Triggers: angst. player!philip. cussing, idk the rest
Time period: present

" (Y/N), this is Kaya, my girlfriend. Kaya, this is (Y/N), my best friend. "
This is how it had been for months. Every month or two was a new girl in Philip's life and you had to stick to the sidelines and be the best friend.

" Nice to meet you, Kaya. " you stuck your hand out and she quickly shook it, " Nice meeting you too! " she responded, smiling. It almost hurt how nice she was. For another two months, you were kicked to the curb. If you did anything with her and Philip, you'd just be the third wheel, finding other people to talk to when out.

About a week after he broke up with her, he came up to you with someone else.
" (Y/N), this is Allison. Allison, this is (Y/N). "
" Nice to meet you. " you stuck out your hand, but she didn't bother shaking it, " Sure. "
That one lasted for 2 weeks.

As the year progresses, you were sure he had at least 15 girlfriends. Breaking them, only dating for weeks or a few months but enough to make an impact.

As the year progresses, that's not the only thing he was tarnishing. Every week seemed like you grew more unattached to him. You liked- no, loved him. But as he dated more women, the sparks seemed to disappear.

Sighing, you lean your head on your best friend, Theodosia's shoulder. " Theo, I can't do this anymore. It just sucks! I mean, like, why can't he just stop being a fuckboy and settle down! " you exclaimed.

" Like with someone named (Y/N)? " she grinned, and you elbowed her. " Shut up. Seriously, it's just getting tiring being his sidekick. "
Theo had a bigger grin than before. " Find a boyfriend. See what he does. "

Two weeks later you were dating some guy named James. It was nice, but not what you wanted. But good enough. Philip wasn't in a relationship and actively talking to you.

" (Y/N), baby, where you goin'? " he questioned, in front of his dorm room, as you two were going to watch TV. The fact that he called you baby sent shivers down your spine. " Sorry, Philip, I forgot I was going out with James tonight. " you gave a sheepish smile, and he frowned, " Alright, I'll see you tomorrow though, right? " You nodded.

The next week was even worse. Every time he wanted to hang out, you gave an excuse as to why you couldn't. Every time, his bright and radiant smile would quickly dull, at your boyfriend's name.

" Hey, (Y/N), do you think you wanna go out to the zoo this weekend? " Philip hopefully smiled, but it didn't work. " No, sorry, I'm going out with James. "

Philip's pent up anger came out. " Why are you always with him? You can't tell me you're always hanging out with him! "

" What if I am, huh? " you shot back, eyes narrowing.
" I highly doubt it! Why are you avoiding me?! " he yelled, his voice cracking, as he buried his face in his hands.
" I don't know what I've done, but please tell me so I can fix it. " His voice cracked and sounded like he was crying.

Your heart broke. " Philip, baby, oh my god, " you whisper, grabbing him and pulling his hands down. His face was slightly red, the tears dripping. " I'm sorry, " you murmur, wiping his tears. " I just, oh god. I don't hang out all the time with him. I was just so jealous that you were dating girls, and I just wanted you to feel how I felt because I was so angry, " you explain, feeling terrible.

You keep a hand on his cheek, tracing circles, and one around his waist.
" This, is how you've felt..? Oh god.. " he huffed, " I've made a mistake, huh? "
You tilt your head, " What? "

He giggles, " This is gonna sound shitty and cheesy,  but I dated all of them, because I love you. I dated them so I could get my mind off of you. I dated girls longer if they reminded me of you, and man, yeah I was being bad and selfish b-- "

You were laughing. " Oh, my god Philip, you suck! " you exclaim, and he awkwardly laughed.
" I love you, too, " you grin, holding him and peppering kisses all over his face, as he lets out laughs.

" But seriously, c-can we go to the zoo this weekend? " Philip says, " I really wanna go. "
You laugh, " Sure, babe. Can I call you that now? " He grins, " Can I call you muffin, baby, and my girlfriend? "

You giggle, leaning into him. " Yeah. Oh, I gotta tell James we need to break up. "
Philip put a grim face on. " Shit. Well, I guess this is what we have to because I was a slightly salty best friend..? "
" Yup. Now come on boyfriend. "
