When U Need A Friend Novels & Stories

“Can I ask… has anything happened recently that might’ve made you feel unsafe?” I nodded, just once. He didn’t ask what. He didn’t push, he just paused and gave me a moment. “Have you been able to talk to anyone about it?” he asked gently. “Like a counselor, or even a trusted adult?” I shook my head. “No one because there is nothing to talk about..” He smiled softly and rubbed my hand gently. “What about your friends?,” he said. “Having friends is to share your problem….it matters more than most people realize, but sometimes,” he continued, his tone never shifting, “we also need someone who isn’t in our personal circle. Someone trained to help us carry what’s heavy.”

“But I also know you probably need a friend right now more than ever.” Something bitter twisted inside me. A friend? Isn't it funny coming from him? Because when I actually needed my friends, they weren’t there. When I was drowning, everyone stepped back. And now he wanted to come close. To do what exactly? “When I needed a friend,” I said coldly, “you weren’t there.” Julian went quiet. I stood up and walked toward the window, my grip tightening around the phone. “So now,” I continued, “I don’t need anyone anymore.”

When I was young I always seek for attention from all the people that I know they have interest in me, at a young age I know how to know if someone needs you or they just want to be friends with you It's really hard for me to have a real friend because i am crazy rich and all of them want to have the spotlight and money that i have It's frustrating for me to watch them walk away from me after they get what they want In other words, they took advantage of my kindness

"Looks like you're the smart one here. By the way, you didn't tell me why you got transferred to this city while you're living in a vacation place." "Why do you want to know?" "Aren't we friends? Friends should get to know each other." "When did we become friends?" "Since i helped you to get to the school on your first day, you're my friend now." "I don't want to be your friend." "But I want to. Since I'm always surrounded by my kind. I always wanted a human friend." "Talk to me while you're surrounded by your friends. I'll become your friend." "You know that I can't do that."

She chatted to me all the way there, relaying stories about sharks and turtles and one about her friend’s dad who missed a step and had to go to the first aid station to have his ankle wrapped. She told me the story from start to finish, including how the dad loved cycling and how sad her friend was that they weren’t able to go cycling together that next weekend. “They go every weekend, mommy. It’s their thing and they couldn’t do it.” Heart wrenching sadness flashed in her eyes. It was only there for a moment, but it bugged me. Was she sad because her friend hadn’t been able to go cycling with her dad for one weekend, or because she never would?

But here he was, offering friendship when I needed it most. *Thanks,* I typed back simply. *I could use a friend right now.*

She patted my back and sighed. “I’m going to tell you something that I probably should have told you a while ago, but I didn’t want to upset you. Are you ready?” she asked, pulling away and looking at me. She looked directly into my eyes like she was looking for any sign that I might object. When I didn’t, she continued. “Needy is a bad friend. She’s always been a bad friend. She has never treated you well, in my opinion. But that doesn’t need to ruin the amazing time we are going to have together! Because let me tell you, I would never do that sort of thing to you, ever. That’s cruel. I just want to have fun with my friend and do normal girl things without stress. Sound good?”

"My breath's gettin' short and I'm unsteady Wellin' up in tears as I lay upon your belly Telling you, "I'm fine I don't really need nobody" But you say through a sigh That I said that lie already~" To think of it, I don't have much friends even in the province. I'm picky when it comes to someone that I will trust. "I just needed company now Yeah, I just needed someone around Yeah, I don't care what song that we play Or mess that we make Just company now Comfort crowd~" I smile as I think of what bond I will make with my brother. I was also thinking on opening the topic about our parents.

He really needs to. "But you know, there is a good chance of making friends. That is why I also think what you are doing today is right and just." Marco said, laughing. "In this way, if your closest friend is not here or unavailable, you can still ask for help from others. Trust me, it is useful, and you will be able to use it." he added. Steven nods his head. "I also think that you are right. I am starting it today." he shared.

"Every human needs a friend, someone who can curse the people who hurt you more than you do, someone who will want to hurt the people who hurt you more than you do, someone who will make you laugh in situations you know nothing other than crying, someone who can listen to your nonsense overthinking imaginations. Just someone!"[Jacqueline] [Jacqueline's POV]
