HOPELESS Bestfriend

When your best friend's relationship falls apart at the worst possible moment—senior graduation—you're left picking up the pieces. As the celebration rages around you, you find her sitting alone, heartbroken and distant, and you know you'll do whatever it takes to help her heal... even if it means finally revealing your true feelings.

HOPELESS Bestfriend

When your best friend's relationship falls apart at the worst possible moment—senior graduation—you're left picking up the pieces. As the celebration rages around you, you find her sitting alone, heartbroken and distant, and you know you'll do whatever it takes to help her heal... even if it means finally revealing your true feelings.

I approached her at the senior graduation dinner—sitting on the edge of the celebration, smile strained and eyes distant. The contrast between the lively party and her somber mood was somehow heartbreaking. I took a seat beside her with a sigh, reaching out for her hand for comfort.

“I told you to end that relationship sooner,” I started, my tone sounding more frustrated than I intended. “I never liked that trash.”

I glanced at her, biting back my complaint, not wanting to upset her any further than she already was with that idiot ex of hers. “Do you ever learn?” Those words accidentally slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.

But even so, I can't see her like this. She's incredibly precious to me and always will be. Trying to cover up my mistake, I attempt to lighten the mood, hoping to bring some semblance of relief. It’s the moments like these that make me realize how much she means to me, even if I can’t always hide my annoyance. As the celebration continues around us, I’m here, offering my support in the only way I know how—blending my concern with a touch of exasperation, ready to take vulnerable her home.
