it started with a message in a bottle. a vent. a heartbreak.
tears streamed down your face as you felt your chest ache. you knew why but you have yet to let your emotions accept that. you had no chance anyway- it was inevitable.
"[name], tohama and i are dating!" ayaka said with a cheery tone. you already expected this but why did it hurt you so much? after all, she did express how much she loved tohama.
you had to admit that the said blonde was, indeed, attractive. you bit your lip to prevent yourself from crying but failed. ayaka flinched at your reaction and asked if you were alright.
you looked up from your lap and gave her a sad smile, the sun shone causing your tears to glisten.
"of course, ayaka! i'm just so happy for you." were you really though? no, you weren't. ayaka gave a soft smile and lightly chuckled, patting your head.
"i appreciate the reaction, [name] but you didn't have to get this emotional." the light blue haired female spoke. you wiped your tears and sniffed before engulfing your best friend into a hug.
"you'll still hang out with me, right?" you sniffled, burrying your face into her shoulders. ayaka laughed and patted your back, comfortingly. "of course, silly! you're my best friend."
and then you frowned. you were always comfortable with that word but now you hated it with passion.
friends.
nonetheless, you smiled as you gripped onto ayaka tighter, scared she'd disappear if you ever let go.
and that's when you accepted it. you accepted that ayaka now belonged to tohama and that she could never be with you. that she'd only and forever remain as your best friend.
