delicious dangerous feeling that the future can still be bent by choices and by the people who stay by your side while you make them. August 25th didn’t fix our problems or promise anything tidy; it only reminded us of an enduring truth: when life unravels or explodes, having five people who’ll sit with you on a pier buys you time to breathe and the courage to start again.
