When Your Best Friend Betrays You 소설 & 이야기

She finally got a grip of herself and inhaled a lot of air before she spoke up. "I am sorry I laughed so much. I did not know what to do. You know, it's funny for you to think that way darling. Why would I betray our relationship as friends and then hook up with Lance?" "Betray? An incoming betrayal from a friend doesn't need to be announced publicly. With what I have gone through, it's hard to trust anyone especially a best friend. They are ones worst enemy." I scoffed and thought aloud in my head.

She spent the whole night drinking with her heartbroken childhood friend. She left me alone in that cold ward to endure the agony of fractured bones. Back then, I still held onto a sliver of hope. I thought she was only confused for a moment. Now, I finally understood that it wasn't a coincidence. It was a deeply rooted pattern. In her world, Chris would always come first. Every little thing about him mattered more than my life. I was always the one who could be sacrificed and overlooked. From now on, I would stop compromising.

"How did you feel when I came to you and cried about rejection after rejection? Was it funny to know that you were the reason behind all of it?" He tries to speak, but the words seem to get stuck in his throat. His hands tremble, and he looks more pathetic than I've ever seen him. But my sympathy has vanished and all I'm feeling is anger. "I never meant to hurt you." "Sure." I nod and raise my seat because I can't stand to be close to him any longer. "But you did hurt me, intentionally or not. And I hope that money or whatever reward he promised you was worth losing me and everything we had together." And before he gets to speak again, I leave. walk away without looking back, my heart heavy

I knew how much she needed someone to make her feel safe. And my father… he had given her that. I hated him too. I hated both of them. I sat there on the side of the road, crying until my makeup ran and my throat burned, the engine still running, the world outside the car completely unaware that my entire life had just shattered. How could my best friend betray me like this? How? I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know if I could ever look at her the same way again. But one thing was certain.

I sighed, looking at the screen. “If I knew she hated me so much, I wouldn’t have kept her close,” I said, a lump forming in my throat. It always hurt me when I thought about how someone I thought was my best friend could betray me so easily without blinking an eye. Was I meant not to have any friends? Would they all end up betraying me as well? Perhaps I should never have any friends in this lifetime. I glanced at Carla and immediately took back my words. At least she was different and genuine. No one can do without friends… you just need to find the right ones who would have your best interest at heart.

I lash out angrily at him. “Seriously Brian?” He asks in a serious voice “ are you seriously trying to turn this in me” he questions and my jaw drops in shock. “You know what?” I finally muster the courage to speak up after snapping out of my state of momentary shock. “I am done with this conversation” I inform before bouncing the call on him because I can’t imagine that my best friend of all people is blaming the situation on me and supporting the person that betrayed my trust instead. “Is this really what friendship is about” I hiss as I dump my phone on the chair to focus on getting myself home in one piece.

It was a story I had been oblivious to, a tale of betrayal and manipulation that stained the foundation of my friendships. My voice remained subdued, lost in the sea of realization. Rylie, my lifelong companion, had betrayed me. The memories we had woven together, the moments we had shared, all tainted by her lies. Doubt tugged at my heart, but a voice within urged me to believe Lex's account, compelling me to face the painful truth.

"So...do you hate him?" His eyes wandered back to mine and he half shrugged. "Trust me I do. But on the hand I don't because we were bestfriends from diapers," he paused, taking another huge gulp before lightly slamming the can on the table and continuing, "did you ever feel the betrayal of your own bestfriend who was supposed to burn down the world for you? But what does he do instead? Fuck my boyfriend under my nose and appear like nothing happened. Damn, this world is truly fucked."

“You knew. You saw everything.” I nodded. “Yes. I saw them. I was there before you,” I bit out, my throat tightening. “I saw everything. I saw them fooling around. I saw Zachary making a fool out of me. And then I saw you see it too. And you know what hurt most?” She shook her head frantically. “No—listen to me, Mads you—” “No. You listen to me. You saw them and walked away, and never told me. You betrayed me, Lenny. You're my best friend. How could you!"

And now Mercy, my best friend has betrayed me. How much longer could I keep Leonard in the dark? How much longer until everything crumbled?
