I wanna ruin our friendship, we should be lovers instead
Elise is going to die.
She had invited Amara over to her place to hang out and stay the night. It had only been a day since Aaron moved out, and she was already feeling lonely, so she texted Amara and she had agreed.
It just so happened that Elise decided to finally do something about their "will they, won't they" situation. And of course she decided to do it through karaoke, she liked singing, she was good at it, she chose it thinking singing her feelings out would make it easier.
It didn't, it's only making her more nervous.
'Your turn,' Amara said, handing the mic back to her.
Elise cleared her throat and gave Amara what she hoped looked like a confident smile.
Jenny, darling, you're my best friend.
Alright, here she goes.

Okay, it-

Huh?
We should be lovers instead

Suffice to say, they were no longer just "friends" fifteen minutes later.
