That What Friends Are For Novels & Stories

Then he walked into his car and drove off. I can't believe, this just happened. "Romeo-" "-You stopped picking my calls, then you blocked me. What did I do wrong?" He interrupted and I sighed. "No Romeo you've been a great friend I promise, I just didn't want to bother you with my problems and obviously you have your own problems to deal with" I simply say. "Do you know the meaning of friends?! Friends are people who help each when the going gets tough, no matter what" he said and I bit my lip nervously, still not knowing what to say.

Suddenly I feel nervous. It’s not like he would try to pull something on me on the first day we met, right? And certainly not while I am dressed like this? But why did he inadvertently try to ask if I had a boyfriend? Maybe I should invite him in and see where it goes? No, that’s probably a bad idea... we are neighbours after all. How awkward would it be to have a one night stand with your neighbour and have to see him all the time. Bad Blair! It’s ok to just have guy friends without benefits too! I’d best just go home and do some work...

It's the song that we will both listen to. Maybe that is what tru friendship means. That no matter what happens, you will always find a way to forgive each other. That no matter where life brings you, you will find your way back to each other. True friendship is not just about who you are with when you are happy, it's about who you are with when you are broken and sad.

I say sadly, looking away. Then we start chatting and laughing, and I realize that this is what life is all about. It's not about being popular or fitting in. It's about finding people who accept you for who you are and who make you feel good about yourself. Not only that, but it's about being part of a friend circle, a group of people who share your interests and values.

he asked. “Hugging you? That's what friends do," I answered, more like a question. He broke the hug immediately I said that, with so much force. “Who said we're friends?" “Well, we aren't enemies, are we? And the opposite of enemies is friends. I just put two and two together and came up with that.” "Besides, we've been getting along really well lately, right?" I added. I don't even know what to call the expression on his face; it was just blank but mixed with confusion.

Then these clowns showed up and turned my peaceful drink into a comedy night. Don’t get me wrong, though. I love these assholes. In the world I live in, real friends are hard to come by. Actually, that word doesn’t even exist in the business world. Everyone you meet wants something—your money, your power, your connections. But these guys? They’re the real deal. Even if they act like morons sometimes, I’d still choose them over any of the leeches who pretend to be friends just to use you. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw Niu’s name flash on the screen.

"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."

"Sorry that I couldn't do more for you when you lost your parents. I never really experienced losing anyone like that, and couldn't comprehend what you were going through." "Shut the fuck up. You were there for me, buddy. Always. When nobody else was. I'll never forget that. Enough said. Don't need to be getting sappy over it." I couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright. By the way, there's one other thing you might be able to do for me." "Anything. That's what friend are for." That's what friends are for.

Celine was relieved. “What are friends for?”

“You are silly. Real friends take care of each other and don’t keep talking about your flaws. You were doing your best to protect this friendship, but it didn’t mean anything to her. People who treat you as a friend wouldn’t forget about you even if you didn’t reach out to them. “Some people are not meant to be lifelong friends, so there’s no need to force it. She showed up in your life and taught you a lesson, and you learned. We’re still young, so we’ll meet a lot more people in the future. We’ll have more choices, but those who stay till the end are the true friends.”
