My Best Friend's Ex

Chapter 1

My phone buzzed waking me up, I checked the time 3:23 am.

"Hello?" I say into the phone.

"Kate? Omg I need you." My best friend Sarah said.

"What's wrong?" I asked, sitting up.

"He. He broke up with me." She cried.

"What?! But I thought he was happy?" I asked in a concerned voice.

"I guess he wasn't. But he told me he just wasn't happy anymore." Sarah said into the speaker.

To: Brad

Why would you break up with Sarah?! Wtf?!

From: Brad

I'm sorry... I just got feelings for someone else. I never knew I could like her. She's perfect. And I don't wanna feel like that to someone else when I have a girlfriend.

To: Brad

Then ask the girl out, and leave Sarah alone.

From: Brad

I can't. She has a boyfriend.

two weeks later

I cried into Sarah's arms as I told her Nick dumped me for a stupid hoe of a cheerleader. Then she got a phone call from her mom saying she had to get home.

I updated on my Facebook that I was single.

From: Brad

Hey, you okay?

To: Brad

No. I'm broken. I hate this. He used my heart then shattered it.

From: Brad

Is your window unlocked?

To: Brad

No, why?

From: Brad

Open your curtain.

I opened my curtains to see Brad with a box of pizza and a big tub of ice cream. I open the window and let him in.

"What are you doing here?!" I ask panicked.

This is my best friends ex boyfriend!

"Well, hello to you to." He grinned. "I thought you'd want some company."

"Well yeah, I guess since you're here." I say sitting on my bed. He sits with me and pulls me into an awkward but comforting hug.

We end up watching Netflix and he lets me pick. I pick The Dangerous Arrangement.

After we finish the pizza, ice cream, and movie he decides he should get ready to leave.

"Kate?" He says.

"Hm?" I reply falling asleep with his arm around me.

"You know how I said I had feelings for someone?" He asks.

"Mmhm." I reply yawning.

He lifts up my chin so I look at him, "it's you." He said.

I look at him like he's lost his mind.

"Brad... You. I. I don't know what to say. You dated my best friend."

"Kate. I know. I'm not saying you have to date me or anything. I, just saying you, I've liked you. And it hurt me to know that Nick hurt you for a cheerleader." He looked at me, tears in his eyes. "You are so much more than what he treated you. And I know I may never get the chance to prove you, that you are so much more, but I want you to know. It's you." He kisses me on the cheek then walks past me.

Without thinking I turn him around and crash my lips into his. I close my eyes thinking he didn't want this, but soon he puts his hands around my waist and leans into the kiss.

Our lips fit perfectly together as our tongues move in sync. We pull away panting, trying to catch our breath.

"Only on one condition." He whispered.

"Anything." I replied.

"Sarah doesn't find out."
