Episodes Of Best Friends Whenever Novels & Stories

I knew that this day would come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. “Bridget, you need to calm…” “No, I will not come down! Don't tell me to calm down. How fucking dare you tell me to calm down when you've been sleeping with my best friend! How long has it been? A week? A month? A goddamn year?!"

FELIX. I’m a shitty person. I know I’ve always been a shitty person, but at least I wasn’t like that to the few people I care about—one of them being my best friend. But after getting myself involved with his ex-girlfriend, I’m just realizing what a shittier person I’ve turned into.

I smiled despite myself, shoulders loosening for the first time all day. Me: Do you have plans for tonight? There was a pause. Long enough that I wondered if I should’ve just shut up and gone home. Then: Evan: Just meeting up with my best friend. She’s coming over later. I stared at that line a little too long. Best friend? Me: Best friend, huh. Evan: Yes, my best friend. It’s not a code for anything crazy, if that’s what you’re thinking. I snorted. Me: I wasn’t thinking that.

"Nice to meet you," Collen quickly took my hands and shook them. My hands fell limp to my side. "Is everything okay?" Hannah asked, her green eyes searching mine. "Yeah, just that um, I was about to go to bed when you came," I lied through my teeth. My heart was beating not just within my chest but I could hear it in head. This was the first time I had lied to my best friend in all our twelve years of being friends. "Oh, I was hoping you could stay up with us to watch a movie."

It's gone. The forest floor beneath us becomes an uncomfortable cushion, and I break the silence with a light-hearted comment. "My back is about to break if you don't help me up right now and stop crushing me." Amelia pulls back, her eyes reflecting genuine remorse before she chuckles like I’m the funniest joke she’s ever seen. Leave it to Amelia to turn situations around in seconds. I was a few moments away from bawling my eyes out at losing my best friend, and now I’m going to smack her if she doesn’t get up.

I'd wanted to know what a normal life felt like, so I'd kept that part of myself buried. When I met Samantha, struggling to get by but pushing through school anyway, I made her my best friend. When she couldn't afford the hot meals in the cafeteria, I'd pile extra food onto my tray every day and pretend I couldn't finish it, sliding it over to her. When she couldn't pay for school materials, I'd made up a story about winning a scratch-off and covered it for her. When guys from outside school started giving her trouble, I'd scared them off myself.

I stared at the screen not paying it much attention. Instead, my mind was hyper-focused on what had just happened. Was I reading into this too much? Probably. Zack was a very loyal guy so it was probably just a friendly peck on the head. Yeah, that's what it was, a friendly kiss on the head given to me by my best and only friend. My best friend, damn my life. You can say that again.

We struggled through the language barrier for what felt like forever before they understood. “You’re saying your friend might be down below the cliff?”

(RORY'S POV) My phone beeped just as the bell rang and the screen lit up with Todd's name. BESTIE: I have to watch tapes with the coach so I won't be there with you for break. Text me if you need me. Please stay safe. A small, private smile touched my lips as I gathered my books. Even amid the chaos of the crowded hallway, this tiny notification created a protective bubble around me. Maybe it was pathetic because I was desperately clutching for what I could find, but I loved knowing Todd cared for me, even if it was just as a best friend.

Some friendships bend until they almost break. The best ones learn how to grow stronger in the cracked places. The End
