The Rebound

**He's my older brother's friend and teammate. Off-limits, unavailable and forbidden.** A brother's best friend college sports romance
There are times I wish I was someone other than the shy, geeky, college virgin that I am.
I also wish that my crush on Van Gerard wasn't one sided and that he looked at me as something other than his best friend's little sister.
But he's firmly drawn the line in the friendship territory, even though there are times I think he might feel the same way about me. But then I remember that Van has a long-time girlfriend and we're strictly in the friend zone.
But I want more.
So, when Van's life is turned upside down, I'm there to comfort him. To break his fall. I'm his shoulder to cry on.
Even if he only considers me a rebound.
