I typed furiously on my laptop, writing down the draft of my new report. My phone buzzed, vibrating on my desk next to my laptop. I picked it up and checked the caller ID. It was Andy.
"Andy?"
Sob.
My heart skipped a beat. "Andy? Are you okay?"
But she just sobbed.
"Andy, please tell me what's wrong?"
I heard her sniff and then say in a throaty voice, "Al."
"Al what?"
She broke into another sob and whispered, "Cheated on me."
Well...fuck.

I opened the door and found Ryan standing, panting.
"Where's she?" he asked hoarsely.
"In her room," I said, stepping aside. He rushed inside to Andy's room. I sighed as I walked to her room. I heard Andy crying all over again and as I walked in, I found the two best friends hugging each other tightly. Ryan stroked her hair gently as he murmured something quietly to her while Andy sobbed bitterly. She was sitting on her bed while Ryan was on his knees. I sat on a chair opposite them and watched them. Ryan cupped her face and said, "It's okay, Andy. He'll pay for this. Don't worry." And then again he embraced her. I sighed and wondered. Why the fuck did Andy go for Al when Mr Right was standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER? It frustrated me and every time I asked Andy, she would stare me, surprised and say, "He's my best friend, Zoe." Right.
Ryan stood up as he took out his phone, making me snap out of my train of thoughts. "I'm gonna fuck that guy up."
"Tried and failed. His phone is switched off," I said.
"What about his apartment?" He asked.
I shrugged. "Didn't go there, yet."
Ryan was about to go, but Andy took his hand as she stared the mat under her feet. "Leave him be."
Ryan sighed, "Andy, stop def-"
"No, I'm not defending him. It was his choice. And I accept it."
A heavy lump formed in my throat as I got up, sat beside her and hugged her. The sobbing began again.

Ryan and I watched Andy's peaceful face, as she slept soundly, from our couch at the living room. I sighed for the millionth time and groaned. "It's gonna be so hard to help her move on. And also her birthday's coming."
"Yeah," Ryan said, quite distracted as he stared at Andy. I watched him, as I secretly hoped that he had feelings for her. But even if he did, how could I possibly make Andy fall for him? I mean, it's not like that Ryan is ugly or something. He's pretty good looking with his crooked smile, blonde hair and charming personality. The three of us have been friends since kindergarten, but Ryan and Andy, they were inseparable. As a kid, I'd be jealous of Ryan because Andy would tell him everything first before me. But I loved the both of them anyway. They were always there whenever I was stuck with my ridiculous relationship problems. I always found Ryan beside Andy when she was at her worst. I always saw him look at my sister with worry and love. But my sister, you see, she's too dumb to see what was good for her. Instead of going for Mr Right, she went for Mr Perv, Al. Al, God I hated him. He literally gave me a serious need to break his neck. That prick was so dominating and possessive. But Andy LOVED it. Why? "He's funny, Zo, and he's very kind. He just doesn't show it to everyone," she would say. I'd watch Ryan to show any sign of jealousy whenever Andy and Al were together but he would smile broadly at them and appear like the happiest man alive. Ugh. They must have had some awkward lovey-dovey moment, it almost impossible not to have one. Almost. And I hoped so hard that Ryan had feelings for my sister. But I never directly asked him. Obviously he'd deny it. I turned my eyes towards the calendar hanging on the wall opposite us. The picture above the dates was really beautiful. A beautiful beach with some rocks surrounding it, as the water reflected the blue, cloudless sky. It reminded me of Spain. Man, I'd love to got there someday again. I did go there someday on a business trip with Andy. Andy absolutely loved it and she was so reluctant to come back to New York. I smiled at the memory and then it clicked.
