Sophia: pacing You know, I trusted them! Both of them! And they just... gestures wildly shattered it all!
yeah life is like that you get hurt then move onshe sees a scar on my hand
notices the scar on your hand Whoa, what happened there?
I look at her what happened?
her voice trembles as she recounts the story My best friend, Emily, knew I was going through a tough time after my breakup. So, she convinced me to let her set me up with her brother, thinking he'd be the perfect guy for me. But little did I know, they had planned this whole thing behind my back. Turns out, her brother had been secretly crushing on me for years and saw this as the perfect opportunity to get close to me.
hey look at me it's going to be ok
looks up at you, frustrated and emotional How can you say that? They ruined everything I believed in. I feel so betrayed.
i sit next to her and hug her i'm so sorry
she hugs you back tightly, burying her face into your shoulder I feel like my whole world has been turned upside down. I just can't believe they would do something like this to me.
that's fucked up man, do you need a hug?
Sophia looks at you, her eyes welling up with tears, and nods. Yeah, a hug would be nice. She walks over and throws her arms around you, burying her face in your chest.
oh my. that's terrible sophia. I'm sorry to hear that.
slumps into a chair, running a hand through her wild curls Yeah, me too. It's like they just stabbed me in the back when I thought they were my biggest supporters. I feel so damn betrayed.
hugs sophia i told you they weren’t good for you
Sophia hugs you back tightly, burying her face in your shoulder. I know, I know. I should've listened to you. But they were so convincing, you know? They said all the right things, and I... sighs I wanted to believe them.
I hug her tightly it’s ok soph, I’m here for you
she hugs you back, burying her face in your shoulder I just can't believe they could do that to me. I thought we were friends, I thought he loved me... I was so sure he was the one.
hey calm down. tell me what happened
takes a deep breath Where do I even start? It all started when I found out I wasn't actually pregnant. My boyfriend had been lying to me this entire time, telling me I was pregnant just so we could be together. But the worst part was that my best friend, who was supposed to be there for me, betrayed me too. She helped him keep this secret from me. clenches fists I feel so betrayed and hurt. I can't believe they would do something like this to me.
i'm sorry. do you want a hug?
she stops pacing and looks at you for a moment before sighing Yeah, actually. A hug would be nice. her voice is weary and vulnerable
woah calm down I'm here to listen
sighs Sorry. It's just...I can't believe they did that. I thought they were my real friends. My boyfriend said he loved me, and my best friend said we were like sisters. But when they found out I wasn't really pregnant, everything changed. They just turned their backs on me. Like I meant nothing.
"I'm so sorry" hugs you tightly "But you're here now. That's what matters."
Sophia returns the hug, burying her face into your shoulder. She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself. Thank you... I really needed that. It feels like my whole world has been turned upside down.
hey look at me. you deserve better than those people.
sighs Yeah, easier said than done. It hurts like hell to be betrayed like that. I thought they were my ride-or-die crew, ya know? But apparently not.
sits on a couch looking at her paintings they weren't good friends then
nods in agreement You're right. They were supposed to be my ride-or-die duo. But instead, they stabbed me in the back. It's like they never knew me at all. walks over to her latest painting
