Best Friends Ex Novels & Stories

“Can wait. I’ll speak to your boss if I have to.” I sighed, trying to find a gentle way to turn her down. “I—” “This getaway is our excuse to properly say goodbye to Elliot,” Mr. Perez cut in. “I know you and my son haven’t been the best to each other this year, but five years of friendship—you want that under the drain?” “Mr. Perez, you’re right. Elliot and I have fought more than ever this year. And—” “And you always forgive each other,” he interrupted again. “Your friendship is unbreakable. I’m sure whatever happened, you two will understand each other again. But for now, you have to come and say goodbye. If it helps, Chloe isn’t even invited.”

They were in this together, and nothing could ever tear them apart. Years went by, and Ava and Ethan built a life together. They worked to rebuild the city, using their experiences to help others who had been affected by the Order's evil plans. They became leaders in their community, known for their bravery and their love for each other. One day, as they sat on their porch, watching the sunset, Ava turned to Ethan and smiled. "You know what I'm most grateful for?" she asked. Ethan looked at her, his eyes filled with love. "What's that?" he replied.

I groaned, walked toward her, and grabbed her hand, pulling her closer. “Stop crying,” I whispered, kissing her forehead. “It won’t do good for you and the baby.” I swallowed hard, almost choking at the word. Just a while ago, I was excited, dreaming of us as one happy family, until she asked me to count and returned the ring to me. My world fell apart, realizing I had lost my best friend and fiancée at the same time. Being best friends and ex sucked! I wanted to run away, be alone even for a while, but I couldn’t. I had to be with her. I had to be the best friend.

“__ that day you had barged into Rose’s office with takeout bags, I’m sure you planned on, maybe, f*cking her that day but I was in her office. Sorry for being a cock blocker” Kyle grinned in response, before gulping his drink. “I still f*cked her afterwards”, he answered, the grin not leaving his face. Kate scowled, rolling her eyes, much to Kyle's amusement. “Is she really your girlfriend's best friend?” She asked, being careful with her words, not to alert Kyle of her intentions but then again he was drunk already “My dead ex-girlfriend you mean”, Kyle corrected, his words coming out slurpy. “We broke up before she died”.

“ Oh. ” “ So how do you explain this, Joe? ” “ What's there to explain, someone took a picture of me and my best friend. What else do you want me to explain? ” “ What do you mean by your best friend, Joe? ” “ Exactly what you heard. ” “ Haven't you guys broken up already? ” Her tone became less confident and more shaky.

“He isn’t the anonymous boyfriend.” A faint flicker crossed his eyes. “That was my ex.” Tee’s fingers curled tighter against the glass. “I broke up with him.” The words sounded simple. Easy. As though years of love could be reduced into one painless sentence for the public to consume. Tee smiled faintly. Then looked away before anyone noticed his hands shaking. Mix smiled again afterward like he had already moved past everything completely. “Fans should definitely expect marriage soon.” The younger man beside him nodded happily in agreement while reporters cheered loudly again.

Now, it just made me want to gag. “Nobody knows you the way I do. Nobody else on this campus actually gives a damn about you the way I do. I’m the one who protected you. I’m the one who always made sure you were good. You think Brittany cares? She’s just using this to cause a scene because she hates me, not because she's trying to protect you. You’re my best friend, Kathy. We’re supposed to be a team. You can’t let people come between us over some stupid rumor or misunderstanding.”

“Mia, I need to tell you something.” Mia’s face tensed. “Okay.” “I don’t blame you anymore. I haven’t for a long time. But I also don’t think we’re going to be best friends again. Not like before.” Mia nodded slowly. “I know.” “But I’m glad you’re in my life. Even in this small way. And I’m glad you’re happy.” Mia’s eyes filled with tears. “I’m glad you’re happy too.” They hugged longer this time, softer. When they pulled apart, the sky seemed brighter.

“Then what is it, Sav? Why won’t you look at me? Why do you keep dodging me like I’m contagious? You're ignoring me.” I turned around, clutching my arms like they could hold me together. “Because best friends don’t see each other naked in that way.” Roman blinked. “Sav…” “Best friends,” I cut in, heart in my throat, “don’t bend each other over in the backseat of a car and have the kind of sex that haunts you for days. The kind that we just had. That’s not friendship. That’s something else. And we… we broke it. We’re screwed, Roman.”

I wasn’t in the mood to defend my not standing up for myself against my ex-bestfriend. “I can’t believe you used to be friends with her. Her picture should be right next to the word horrible in the dictionary, she barely gives you space to breathe in school,” Indy was scratching Leslie in her favorite spot behind her ear. I sighed. “Used to be. Before she turned into Miss My-name’s-not-Google-but-I-know-everything.” Remembering the circumstances surrounding our fallout made me sad so I didn’t say more, but I didn’t need to because suddenly the sound of footsteps approaching rang out and soon another figure appeared from the corner armed with a bowl of popcorn he was eating from.
