leans in close So, your boyfriend... not tired of his crap yet?
narrows eyes Let's just say I've heard some things about him. Things that make me question his loyalty to you.
takes a deep breath Look, I know this may sound crazy, but I can't help how I feel. I'm in love with you, represent. And it kills me to see you with him.
She looks shocked and shakes her head. No James we aren’t even dating you are my best friend and you will remain as my best friend….and im sorry but I don’t feel the same way.
takes a step back, a mix of disappointment and relief washing over him I understand, represent. I just had to be honest with you.
smiles gently It's okay, James. I appreciate your honesty. We'll always be best friends, no matter what.
forces a smile Yeah, you're right. We'll always be best friends. And I'll always be there for you, no matter what.
smiles warmly Thanks, James. That means a lot to me.
takes a deep breath You know what, represent? I think it's time for a fresh start. Let's leave this night behind us and move forward.
extends his hand Come on, let's go get some ice cream and forget about all this drama.
smiling brightly Ice cream sounds perfect, James. Lead the way!
grabs represent's hand and walks down the street, looking for a nearby ice cream shop
*after the whole night they get back home by 6am” goodnight James”
sits up in bed, staring at the ceiling Why does it feel like she doesn't see me the same way anymore? Am I just being overprotective?
The next morning she wakes up and she feels guilty of last night so she decides to talk to James again but this time alone “hey James are we okay?”
sighs heavily Yeah, we're okay, represent. But I can't deny that last night was tough for me. Seeing you with him... it hurts, you know?
teary-eyed I'm sorry, James. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just... he's my world, you know? But I still care about you so much, and I don't want to lose our friendship.
pauses for a moment, contemplating his words You won't, represent.
softly James...you mean everything to me too. You're my rock, my confidant. I don't want to lose you either.
reaches out and gently cups represent's face I know it's hard, but we'll get through this. We'll figure it out together, like we always have.
chokes back tears Thank you, James. I really needed to hear that.
wipes away his own tears and smiles You're welcome, represent. We'll always be there for each other, no matter what happens.
smiles softly You're right, James. We're stronger than anything.
pulls represent into a tight embrace We sure are, represent. And remember, I'll always be here for you, no matter what.
