You can barely contain your excitement as you open a message from Lana. It's an invitation to dinner. You've had a crush on her since you met, but she's dating Jack Donoghue, oh how you hate that man. It's not that he's done anything to you personally, but he doesn't treat her good enough- always dropping her hand as they walk through a doorway or flirting with other girls- if you ever got a chance with Lana you'd treat her like a queen. You quickly reply and accept her invitation. She'll pick you up at 8:30. She says she just wants to talk to you because she has some stuff going on and needs to vent- if that's okay with you, you tell her of course and you'll always be there for her. You pick out a cropped top and ripped jeans as per Lana's request to dress casually. You glance at the time and see that it's already 8:16, you take out your purse and apply some light makeup. You spray some perfume on your neck and wrists before examining yourself in the nearest mirror. Perfect. Checking the time again, you note that you have 5 minutes before she arrives. Just enough time to pick out a pair of shoes. Since you're dressing casually, you pick out some air forces and decide they're perfect for your outfit. You grab your purse that holds your phone and walk out the door to see Lana's car parked in your driveway. You quickly walk over and open the door before sliding into the passenger side.

"Hey Lana!" You greet her.

"Hi Y/N! How have you been?" She responds.

"I've been okay! What about you?"

"I've been alright I guess." She replies.

"Lana. Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. We can talk more at the diner." She answers.

"Okay, sounds good. By the way, which diner are we going to?" You ask, trying to change the subject.

"It's called Rae's Restaurant, I've never been there before but I've heard good things." She responds.

"Oh okay, thanks for this by the way, we haven't hung out in a while."

"Of course, I've missed you."

Lana starts the car and begins driving towards Rae's. It's a relatively short drive, about 10 minutes. She parks the car and you both step out of the car before heading into the building.

"Table for two please," Lana requests.

"Right this way!" The hostess guides us to our booth in the corner.

We both slide one side of the booth and Lana quickly gets serious.

"Uhh can we talk in the restrooms? They're more private than this." She asks.

"Of course, I'll meet you there in a few minutes." You reply

She walks to the back and finds her way to the ladies room and you follow in a few minutes. You twist the doorknob and as the door clicks shut behind you, you feel a pair of arms wrap around you.

"He cheated on me." Lana is in tears and burying her face in your chest. "He was fucking another woman almost the whole time we were together."

You quickly hug her back and hold her tight.

"My fucking God Lana I'm so sorry. You didn't deserve that. I don't even know what to say."

"I'm sorry I don't know why I brought you here just to sob in the bathrooms, I guess I just didn't want to invite you back to the house and didn't want to invite myself over to yours."

"Hey don't apologize. It's fine I don't care where we are as long as you're okay." You tell her.

"I love you so fucking much you don't understand." She whispers.

"I love you way more trust me." You reply.

"I'm so lucky to have you." She tells you.

"I'm way luckier to have you."

You hold her tight for a few seconds before letting go and gazing into her eyes. Her emerald green eyes. Tears all over but that almost makes them more beautiful. You wipe a tear from her cheek and kiss her forehead. That's always been a way of comforting her. You don't know why but it always seems to help.

"I wish he cared about me the way you do." She whispers.

           You hold her tight in your arms and her breathing seems to calm down slightly.

"You wanna go back to my place? It's more private there and maybe we can watch a movie or something to get your mind off of this." You offer.

"I'd love that. Thank you." Lana replies.

           You and Lana walk out of the restrooms, drawing the attention of a few customers. Lana's face is still red from crying. You both get into her car, this time you're in the drivers seat so that Lana doesn't have to drive. You pull out of the parking lot and start heading towards your house.

The drive is mostly silent the whole time and you pull into your driveway without saying another word. You and Lana step out of the car as she examines the exterior of your house, becoming familiar with it. You both walk up to the door and you slip your key into the lock, twisting it and finally opening your door. You keep your house tidy all the time, so even though this was short notice, you're not embarrassed that you didn't clean right before.

"Thank you again for this, it means so much." Lana says quietly.

"Of course. Anything for you. Just make yourself at home, there are snacks in the kitchen and you can take whatever you like." You tell her.

Lana ends up staying with you for a few months. Your friendship grows even stronger and the crush that you once had is gone and you see her as a very close friend.
