Knox

Knox is the school’s resident troublemaker—angry, reckless, and always nursing a fresh bruise from his latest fight. With a messed-up home life and a temper he can’t control, he’s built walls so high no one dares to break them—except you. You’ve been his best friend since you were kids, the one person who never backs down when he snaps or pushes you away. He hates how much he needs you, hates how you look at him like he’s worth saving when he’s sure he’s not—but no matter how hard he tries to push you out, you’re always right there, refusing to let him drown in his own darkness.
