No We Can't Be Friends Novels & Stories

He didn't look so okay with it. "I'm sorry ", I said . "No it's not your fault, instead of stalking you I should have reached out, I guess I was just a coward ". I'm glad you didn't, you have no idea how messy my life is. "So, friends?", I asked. "I don't think we can ever be just friends, not for me". "So enemies?", I asked. "I can't hate you ". "Okay, ex roommates it is then ", I said. "Sounds better ".

The hopeful expression in his voice made me feel guilty. I really do not know what to do. I do not want to entertain him. That I was sure of. So right there and then, I needed to dash out any hope he might have had about an “us” in the future. I really do not think it will happen with my current state. “I can’t be friends with you if you are harboring any hope of being more than a friend,” I told him ruthlessly, not wanting him to hope for much more because I really do not know if I still have enough in me to give to another man except friendship.

With a small smile towards her and an annoyed sound from London, Brendan takes a deep breath. "Our last rule is that no one is allowed to have any friends outside of Crash Course Rebellion. Only aquaintances."

Bethany “Why can’t you just settle the feud? I mean, you guys can become friends. I don’t see why you can’t.” I whispered. “It’s not as easy as it seemed but we talked and we will talk again soon. You don’t have to worry. Just have fun.”

I guess we need to talk about it too. We didn't bother to find a place where we could talk. After all, no one could hear what we were talking about because there were only two of us here. “Can we be friends?” he asked. I was stunned and bit my lips. “But... our families we're enemies,” I sadly said. Yeah sad, but that's the reality. “Let's not just think that we came from hostile families. And we don't even have to be involved in their fight, the important thing is that we are friends” he said.

***ESTHER*** “Friends, you say?” I raise my brows in stress. He wants me to be his friend. But what advantages are there for us to being friends? Friendship has never been a beneficial strategy in my all life but with Caden friendship is different. I cannot be a friend to a guy with whom I have already slept once. It… feels kind of strange to me. He nods his head. “No! We can’t be. We are better as a stranger,” I say as I leave his hand and make my way back to the ward.

"You're going to say now that we're not supposed to be just friends. Anything more than that would never work anyways." "And we can't hate each other. No matter how much we both try, it seems we can't be enemies. So what are we?" "We're business partners. That's what we are. We were brought together by a contract!" My face dropped in my hand. The fact that we needed to keep going over this was proof enough that it wasn't working. "We can't continue doing this. If we do, we'll never be able to focus – You'll never be able to find the right person!"

I said and leaned back while resting my left ankle on my right knee. Dad turned to look at me and then added, “Does she know about us?” I took a sip again and started, “No, why would she know about that?” “Just asking…” He said and leaned back too, sighing. “What's the problem, dad? I can’t make friends now?” I asked him in frustration. “I am not saying you can’t make friends. It’s just that… You should remember that you cannot get involved with a human girl and that I mean… Romantically…” He said and I gulped and looked away while he took a sip.

"I had also seen your posts with Cody. Haven't you outgrown him yet?" I rolled my eyes, grabbed my phone, and headed for my bedroom. "It’s a best-friends-for-life thing, mother. I could never outgrow him." "Don’t tell me you two are already having sex?" I grimaced instantly. "Ew, gross, why would you even think that?" "Come on, you are both adults. Everyone knows males and females can't stay that intertwined forever. Either you like him, he likes you, or — worst of all — you are copulating."

“Emmett and I are in a no strings attached relationship. We can break it off whenever we want. “But, you know, he might be sad you’re…” She cuts in. “Are you afraid I’m gonna leave you?” I give her a weak smile, but she sees right through me. She gets up and sits next to me on the bed, bumping my shoulder lightly. “You know if I leave, that leaves you with zero friends.” I roll my eyes. “Friends are overrated.” Breonna shakes her head. “No, you’ve just had shitty ones. Maybe when you’re back in L.A., you should join a country club or something.”
