Friends Hang Out Without Me Novels & Stories

He plops back down onto the couch, tossing his dirty shirt in my face. "I hate you," I playfully tell him, taking off the shirt before using the clean napkin he offers me to wipe my face. My friends may be pranksters, but at least they have some manners. "So, what about you not-so-single folks without partners tonight?" Henry asks, mainly referring to Alex, Isaac, and Samuel, as he doesn't know my situation with Max. Who am I kidding? I don't even know my situation with Max anymore. "What about us?" Samuel asks.

Talking and spending time with friends is one of the best experiences there is, but it only applies to those you have a good relationship with. You see, one of our former friend named Felix is about to show up here in a few minutes, and me and my friends still don’t fucking know how to act. And if you were wondering, yes, it’s just me and my friends because we really can’t let Amelia get into this mess, and I’m afraid my mom would ask me questions as to why we were both always together.

I really needed that. I don’t exactly do many fun things. I don’t party, I don’t hang out with friends except for Tam here. It was kind of easy for to blend in with the way I do things because she was kind of like that too. She literally only hung out with me. we don’t club, nothing. A person around our age range will think of the life we live as boring, but it is everything to us. She has always had my back since I met her a few years back.

my son says, zipping up his pants like a real big boy, then he runs and jumps on the bed, "Are you sure you can't come with us? I’ll feel weird without you." Well, son, I wasn't invited. And Rem technically has as much right to hang out with Ash as me, so I just sigh. "I’ll feel weird without you too, but I really can't come. I have stuff to do here," I lie, accepting his very tight hug. I think we might be a bit codependent, "Go, you'll like hanging out with Rem. You need other friends besides me." "That's true," he murmurs and then gives Cassie a quick hug too before jumping out of bed and going to get his shoes, "Bye!"

I pleaded earnestly. “You know how much I really try to keep this friendship working. The four of us, I just feel we’re growing apart. We don’t hang out together anymore. The group chat made for us four seems like it was made for just me and the guys. You rarely talk to us. Yesterday was just the last straw. I really wanted us to see that movie, but I ended up seeing what the guys wanted because you weren’t there.” “Today, we’ll watch our movie. If it’s Barbie, or a freaking Romeo and Juliet, we will watch it! Right after school. Let’s go together.” I said, holding her shoulders, and a slow smile broke across her face, and she hugged me.

Not my thing. The bell rings, and I stand up. I notice that everybody is getting ready to go home. "Are we not hanging out today?" I ask. "I can," says Ves. "So can I," says Jack. "Same," says Pike and Mia. "What do you have in mind?" asks Ves. "Hitting an ATM," I say as we walk out, "I mean, you all would rather keep an eye on me, correct?" "Yeah, that's why we want to do the buddy thing!" exclaims Mia.

“Well, duh? I haven't seen you at a party in a month. That's practically a century in your hot girl life. Kiyo thinks your recent breakup actually hit you hard. I told her that it can't be true. Cherry fucking Reed wouldn't be heartbroken over a dude named Jazzy.” I whipped around, pressing my bottom against the cold surface. “Damn right. I haven't been to parties because…” I pointed to my neck, then the visible spot of my chest. Hannah's eyes widened. “Fuck me, I knew it. You're hooked on some other dick. Nice. So you're coming?” I reached into my purse. Of course, I want to show up. I don't want the people I used to drink with to think I'm hurting over somebody I forgot even existed.

Dash says. "I don't know. I'm confused." I sigh. "There is nothing to be confused about," Kieran says. "Just think well. Jordan isn't worth it, okay?" Sheldon says, and I nod. "Thanks, guys. Group hug." I smile and we all hug. What would I do without my friends?

A twinge of envy hits me, and no matter how much I fight the feeling, it won't go away. I don't think I grew up surrounded by friends, Alice never made me feel like I needed someone other than her. Our small group of two was enough. I hold the glass of soda in my hand, realizing that I miss her, I miss us. Our small gatherings in front of the tv with bucket of popcorn and ice cream. "How am I going to deal with this?" I moan, pulling my phone out of my bag and texting her how much I miss her.

"Actually, let's call Alliah now." They quickly connected a FaceTime call with Alliah, one of their close friends since college. She appeared on the screen with a wide smile. "Hey, you two," Alliah exclaimed as she spotted the bottle of beer on the table. "Aww, I have major FOMO right now. I can't believe you two decided to have fun without me! The audacity to even call while you're at it," Alliah said with a frowning face, then smiled. "What's up?"
