~Better This Way~

I stood outside his door picking at my fingers nervously. How the fuck am I supposed to do this? How is he going to react?

It seemed so hard at the time, but thinking back on it, I'm glad it happened the way it did.

I knocked on the door, and he told me to come in. He was standing by a mirror braiding his hair. Not very well. I smiled and told him I could take care of it for him. I grabbed the brush and brushed out his hair.

Maybe I shouldn't.

I'm glad I did.

"Hey Ed?"

"Yeah?"

"We need to talk."

"Then talk."

"We need to break up."

It didn't go completely as planned but it worked out the best it could've. I mean, it was the right thing to do. We were both struggling and afterwards, everything was easier. We were best friends. We still are. Sometimes it's better this way.
