Kassidy sat at her phone, an incoming video call notification appearing on the screen. It was from her best friend [y/n], but she didn't know if she was in the best state to talk to her. She loved you to death, but a part of her envied you.

It wasn't the celebrity boyfriend, the large house, the three dogs, the personal bodyguard, or even the internet fame (whether it be good or bad). There was one thing that her best friend had that she wanted: Sam.

Sure, Sam wasn't actually yours. In fact, he was far from. Your whole heart belonged to Brendon (correction, half of your heart belonged to Brendon. Food filled up the other half).

But whenever Kassidy was with Sam, he only had one topic on his mind: you. If anything, he treated Kassidy as nothing more than a liability or a younger sister. A troublesome thing she was with her jokes, her outgoing personality, and her coffee addiction. She knew that sometimes those things made her seem childish, but that was just who she was. It has gotten to be different lately, though. Sometimes Kassidy wished she was someone else.

She met Sam through you. You had taken her to Screamin' Beans and Steamin' Mugs to show her around your workplace because of her major love for coffee. Sam had come up to talk to you during the visit, and you introduced him.

He was so different than Kassidy. He was contained, calm, supportive, and ambitious. Kassidy was rambunctious, went with the flow, bad at communication, and she had almost no idea what she wanted to do with her life. He seemed like the average person that she couldn't relate to.

But his reaction to one of her jokes was what changed her mind.

She had never intended for such outrageous jokes to be her trademark, but along with her lack of communication skills and nervous habit of spitting out nonsense, it just happened.

Instead of laughing at her, ridiculing her, or judging her, he laughed with her and made a similar joke.

While other people would look at her funny or think she was weird, he went with it and embraced her personality.

And for her, that was way more than she could ask for.

She's had friends like you and Brendon who accept her and find her interesting and genuinely care about her, but no stranger who has, without hesitation, gone along with her joke.

That day, Kassidy had taken an interest in that stranger. Since then she's learned many things about him, about you, and about herself that she would not have known otherwise. She became comfortable living life with you and Sam.

When you and Sam has started dating, she accepted it, deciding that maybe it wasn't meant to be and she would find someone else. But the more the days crept on, the more she felt off. Not like something was missing, but like something was out of place.

When Sam broke up with you, it shifted back into place.

At the time she thought it was because she was happy that her best friend realized her love for Brendon and they were happy together.

But when Sam began to like you again, it shifted out of place again. This time she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to put it it's place and make everything seem right.

Hesitantly, Kassidy accepted the call. "Hey, sorry. I was in the shower." That hadn't been a lie, but it took her longer than she would have liked to decide to pick up the phone.

You sat beside your bodyguard. "In Sam's apartment?"

"The fucker spilled coffee on me, alright? Was I supposed absorb the caffeinated nutrients through my scaly lizard skin?" Again, true, but she didn't know why she had to make a joke out of it. Then again, it was fucking hilarious, but she wasn't one to laugh at her own jokes.

"Uhuh. Of course that's what happened," you answered, looking smug.

Ew! Kassidy couldn't help but think while gagging. I'm a pure Christian child. Aside from the incident two years ago on that kickass fishing trip, I'm a good virgin kid of the Lord. "The guy's 'disco stick' is probably 2cm long, let's be honest here."

Heh heh. Kassidy laughed internally. She prided herself in making jokes referencing her best friend's boyfriend's band.

So the conversation continued until the real subject matter came up. And in this said discussion, it was Sam.
