Poetry For Friends Forever Novels & Stories

"Forever and always." "Forever and always." Dani whimpered, holding me tighter. I don't know how long we sat there like that, two friends caught in the cruel crossroads of fate. It was a conversation neither of us wanted to have, but it was a necessary one.

Claire whispered with a soft smile as tears welled up in her eyes, "I'm scared. I'm afraid to think that my life will always be this happy." "You will always be happy, I promise," Alex replied earnestly. "Do you promise never to leave me? I'm too afraid of losing you. My worst nightmares are when you leave me alone. I don't know what to do without you." Claire sobbed, causing Alex to stop playing and turn to embrace her. "Claire," Alex whispered softly, feeling the warmth of Claire's body.

Friendzoned already?” he said, giving me a puppy dog eye. “I sincerely hope you will reconsider that,” he added with a longsuffering tone. I giggled. “Ah, see that. Totally adorable.

I'll make it up to you some other time." Before he could finish, a message popped up on the screen of his phone, which was placed on the table. Derek quickly grabbed his phone and hurriedly put on his jacket. "It's almost time. Let's talk after I get back." After giving me a half-hearted reply, Derek turned around and strode off. I heard the sound of the door closing next. As soon as Derek left, it got a bit rowdy in the room as Derek's friends burst into derisive laughter.

“Come to my cabin.” I was shocked but nodded repeatedly. “Yeah.” He went back to his cabin while I exhaled. I took a deep breath and entered into his cabin. “What’s wrong?” I asked him. “Why was he here?” “I told you. For the job.” “Then why him?
