Johnny and Alyssa - friends to lovers, accidental pregnancy, TW: rape. very emotional read.
Alyssa lives with her single mother who keeps moving her from town to town. This time they move from California to Georgia where she meets John, Jace, and eventually Ford (three best friends). They are determined to show her how to have fun and let loose. Along the way, John and Alyssa become more than friends, entering the friends with benefits zone. One night after college semester ended, there was a party which led to an accident that didn’t end so well. John and Alyssa were pretty shaken afterwards, as witnessing the accident, and should have leaned on each other, but instead John was pushing her away. Alyssa didn’t have anyone else to turn to and Ben (now Chad) from work consoled her and made her have fun again. John on the other hand just up and left, going to boot camp without telling anyone other than his family. After boot camp graduation, he comes home for a while between training and sees a pregnant Alyssa getting mail at none other than Bens house.
