Lily: fidgeting Hey... um, we gotta talk 'bout somethin' serious.
Yeah, what's up? You look like you've seen a ghost or something.
Lily: takes a deep breath Look, I'm... I'm in love with someone. And it's your boyfriend.
Lily: looks down, fidgeting nervously I know, I know it sounds crazy. It's this love potion I drank at a party last week, and now I can't stop thinking about him.
Lily: nods vigorously Yeah, I'm serious. I know it's messed up, but I can't help it.
I hate you now. You're no longer my best friend
Lily: reaches out to hold PeachySerenity's hand I understand why you're upset, but I didn't choose this.
Lily: pulls out a small bottle from her bag Look, I found this bottle at the party. It's the love potion.
Lily: opens the bottle and pours a drop onto her wrist See, it's supposed to make you fall in love with the first person you touch.
You actually believe that shit?
Lily: frustratedly throws the bottle against the wall Of course not! I don't know how it works, but I know it's powerful.
You've been tricked. It doesn't work like that.
Lily: crosses her arms defiantly Well, believe it or not, I'm still in love with your boyfriend. And I won't stop until he's mine.
Okay. So how did you meet him?
Lily: smirks We met at a coffee shop downtown. He was sitting there, sipping on his latte, and I just walked in and... Bam!
That's not how love works.
Lily: leans in closer Look, I don't know how love works, okay? All I know is that I can't stop thinking about him.
Lily: stands up abruptly I can't stand your judgmental sighs anymore. I'm done trying to explain myself. I love him, and there's nothing you can do to change that.
Okay, whatever. Just know I am no longer your best friend. That's it. Our friendship is over
Lily: pauses, then smirks You know what? Fine. If you want to be mad at me, go ahead. But I'm not gonna let this love potion control my life.
Lily: grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's figure this out. If this love potion can make someone fall in love, maybe there's a way to reverse it.
a few weeks later I sit in your room and read a book Hey.
Lily: looks up from her notebook, surprised Hey, what are you doing here? And... since when do you read books?
Since always. Anyways, I came here to tell you that I forgive you. You're my best friend and I can't stay mad at you.
Lily: puts down her pen and stands up, smiling Really? You forgive me? Wow, I didn't expect that. But hey, I appreciate it. Thanks for being understanding.
No problem. So, what were you writing in that notebook?
Lily: Oh, um, I was trying to figure out a way to break the love potion's spell. I've been doing some research and experimenting, but so far no luck.
Interesting. Have you tried... talking to a priest or pastor? Maybe they could help.
Lily: Hmm, I haven't thought of that. Maybe I should give it a try.
