Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister Epilogue
Mia’s POV (Two Months Later)It had been two months since we left, two months of co-parenting, compromise, and cautious conversations. Dylan even went to therapy to get over most of his childhood trauma and he learnt how to manage his emotions, especially his anger.My parents also supported our decision even though they were a bit disappointed we didn't just let go of our past completely to focus on moving on as a family.Well, on the surface, things were really good. Peaceful, even. Truth was thriving and okay with the fact she could still see both of her parents, but to be honest, I was... barely surviving.Behind every smile at a school pickup, every shared laugh during drop-offs, there was a quiet longing. For him.Dylan and I were doing everything right for our daughter’s sake, but everything else still felt wrong. Like pretending not to miss the feel of his arms wrapped around me at night. Like ignoring the way my heart pulled when I heard his laugh. Like biting my tongue when
Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister Letting Go to Begin Again
Dylan's POV The morning light crept softly through the curtains, casting pale shadows across the room. I hadn’t slept much because my mind kept replaying last night like a bad record, stuck on Mia’s confession and the inevitability of what today meant.I stared at the ceiling for a long time, numb in a way that didn’t feel new anymore. Truth’s door creaked open. Her steps, light and cautious, padded across the hall.She didn’t come to me right away.I found her sitting at the edge of her bed, hugging her knees, her small frame wrapped in her oversized hoodie. Her eyes were open, wide and thoughtful, staring at something I couldn’t see.“Good Morning, My beautiful princess,” I said gently, kneeling beside her.She turned to look at me, her expression calm. Sad, somehow. Her eyes didn’t carry blame. Just quiet understanding. “Good morning, Dad.”It was the way she said it. Soft, yet strong, that hit me in the chest.“Are you okay, sweetheart?” I asked, brushing a strand of hair from h
Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister The weight of Love
Dylan’s POVShe left me standing there before I could say more, with nothing but the echo of her words.“Loving you has never been enough to save us.”The door clicked softly behind her, sealing the finality of the moment. I stood frozen, unable to move or even think. It felt like my heart had been cut in half, shredded in a way that words couldn’t describe.I couldn’t hear anything over the deafening silence that settled between us.I guess I should’ve seen it coming.Mia had been building her walls up for years. And yet, I’d convinced myself, foolishly, that I could break them down. That love would be enough to tear through the fortress she’d built around her heart. But now, standing in the empty, quiet aftermath of our conversation, I understood that love wasn’t the key. Not the way I thought it was.I wanted to chase after her. Grab her, pull her into my arms, and beg her to stay, to tell me this was just a fight, that we could fix it, that we could somehow make it work. The need
Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister Time's Up II
Mia's POV “I’m really sorry, my love. It's my fault we're in this mess in the first place.”“Enough with your apologies dad, just fix things already. If my mom leaves, I'll be leaving with her and that'll be it. I don't think I'll try to convince her then. You’re a nice guy to some extent, and you're so rich, but I'll choose her over you anytime.”“It's okay, I can understand that. You don’t have to convince her for me either. I'm just glad you like me now.”“I'm kind-hearted like my mom, so I couldn't hate you for so long.”“Thank you so much, Truth.”“You're welcome. Now we need to make a plan to help you get mom back.”I couldn’t take it anymore. I rushed back inside and threw myself into setting up the dinner table, letting muscle memory take over. My hands moved. My mind spiraled.Then, like fate had a cruel sense of timing, I pulled open the wrong drawer and came face-to-face with it.The article.I stared at it. The edges sharp and clean like it was brand new. I’d avoided r
Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister Time's Up I
Mia's POV Finally.Our one month was over. A month of playing house, of pretending this little bubble was ours forever. We’d shared laughs, dinners, and responsibilities. We’d breathed life into something that almost felt like a family. But now time was running out, and reality was starting to hit me hard in the head.Still, I kept Dylan at arm’s length.Yes, we flirted. We teased and we might have kissed more than we should have.But whenever the moment began to tilt into something deeper, heavier, more consuming, he’d pull back. And as much as I hated the sudden distance, a part of me was entirely grateful for it. If we made love, it would tangle us up even worse than we already were and worse, what if I got pregnant again?We were careful around Truth. We didn’t touch or anything in front of her, but our daughter is too smart. She didn’t need to see us holding hands or sharing a kiss to know love still lingered between us. Just like my parents could feel it too. Our love is avoi
Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister A Proper Reunion II
Dylan’s POVThe air was crisp, golden with the warmth of the sun, and laced with the peace and laughter. Truth was in the driveway, steadying herself on her bike, her helmet slightly off. Every time she lost balance or fell down, she’d push herself up again without complaint.“She’s a determined one, isn't she?” Mia’s dad said beside me, his voice filled with pride and admiration.“I know. She gets it from her mom,” I replied, unable to stop the smile tugging at my mouth.He chuckled, his arms crossed casually over his chest as we both stood by the porch steps. “Maybe. But that fight in her? That’s got some of you in it too.”I didn’t know what to say to that. For a long moment, I watched my daughter try again with her brows furrowed. If we let her, she'd be throwing curse words left, right and center. Just like me indeed. My throat tightened.“She shouldn't be like me. I don't even deserve the love she's slowly giving me now. I messed up and I missed everything,” I finally said. “He
Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister A Proper Reunion I
Mia’s POVThe day had finally come.The one I’d been dreading and quietly longing for since we returned home.It was the day my entire family was coming over. Not for a holiday or a birthday. But for a…reunion. Something like a fresh start. And Dylan had been the one to plan it all. I didn’t think he'd actually invite all of them over.We’d been living here for days now. Days that somehow melted into comfort and familiarity. The walls didn’t echo because of awkward silence anymore. The air wasn’t filled with tension. Truth laughed more freely, and at night, I sometimes caught myself smiling for no reason.It was terrifying… how easy it was to fall back into this life with Dylan. But it was also wonderful.I glanced around the living room, the floral arrangements, the catered trays being set, the faint scent of pasta wafting in from the kitchen. Dylan had spared no effort. He even remembered my mom’s favourite dessert and my dad’s strange obsession with iced tea.He wanted this to be p
Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister Everything We Missed
Dylan’s POVThe photo album sat on the coffee table like it held memories. Quiet ones, fun ones and fragile ones. Ones I didn’t know anything about.Mia didn’t say anything else after she dropped it there but I smiled at her a bit to show my gratitude. I know I missed a lot but I could probably live some moments through this.She sat down gently beside Truth, her fingers brushing absently through our daughter’s curls. I hadn’t realized how much I now love the sound and sight of them together. Soft laughter. Warm teasing. The ease. I don't want this to end, ever.“Okay,” Truth said with a dramatic sigh. “If we’re doing this, we’re doing it all the way. But I’m hiding the bath pictures.”Mia laughed. “Absolutely not.”I sat forward, flipping the album open.The first photo hit me in the chest like a punch. Truth as a baby. She looked maybe a few days old, pink and sleepy in a blue blanket. Her eyes were half-open, mouth slightly parted, and her little hand was gripping Mia’s finger. Mia
Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister Family Picnic
Mia’s POVAfter the interview last week, things changed for us. But not in a dramatic, or bad way. Things started to change slowly but surely, like we were reluctant to make the change we needed to happen or too scared to let things be different at all.We started by doing things we hadn’t done happily together in years. They were simple things, but really meaningful. They made me feel so happy and I could tell Truth and Dylan felt the same way.We ate meals together, not just out of routine, but intentionally. Conversations flowed more easily, silences felt less strained if there were any at all, and Truth soaked it all in with wide eyes, curious and quietly thrilled that her parents weren’t just coexisting anymore. Things were less awkward between us too.We started taking her to places from our past. Dylan suggested it, like he wanted to show her who we were before life got messy. Honestly I didn't think it was a good idea but seeing how excited Truth was, I just had to give in.W
