My Best Friend

Like everyone in the whole entire world, I love my best friend. Not romantically, but platonically. I would do anything for her and she would do anything for me. Two peas in a pod. The ying to my yang as some would call it. This is her story. Not mine. I'm the main character's best friend, a side character in someone else's story.

My best friend lives what I call a 'Semi-normal' life. Her mom and brother are the nicest people and her dog is so cute! She's smart in any way you can think of, but can be a bit of an idiot at times. She's very outgoing and is very likable. But something new is a part of her life now. That is what I call her 'love life'.

In her earlier years, she never really thought about love. But life likes to switch things up. Enter her boyfriend. She is madly in love with him. She brings him up in conversations, texts him in the middle of a conversation, and smiles every time she sees him, you know normal lovey dovey stuff. Something I'm not sure I want.

Ever since he came into the picture, I felt replaced... No, not replaced, unimportant. Well, I'm not sure unimportant is the right word either. It's more like she's more concentrated on him. And I understand that, fully.

I'm a nice person, okay? I'm not jealous that she got a boyfriend before me. Like before, I said I'm not sure if I even want a relationship. I just miss her, but the stories are right. In most romance novels, the best friend immediately becomes unimportant when the main character finds her love interest. I just feel like I've been deemed unimportant.

I'm just confused. Why is the best friend always thrown out just like that? They've known the main character for so long! I was the first friend she's ever made! Shouldn't I be a bit more important than her boyfriend? I know that they love each other and he's "the one" for her, but something could happen and I don't want her to get her heart broken.

I just... I don't want to voice my feelings because I'm afraid it will end everything that we've worked for. I say worked for like we are working on something, but it's more like what we've been through together. I love her with my whole heart. I'm just afraid that one day she won't love me with hers.

I love my best friend. Not romantically, but platonically. I would do anything for her and she would do anything for me. Two peas in a pod. The ying to my yang as some would call it. This is her story, never mine. I'm a side character to someone else's story
