It all began with a simple phone call one serene night after dinner. “Joe,” my father hollers up the stairs, “It’s for you. It’s Jackie, and she sounds distressed.” I crawl out of my warm, comfy bed and as my feet reach my fluffy carpet I feel an instant chill go through my body. I think to myself, “This better be important.” The only reason I arise is because it is my comely best friend who I’ve had a crush on for years. She’s a very athletic person who plays soccer, volleyball and cheers. She has extremely long, beautiful, chestnut brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes. She is lucky she means so much to me or I wouldn’t leave the sanctuary of my bed. As I reach the frigid metal handle of my door, I instantly regret leaving my …show more content…
He has hurt her so many times and it makes me so frustrated. “He was with Hannah last night. What is this, the fifth time now?” she manages to express through her tears. “The girl that he has been spending a great deal of time with lately?” I question. “Yes, I don’t know if anything has happened between them, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it has,” she states before rolling her eyes. “What am I doing wrong? Why can’t I make him happy?” she demands. “Jackie you aren’t doing anything wrong. We talk about this everytime this happens. I know you don’t want to hear it, but I think it’s time for you to move on. All he does is hurt you and you deserve better” I try to persuade her, but she doesn’t care to hear it. I then realize the time and say, “I assume we need to go home, it’s getting late.” “Yeah, you’re probably right I’ll take you home.” We arrive at my house and, as I reach for the handle, Jackie grabs my hand. I feel an instant shock of happiness course through my body as her warm hand meets mine. “Thank you so much for helping me. I couldn’t be more thankful for a best friend like you,” Jackie says. It was so hard for me to keep it together. I have loved her for so long, but I simply cannot risk ruining our friendship for my feelings when I know she doesn’t feel the same. “I’m always here for you. Just know that,” I annotate. I walk up the slippery porch from the chilly rain covering the steps, trying
“I avoided her since then and thanks to the size of the castle, that wasn’t so hard. Just when I felt like I was getting over the mess, I saw her a few days ago. She’s with child.”
“Yeah,” I said, grabbing a notebook from his locker; maybe he wasn’t the only one experiencing weird paranoid episodes, maybe other people were too. My mind continued in thought as he made his way through the crowded halls when he stopped. Standing, staring straight up at me was three pairs of eager eyes smiling back at me. It’s the pink and purple girls, he
"He told me about all his breakups and his heart problem. At that time, he had just broken up with Janine--my ex boyfriend's younger
“Ugh…”, Jackie sighed, “Joe...They killed my parents. My parents are dead”. I was in complete shock. I had no idea something so tragic had occurred. I just thought that Jackie was overreacting about something minor as she usually does.
“I can only hope. But I’m not through with her. I’m going to find out as much as possible about this relationship.”
"You're my best friend, man. You're here for me when I have panic attacks, why wouldn't I be here for you when you're upset?" He muttered, shifting closer to Ian.
“Why you’re tripping over whether or not we’re dating?” Tre asked with a devilish smirk. “And if we were, what would the problem be? Afraid I might take your friend away after only knowing her for less than a day?”
“That too! I’m just curious because last I had heard he was going to propose to her, maybe that’s why they aren’t together. Maybe he was moving too fast for her liking.”
Walking out the front door with all the regrets of the past coming back to haunt. “Im back” yelled jackie, “did you miss me?” As
“How? I… We thought you had…” he trails off, his smile fading, and his hand finds the back of his neck.
“Well, you were seen coming out of Susan's house on Friday. That puts you right at the scene.”
"Everything will be okay, just talk to her, okay?" she said it and hurt her enough to tear up. He didn't notice her tears nor her suffering.
“You don’t still like him right? It’s been over eight months and nothing’s happened so I just assumed it was okay. Is it okay? You’re not mad, right?” Mel says with genuine concern.
"Most of their texts revolved around meeting places and sex. He's definitely cheating, thing is, I can't tell for how long. But I can tell you it's certainly been more than a month. But not that long because they're still not fully comfortable with each other. Do you want me to continue?" She asks.
As we grow older, we meet new people and make new friendships. Out of all the people you meet there is always that one friend that you click with the most. That being said a best friend is someone you look out for and care for like sibling. As we grow older we have a perception of growing old and having your best friend by your side, but I came to the realization one morning that it is not true.
