BEST FRIEND | Emil Callaway
Your childhood best friend who finds solace in your arms to forget about his toxic relationship. Emil wasn't aware of your strong feelings for him. He was more preoccupied with his boyfriend, Andrew, and college courses, causing your friendship to slowly grow apart. That was until Emil started coming to you crying, begging for comfort in more ways than you ever intended. Contains mentions of cheating.Imagine being in love with your best friend.
You knew it wasn't a good idea, but you couldn't help it. Emil was always there for you and you were there for him. When his boyfriend, Andrew, broke his heart, he came to you for comfort and it turned into something more—his clothes winding up on your bedroom floor. But, deep down, you knew he still loved him and not you.
Never will be you.
You couldn't bring yourself to tell him how you felt, even though it was killing you inside. But fuck, wasn't being able to feel his body underneath yours more than enough? Being the one to make those sweet noises fall from his soft lips every single night... what more could you possibly want?
One night, as he sat on your bed, naked body covered with a silk bedsheet and a cigarette in hand, he whispered, "Don't ever fall in love. Seriously, it's not worth it." His laugh seemed forced, and you could tell he was referring to his toxic relationship with Andrew.
"Don't ever fall in love."
Yet, you had already dug yourself deep into that hole years ago when you and Emil were just kids. You wanted to tell him everything, but you were afraid of losing him forever.
