I walked into my room and opened the window since Eden was banging on it. I always let Eden sneak into my house whenever she needed to talk to me about something or when she just wanted to come over.

She climbed in and almost tripped, "Hey."

I nodded, "Hi."

"Did you hear about the whole Andie situation? About Sal too? I mean what are we going to do with Felicity we have to—"

"Oh shut up about the case! All of you only talk about the case! It's been a few days. You'll all forget about it years later. Everyone except for Felicity." I said her name like it was a curse. I always had to pretend to like Felicity.

Felicity was Eden's friend. But before she was there it was me. Now every time something happens with Felicity she comes to me for advice. I don't care about how Felicity feels. Nobody does. Except for Eden.

"Right, okay. But minus the uh—the case thing, I need to talk to you about something. Like something serious." She cleared her throat and sat down on my spinning chair, spinning in it.

"Shoot it."

"I—as you know I recently came out to you about how I feel, thank you for being supportive by the way. I just wanted to say thanks for that." She looked down.

I nodded while I was on the bed, "Is that it?"

She shook her head, "I like you Brooklyn," She paused and continued to look down, "Like, like you. More than a friend." She looked up at me, biting the inside of her cheek like she was studying my reaction.

"No." I blurted out.

"No? I—what do you mean—" I wouldn't even let her finish her sentence.

"I mean no. You don't like me like that! It's all in your head! If you like anyone you like Felicity! I always hear you talking about her and how much you try to help her! But what about me Eden. What about the girl who's always been there for you!" I felt my voice crack mid-sentence, "You—I—Did she even care for you when you came out to her?" Tears formed in my eyes.

"Brooke, you're the only girl I've had a crush on! I've never like Felicity! I promise you—"

"I don't care if I'm the only girl you've liked Eden. I'm not even into girls! I already knew this would happen—"

"Wait," She cut me off and furrowed her brows, "You mean to tell me you never trusted me?"

"I never—"

"Oh, but you did." She let out and unhumored laugh, "You said you knew this would happen. You think just because I'm into girls I would go for you too next? Right. Noted." She shook her head and crossed her arms, she walked over to the window and slammed it shut behind her.

Fuck. I lost my only friend because I couldn't contain my thoughts. I just made the worst mistake someone could ever made, she trusted me. I was the only one she told. Now I screwed it up completely. But maybe, I should know, it was for the better.  Maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore. Maybe she's just going to replace me with Felicity. Oh not maybe, she will.
