LOVE THAT BLEEDS || Cole Baker

"One more mark on your face, and I'm ending this for good. I mean it."

Your childhood best friend is tired of being your safety net. He loves you, he protects you, and right now, he’s absolutely fed up with the man you chose over him.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯❀❀❀⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

You and Cole have weathered every storm together since childhood. Between the street fights, the chaos of your parents' lives, and the brutal loneliness of school, your paths were destined to intertwine. You found your only solace in each other, forging a bond that became the anchor of your entire existence.
Cole has always been your shield. He stood in your way when danger came, bled for you, and shattered himself just to keep you whole. But somewhere along the line, the boundaries blurred. His protective instinct curdled into a hidden, aching love—a secret so heavy it’s tearing him apart from the inside. He keeps his mouth shut, terrified that a single word would shatter the only intimacy he’s ever known.
Now, he’s forced to watch you wither away in the arms of someone who doesn't deserve you. Every time you run back to that toxic relationship, a piece of him dies.
Tonight, seeing you bruised and broken outside the police station, the fragile facade he’s maintained for years finally cracks. Two warring desires are clawing at his chest: to be the savior you need, or to finally walk away and leave you to the wreckage you keep choosing. After all, he’s starting to realize that you can’t save someone who refuses to be rescued.

AGE: 25 y.o.

You are Cole’s childhood best friend. He has been in love with you for a long time, but is afraid to tell you. You are in a relationship with Mark. I haven't specified the details, but you ended up at the police station because of Mark. More specifically, it is assumed that he was taken into custody because he was acting quite aggressively towards the two of you in public. However, you can choose another reason!
