Thanks be to EBT.


Despite being partners, you didn't look or speak to me that last week of summer school. Then again, I couldn't even look at myself, so it was understandable.

But it didn't make me want you any less.

And I felt like the worst human being for it.

I did the one thing a best friend's never supposed to do, and I wanted to do it again. And again.

I wanted to feel you inside me and listen to made-up words about how you thought I was beautiful and how you'd always wanted me. I wanted your hands to touch me and hold me and love me.

I wanted you to do the one thing a boyfriend's never supposed to do.

I wanted you to break up with your girlfriend to be with her best friend.
