We could have been best friends, Beky Cybille [online e book reader .TXT] 📗

see how you were doing, I heard you've done a lot even after...."

I smiled bitterly. "My unsuccessful suicide?" He flinched at my blunt words. "Yeah, I never meant for that to happen, I mean no one did...."

I rolled my eyes. "I know they just wanted me to wallow alone, and take everything thrown at me without any consequences for them. Understandable. We can be selfish once in a while can't we?" He grimaced at the familiar words.

'We can be selfish once in a while, can't we?'

It's just what he told me when I complained to him about Jessica, when he began going out with her. He always had a crush on him and it killed me, I think I killed our friendship too. I don't know whether it was wrong, or right of me to ask him to break up with her.

I still don't know till this day.

"I-" He groaned running his hand through his hair while I tried not to notice his flexing muscles. "I know, I messed up big time. But I want to make it up to you, be there for you. Your mom is worried about-"

I narrowed my eyes. "-Wait, when did you see my mother?" His mouth opened and close like a fish before he relented. "During one of my games, she approached me."

"Exactly why? Doesn't she know you played a part in all this?" I said harshly. He sighed. "How can she when you never said a thing?" I felt my nose flare in anger. "Are you blaming me, on how the bullying went too far?"

"No no." He shook his head in panic. "A friend, she said you needed a friend. You've been burying yourself in work, pushing people away. She's worried about your health, your mental health. Anaya, you need someone there for you."

I sneered standing. "And you're the one? One of the causes in the first place."

"Yes, I'm going to become your friend, be there for you, and drag you to parties, to socialize." He stood towering over me.

"Whether you want my friendship, or not."

It wasn't an empty promise either, and I guest after a long while. I finally found fun, and true friendship.

True friends, one who sticks around and picks up the pieces. They could be your previous friends you went to school with, a fall out friend, or simply you're rival and enemy.

You simply don't know who could end up being your best friend.
