Wanting my best friend’s brother Chapter 29
Later that night, I took my shower and just lay on my bed. I closed my eyes at some point, but the sleep never really came. Every time I drifted off, I saw it again. How Chloe held Ethan’s hand, the way she looked at him, and the way Anabel stood there like I meant nothing to her.By morning, I woke up tired, but I got ready for work anyway. I needed to focus on something else that didn’t involve replaying yesterday over and over again. At least work felt safe.The moment I stepped into my office, I saw it. The flowers sat neatly on my desk like they belonged there. They looked fresh and beautiful. The kind I would normally smile at without even thinking twice on a normal day. There was a small card tucked between them. I already knew who it was from.I stood there for a second, just looking at it. Then I walked closer and picked up the card. It said:I’m sorry, Lin. -EthanI exhaled slowly, staring at the words a little longer than I should have. My phone buzzed in my hand. It was E

I didn’t stop walking. I could hear him walking behind me, calling my name, but I didn’t turn back. I didn’t trust myself to do that because if I did, I knew I would either cry or say something I wouldn’t be able to take back."Linda…wait."His hand caught my arm just as I got to my car. I stopped still not looking back. I stopped, not because I wanted to, but because I had to. I let out a quiet breath before turning to face him."What?" I asked.My voice didn’t sound like mine. It was too steady. Ethan frowned slightly, like he noticed it too."Can we talk?" he asked. "Please.""We’ve done enough talking for today. Or what more do I need to hear?" I replied."Linda, please. I know how that looked….""How does it look?" I cut in, letting out a short, sarcastic laugh. "Ethan, I was there. I saw it all. You don’t need to explain what I saw.""It’s not what you think," he said quickly.I shook my head. "Of course, you know what I’m thinking now?"He ran a hand through his hair, clearly t

CHAPTER 27.Ethan had invited me to Anabel’s birthday party. Anabel and I were supposed to plan the party together but she planned it alone since we weren’t on good terms. I didn't even know she was still going to have the party until Ethan gave me an invite. I didn't know how he got it but he asked me to be there. I almost didn’t go. Even after Ethan had reminded me about the party the night before, I still wasn’t sure. It didn’t feel like my place anymore. Not when Anabel hadn’t spoken to me in days. Not when the last thing she said about me was still sitting somewhere between anger and disappointment.I stared at my phone for a long time that morning before finally calling Maya."Do you think I should go?" I asked the moment she picked up.There was a pause on her end. "To Anabel’s party?""Yes."There was another pause. Then she asked, "Do you want to go?"I hesitated. "To be honest, I don’t know and that’s the problem."Maya sighed softly. "Lin… if you don’t go, things will remai
Wanting my best friend’s brother Chapter 26
It has been two days since my message to Anabel. Two days of silence, two days of checking my phone more times than I wanted to admit, and two days of pretending I was adjusting, when really I was just waiting. Waiting for something to happen. Anything may be an answer or a reaction. Even anger would have been better than this.But there was nothing. And somehow, that hurt more.Ethan called me one evening and I could tell from the first second that something had happened."Hey," he said. His voice was careful."Hey…," I said slowly. "What's wrong?"There was a short pause."I spoke to Anabel today."I sat up immediately."What? When was that?""This afternoon," he said. "She came to pick up some things from the house. I was there and I didn't want to let the moment pass without trying."My heart was already beating faster."How did it go? What did she say?"Another pause. Longer this time."It didn't go well," he admitted.I closed my eyes. I could hear it in his voice just how bad i

Nothing about me felt normal anymore. Although life didn't stop.I went back to work on Tuesday. I answered emails. I reviewed designs. I made sketches. I had meetings. I gave feedback and smiled at the right moments. From the outside, everything looked fine. But inside, something was quietly missing. My best friend.Anabel.It had only been a few days but her absence was everywhere. Not in a dramatic, obvious way. But in the small ways that sneak up on you when you're not paying attention. I would see something funny on my way to work and reach for my phone to send it to her before remembering. I would finish a long day and feel the urge to call her just to complain about nothing, the way we always did. I would open our chat and stare at the last message I sent her. Still undelivered. It was just sitting there with a single grey tick like a door that had been quietly shut in my face.I had made my choice. I chose Ethan and I didn't regret it. But choosing him didn't make the loss of

I woke up with the decision already sitting in my chest.It wasn’t a clean or certain decision. Just the quiet, heavy feeling of someone who had made up their mind to do the hard thing and was already grieving it.I was going to choose Anabel.I told myself it was the right choice to make. That it was what love looked like sometimes. Making a sacrifice by choosing the person who had been there longer. Choosing the friendship that had held me together through everything before Ethan ever existed.I got dressed quietly, thanked Maya, and drove to Ethan's place.I don't know why I went there instead of just calling, maybe because I owed him that much. To say it to his face and not be a coward about it.He opened the door and the moment he saw me his whole face shifted. Relief first. Then concern followed."Lin..." My name came out like a breath he had been holding in. "Come in. I've been worried sick," he stepped aside immediately. "Where have you been?" he asked. "I came back home and

I left work early to come home and clear my head. I just finished dinner and was about to upload some pictures of my new collections to my fashion page.It was around 8 pm when someone knocked on my apartment door. I wasn't expecting anyone. Maya had gone home hours ago, and Anabel was busy with th

I almost didn't go.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone. I was already dressed in a beautiful emerald green dress that hugged my body perfectly. My makeup was flawless, my hair was styled, and I looked stunning. But inside, I felt like I was falling apart. I was having cold feet.I did

I reached for a glass of wine from a passing server and took a long sip, to give my hands something to do and to calm my nerves down."So… you came, " a voice said softly behind me.I turned slightly and saw Ethan standing next to me. My heart raced. I opened my mouth to respond, but the words woul

I woke up to my phone ringing the next morning. My eyes were swollen from crying all night, and my body felt heavy like I hadn't slept at all. I searched for my phone on the couch and saw Anabel's name on my phone’s screen.My heart stopped. For a second I thought Ethan had shown up at her place an
