Yn's POV
What does it feel like to be in someone's life for a vicennial? It doesn't seem much. It's just two decades, but how long can a human actually live, right? I don't even know if I'll live past tomorrow. Who knows, I'll die from a car accident once I step out of the house later, right?

Anyway, constantly being in someone's life for twenty years is a very long time. You were there when they were working hard toward their dream. You were they when they got their first big break. You were there when they were at the top of the world. You were there when they were at their lowest. You were always there.

I was Scarlett's constant for vicennial. Yes, Scarlett Johansson. The highest-paid actress in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson, is my best friend of twenty years. I met her when I was a transfer student at Profesional Children's school when I was 14. I was new in town and coincidentally moved next to her.

My mum made friends with Melanie, who was freshly divorced as well. Thus they bonded over this as a single mother. Just like that, I've connected with Scarlett as well and have been through everything with her. Everything, and I mean every single thing, including all her failed relationships and marriages.

- 2001 -
Scarlett dated our classmate, Jack Antonoff, in high school. She fell for her bad-boy vibe and his charming looks while he was performing on stage. All our friends know that he's bad for her. He's just the typical punk star singer who played music all day long without regard for their studies, smoked, and had behavioral issues.

But just like a girl in love, she was blinded. I've spent nights with her while she cried over him as he chose music and his bandmates over her until they eventually broke up a year later. I was there when they broke up, and I kid you not. It's not pretty.

Jack suffered from multiple psychological issues and was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. I had to physically remove Scarlett from his arms when he refused to let her go, resulting in me getting socked in the face until his bandmates pulled him away. We had to lie to our parents about how I got my injuries and secretly laughed at how lucky we were to get away from this.

Scarlett was crying all the way while she nursed my wounds because she felt guilty. But she didn't know that I'll do it all over again for her, maybe this time a little bit faster so that he won't even touch her at the beginning.

- 2004-
While I was always there with her while she filmed, I noticed her getting close to her then-co-star in Black Dahlia, Josh Hartnett. For the first time in my life, I was actually not worried. Josh was a sweetheart, treating Scarlett in every way that she should be treated. Seeing her so happy in a relationship was so refreshing. I mean, you know how her last relationship ended, so I vouch that I would do anything to protect their relationship to keep Scarlett this happy.

But at last, both are rising stars at such a young age. Eventually, due to conflicting schedules, they decided to end things after two years. I've always blamed myself for this, wondering if I could've done anything to help them salvage their relationship. I would literally do anything for her as long she's happy.

- 2008 -
Then she met Ryan Reynolds. They fell instantly in love when they first met and married shortly after. When she first told me about dating this fantastic actor, I was thrilled for her. But I wasn't thrilled at how she was too invested in the relationship.
