The Best Thing I Ever Did Novels & Stories

The big brother I always wanted as an only child. "If he ever dares hurt you... Call me. I'll make him pay." he had said as a last resolute, making my eyes roll. "He's not going to hurt me, Brooks." Wanna bet?" "Brooks!" "I mean it. You're my best friend, the last thing I want is you getting hurt over a damn fool!" "Brooks, stop it," I said as we sat by our childhood tree house three years ago. "I bet you won't go past five years." he had said, making me uncomfortably angry. But I took the bet, determined to prove him wrong.

His voice was as gentle as ever. "I went home," I said flatly, "I don't feel like trying on wedding dresses anymore." There was a brief silence before his familiar laugh came through. "Alright then, I'll take you there again another day. Once I'm done here, I'll bring back that mango cake you love, okay?" Ethan said. My heart twisted painfully. Mangoes… I've never liked mangoes. The one who did was Serena. Reflecting on my past life, Ethan would always bring me a mango cake whenever he returned from a trip. He did that for 60 years. But I'd always preferred strawberry cakes!

It was really absurd everytime u think about my life as it is now - which was almost every second - so absurd that I'd have laughed if I wasn't the victim of the whole craziness. First I get rejected. Then I have sex with my gay best friend. Then I find out he's not gay, but a spy from another pack. Then he goes ahead to tell me he loves me and proposes to me. Madness. Total madness, honestly. Dear goddess, what next? What would come out next to mock me and the joke I've obviously become to the universe? “No matter how hard you tug, the dress won't get lower than that” Jax said with a slight chuckle and I glared at him.

If only I was, but I was doing what I always did best. Making the stupidest possible choice when it came to Steven Riorson.

, I said as I looked at myself in the mirror, admiring my beauty. "Okay then, I will pick you up in the next 10minutes" Edin, my best friend said as he ended the call. Meanwhile, as I was looking at the mirror, my mind flashed back to the days we became friends and gradually best friends. Just like yesterday, I laughed remembering how I was a popular girl which no one could pass without glancing at and I was also a troublesome girl(that was part of my hobby).

“I moved around a lot, and no one ever came looking for me. So… I guess no one knew I existed. Or cared.” He stared at me as if he were trying to digest everything I had just told him. Mirabel’s voice softened as she leaned over and wrapped me in a quick hug. “She’s the strongest person I know,” she said. “She turned all that pain into being the smartest, kindest person in any room.” I smiled—a small, genuine, slightly sad smile. “I just got lucky with Mirabel. She found me during freshman year, dragged me into her study group, and refused to let me disappear.” I squeezed her hand gently. “She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

I raised her eyebrows at him. “What about me? I asked softly “The best thing that ever happened and I never realized it until you were gone ,” he whispered. “Yes, it was all my fault and yet I was trying to blame it all on you .”It’s . . . it’s . . .” He floundered for a few moments before inhaling deeply. “It’s everything, isn’t it? It’s the quiet dinners when not much gets said. It’s hearing your laughter in my head when I see Allessa giggling. It’s seeing the love in your eyes when you watch our baby sleep. It’s watching the sun rise in your smile and set in your tears. It’s the contentment in seeing you eat and sleep , make everything about i and my business matter to you. It’s the small

My voice cracks as I get up from my seat, still not looking at his face, struggling to hold back my tears, “You are the best thing that ever happened to me. Thank you for everything.” And I love you more than anything in the world.

I know he would not stop asking me about what’s bugging me, so I decided to tell him, ” You said that loving me is just the second best thing that happens to you. ”Oh, is that it?” he let go of that sexy giggle, ”but that’s the truth.” ”See that?” I squinted at him as I stomped my foot, ” You know I did not like it, but you still repeated it.” ”Love,” he touched my face and made me look at him, ”the first best thing that happened to my life was when I met you.” ”That’s corny, Mr. Cordoval!” I rolled my eyes, but the truth is, I couldn’t hide my smile.

"Why are you always so nice to me? He asked and I smiles. This time I was not thinking of what could or could not happen I have given up on believing that he could ever say anything towards the direction I am hoping he would. "You are my best friend Myles, the best thing that has ever happened to me, and if I am to come back to this world a million times, I would still want to have you in my life, and if not for little obstacles, we could have been better off as more than Friends". I finally said it, and I heaved a sigh of relief. I didn't want to look at him, for I know, he might be shocked. He was about to answer me, when I heard Darius's voice behind me.
