Being Friends With An Ex Who Hurt You Novels & Stories

The old me would have, but the person I have become now knew better than to live in a dream world filled with hope and dreams. "Please, Elena, can't lose you too," Lilly called after me. Her voice was filled with so much pain, and for a second, I paused, my heart clenching for her; maybe without Winter, my and Lily's friendship would wither and fade away; only time would be able to tell. But what I did know right now was I needed to find a way to stop myself from hurting so much, and if that meant stepping away from everyone I cared about, then that was what I would do.

"And I'm going to be here for her. Listen, we would end up going around in circles if you don't hear me out. I can't commit myself to you for now. I'm trying to live my life and I wish you also would. Let's just stay friends." "Did you know that when exes break up they can no longer be friends?" I responded and she looked at me like I've grown two heads. "They can only stay friends if they didn't really love each other intimately in the first place or that they are still in love with each other." "Really? So I guess that we have no reasons to be friends then?" She replied sarcastically.

“That he crossed a line.” “Did you tell him to stay away?” “I told him that if it was my choice I would want him to, but that it wasn’t up to me.” “Oh.” “Do you want to remain friends with him?” “I really am not sure. I mean I feel bad for him because he doesn’t really seem to have any friends, but at the same time I’m afraid to trust him. He hurt me, and he spoke badly about you. How can I be friends with someone like that?”

Red, on the other hand, talked about how his ex-girlfriend cheated on him and how he couldn't bring himself to trust anyone again after that. I wanted to say something to comfort them, but I didn't know what to say. It was hard to see my friends in pain, but I knew that they were strong enough to get through it. Maybe time and distance could heal their broken hearts. As they continued to talk, I couldn't help but feel grateful for their friendship. Even though they were hurting, they still made time for each other and listened to one another. It was a reminder that no matter what life throws our way, having people who care about us can make all the difference.

I couldn’t let my best friends get hurt. Ace was one of my best friends. I didn’t want him to get hurt. Getting in a relationship with your best friend could hurt you in the end. It could hurt them too. Especially when you don't like them in any other way… Especially when you liked someone else…

We live in a practical world of bad people and heartbreaks. Sometimes, you don’t lose a friend - completely. But it also does not stay the same. It happens when something big shakes your beautiful bond, something so heartbreaking that you just can’t forget and forgive. You don’t kill the friendship though. You kind of patch up. But the crack stays. It’s like you put a band-aid on a wound that goes deeper than the skin. It’s like you are smiling with a rose in hand, but the thorns are biting your skin. The pain stays. There is frustration inside. You are still angry. You still feel betrayed. You still feel used. And you still feel let down.

Wouldn't that only hurt him more? "I'm sorry if I ever did something wrong, Aaron. But we're done; we broke up, remember? We can't be friends anymore. It'll only hurt both of us if we often see each other," I said. "Well, you wouldn't be hurt if you no longer had feelings for me. Look, I know I made a mistake, but I don't want you to completely disappear from my life like nothing happened between us. I still want to be friends with you," he said, almost begging.

I said as we walked away, choosing a bench, instead of a ride, "I'm really glad you called me," he said after some time, and I turned to look at him, "I'm really glad I called you too. I feel like I've been a terrible friend lately." "not a terrible one. Just a busy one." he said, and shrugged, "I can understand busy." "But, can you perhaps, not understand, rekindling a friendship with the man that hurt me?" I asked, watching his every move, and watched how his concern showed through his calm expression

“I forgive you, Jace.” “You do?” He says, eyes full of hope. “I do. I don’t want to hold on to that anger. But, the whole “friends” thing…I don’t know. I mean, you know it can’t ever be like it was before. And things are a bit…complicated in my life right now,” I cringe at what Kane would say about me being friends with my ex and in no world does that conversation go well. “Complicated how? You said everything was going well at school. I don’t see what’s complicated. Unless…there’s someone else?”
