Break

We made a pact at age seven that, no matter what, it was us above everything. No dating. And no strawberry milkshakes. Ever. I’ve wanted her since I could remember, and as time goes on I find it impossible to resist her. But one sudden change and I risk losing her completely. She was my best friend and then, she wasn't. Can I keep my friends and protect her at the same time? 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐞 He was my best friend. My protector. No matter how much we wanted to cross the line, break the rules, we couldn’t. And then she came along, blindsiding me, taking what has always been mine. Years of friendship gone in the blink of an eye. He was my best friend and then, he wasn’t. I thought I kept my heart protected, thought we'd only stay friends. But as I look down, holding the broken pieces, I realize I may have already fallen.
