no ones pov
Hayden has known Taylor since they were in high school together. Ever since they have been inseparable. The girl played the guitar so when Taylor started her singing career she took Hayden with her. They traveled all over the world together and they developed a fuck buddy relationship.
Taylor was too focused on her career to start something serious and also not to mention didn't even know what her sexual orientation was. She was young and wanted some fun, why not do it with your best friend? What could possibly go wrong?
The thing was that Hayden was head over heels for the girl. She folded so quick. She knew that being friends with benefits would turn out bad but come on, it was Taylor, she would do anything for that girl.
Here they are though, over 10 years later still going at it. Of course it would stop whenever Taylor dated someone new. Although most of those relationships were fake so they would still see each other. But when they were real Hayden heart would break every time Taylor would mention anything about it.
Today Hayden texted the girl over to her apartment for dinner. Hayden is gonna come clean to the girl, it was time. She's scared though, not wanting to ruin their friendship. But she had to do it, she couldn't hold it any longer.
It was around 8pm when Taylor walked through the front door, Haydens apartment was like her second home. "Hey, how were you today?" Taylor walked up to Hayden and gave her a hug. Hayden smiled at her before saying "it was alright. I didn't do much." They soon sat at Hayden's dining table. It only sat 4 people so they were sitting in front of each other. They were halfway through dinner having small talk when Hayden decided she was going to bring it up.
"So as much as I love having you here there is a reason I invited you over." She took her glass of wine and chugged what she had left. Taylor have her a confused look "is everything okay?"
"I love you Taylor" Hayden just went for it. "I love you and I have loved you since we were kids. And I know this is going to ruin us but I just have to try. And I know we have to be a secret but I would do anything for you. So please Taylor, let's give this a serious try."
She had tears in her eyes but they wouldn't fall, but when she saw the look on Taylor's face it turned into a waterfall. Deep down she knew she shouldn't do it, deep down she knew Taylor didn't love her like she loved Taylor.
"I'm sorry Hayden. I don't feel the same way, I love you but I only see you as a friend. Yea we have sex but it was only sex. I was actually going to tell you that I had met someone. I've been seeing them for a couple months now. She makes me happy and I think she's it for me. I don't think we should continue this. Im still your friend if you need one. I better get going, I'm sorry."
"So I was just someone to fuck. I didn't mean anything to you? That's fucked up. I think you should go." Taylor grabbed her bag, and walked out. Not before leaving behind the keys to the apartment, she felt she wouldn't be wanted there anymore. And it was true, 10 plus years of friendship down the drain but Hayden didn't care anymore.
5 years later
Hayden met Lily a couple months after she confessed her love for Taylor. At first they girl wasn't ready for anything serious, she needed to get over Taylor first. They were friends for a while until Hayden was ready. Things had gotten serious pretty quick. They were already living together by their one year anniversary and they were engaged by their second.
After their third they welcomed a baby girl, Amelia. They started trying after their engagement but it took a few tries. She was their rainbow baby. Hayden didn't think she could love something so much. She was happy. Now nearing their fifth anniversary, Lily was pregnant again with their last. They decided they only wanted 2, so they each could handle one.
