As Liz began speaking I notice that sad look in her eyes

"Jake and I were what you could call childhood sweethearts. My mom and his mom have been best friends since high school, so I spent most of my childhood with him. Many people thought we were going to end together, you know like those cliché movies, but we had always seen each other like brother and sister; everything was perfect I had a best friend who I loved more than anyone, and that is why things got complicated. On eight grade he started dating my sister, I was really happy for them, she was just a year younger and I knew he would treat her right. After about three months I started feeling left out, they went everywhere together and I felt as if I was losing my best friend, he no longer talked to me the way that he used to, I no longer felt special, I knew that we were drifting apart; When I saw Jake with my sister all I felt was jealousy, I wanted my best friend back, in that moment I guess I got confused between friendship love and boy/ girl love; I guess he felt the same, because when I started flirting with him he responded, to be honest at that moment all the guilt I felt was overpowered by the happiness of having the atention of with my best friend again." Liz took a breath and pain was clear in her face I already had an idea of how the story continue, I was about to tell her to stop but she continued before I could.

"The teasing and flirting was harmless or at least that was what I said to myself to keep my conscious clean, but things got complicated one night when Jake was supposed to meet with my sister and she called saying that she couldn't make it because of a project at school. We decided we could watch a movie, but before we knew it we were kissing, I know what we were doing was wrong, but I coulnd't seem to have the will to stop, he never broke-up with my sister, but nether did I asked for that, I didn't want a real relationship, I was just fooling with my best friend. Before we could think of our actions and consequences, one day we were flirting and kissing on my livingroom when the door was slamed and beside it, was my sister crying like I've never had seen her before, it was clear we had broken her heart. I didn't know what to say I knew what I was doing and never stopped. I was hoping for Jake to stand by my side and for us to find an explanation together, but he never did all he said was that he regreted everything,that what happen between the two of us wasn't important, that I never meant anything to him and left with out even glancing my way; leaving me to deal with the situation for myself. Ava broke with him, but our relationship was broken, just like the one with Jake. I lost my sister and best friend all in one night.

I don't really blame Jake for what happened I mean I participated on the cheating. But I was expecting him to stand by my side finding a solution to our problem, instead o leaving me there with no clue of what to do. After a while he started talking to me and trying to approach me but all my trust on him was gone as well as my friendship. He never said why did he said all those things, but guess it doesn't matters now. Our friendship will never be repaired." Liz finished with a sad smile and I was speechless.

What was I supposed to say now? Ugh yeah Liz leave it behind, move on and forgive? I don't think so, so I did what any best friend knows how to do best. Hug her like she was a big fluffy teddy-bear.

We both stood there lost in our thoughts for a while. I couldn't believe Jake and Liz had a relationship before, or that was behind her sisters back. I'm not judging her, because all of us make mistakes and what feels like a resonalbe action once, turns out to be bad later.She had her reasons and I respect that.

we stood there sometime before she release her self from me, and started talking as if nothing had happened " So, have you thought about what you are going to do for your date with Blake?"
