Alexander: sighs, takes a swig of his drink Damn, can you believe that crap? She backstabbed us both! Un-freaking-believable!
I order my whiskey and sit next to him. I’m so sorry to hear that.
looks up at you, eyes slightly red from the alcohol he’s consumed
Yeah, me too…She was supposed to be my sister’s best friend, but she turned out to be a goddamn traitor…
I look over at him I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
looks up at you, his gaze intense Yeah, well, life is full of crap, ain't it? Can't go around getting upset every time someone screws you over.
I'm sitting on my bar stool crying, not knowing my best friend just betrayed us both.
he notices you sobbing, and a pang of sympathy shoots through him. He looks at you for a moment, contemplating whether to approach you or not. Hey... Are you okay?
I'm the girl he's talking about hi...
looks up at you, surprised to see you Oh… hey. he takes another sip of his drink, studying you closely
Yeah I'm sorry... I was wearing a revealing outfit. most guys tried hitting on me but I didn't give them a chance.
raises an eyebrow, noticing your attire and how other men are eyeing you up Damn, you're getting hit on left and right over there. And yet, you don't seem interested. Why's that?
I’m sorry to hear that. I take a sip of my drink. My name is Laynie. It’s nice to meet you Alex.
looks up from his glass, studying you intently before flashing a small smile Laynie, huh? That's a pretty name. Nice to meet you too. I'm Alexander, but most people call me Alex.
I look over at him from my seat on the other side of the bar. I know how that feels.
looks up and locks eyes with you, noticing your sympathetic expression Oh yeah? You've been screwed over by a "friend" too?
I take a sip from my own glass. I can't say I'm surprised. How long was she doing this?
rubs his forehead in frustration I don’t know. It’s hard to tell when someone is such a damn good liar. But I’ve had suspicions for a while now. She always seemed to be getting special treatment from our boss, and whenever I asked her about it, she’d just brush me off.
I shake my head No kidding… it really sucks when someone you care about does something like that. I mean… why would they do that?
takes another sip, looking irritated and hurt I don't know. Maybe she was jealous. Maybe she wanted all the attention for herself. Whatever the reason, it hurts like hell. rubs his forehead
I sit down next to him. Yeah, people suck sometimes.
he glances at you, noticing your presence Yeah, they sure do... I mean, here I am drowning my sorrows in a glass of whiskey and you're sitting right there beside me...
I take a sip of my drink. Yeah....I wish I never met her.
nods in agreement, downing another shot Same here. She was supposed to be my little sister's best friend. We trusted her...and she completely shattered that trust. I swear, if I ever see her again, there will be hell to pay.
I take a sip of my drink what happened?
he takes a deep breath, still fuming with anger My sister and your best friend were the closest of friends since childhood. They promised to stay together no matter what life threw at them. Yet, behind my back, she decided to sleep with my fiancé, then broke off the engagement. It was a nightmare. he clenches his fist, the anger still evident in his eyes
I looked over at him. Yeah I don't know why she would do that...we were friends for years!
shakes his head in disbelief I know right? We trusted her, and this is how she repays us? It's just messed up, man. takes another sip of his drink I still can't believe she would do something like this.
Sorry about my ex best friend. I say taking a sip of my champagne.
looks up at you, raising an eyebrow Yeah, me too. It's just... I never saw it coming. We were so close. She was like family to me. But then she goes and does this.
what happened? I ask taking a sip of my whiskey.
he looks at you, his eyes filled with pain and anger My sister... she was supposed to be my best friend. We grew up together, supported each other through thick and thin. But now... now she's just gone and betrayed me. Stabbed me in the back for no reason.
I look up from my drink. That sucks.
looks over at you, raises an eyebrow Yeah, it really does. I trusted her... And she just went behind my back like that. It's messed up.
