Y/n's POV

Y/f/n started crying, silent tears falling down her face, before she nodded in understanding. Kate smiled and ran over to Trevon, kissing him on the lips.

Y/f/n didn't turn away fast enough before she saw to two of them kissing, and when she did, she let out a huge sob and ran away with tears streaming down her face. 

I hurriedly got up off of the ground where I was sitting and chased her around New York City before she stopped at a coffee shop, ordering a coffee and a pastry. I followed her, and ordering a tea and pastry, getting them before finding her in a booth by a window and sliding into the seat across from her.

We sat in silence and just drank our coffee and ate, not saying anything.

"What am I gonna do Y/n?" Y/f/n suddenly asked me, taking me by surprise.

"Well, what can you do?" I asked her.

"Ugh, I don't know how to do anything anymore. One thing's for sure, I definitely don't want this thing," She then ripped the necklace that Kate had given her and threw it across the room, landing it in the trashcan perfectly.

"Why, Y/n, why? What does Trevon have that I don't got, huh? What makes Trevon so special over me?" Y/f/n questioned, sighing.

"I don't think that it's the good things in Trevon over the bad ones. Come on Y/f/n, you and I both know that Kate was not meant for you, let's just say that pretty much everyone was surprised when you two got together. Y/f/n, we both know that you two weren't going to make it. Honestly, I'm surprised that you two lasted as long as you did.

"Trevon and Kate are two people who will date each other, but constantly cheat on each other and occasionally get together and be a couple. Think of them as a reoccuring one night stand couple. Kate won't stop looking for people to like, boys, girls, whoever suits her cup o' tea. Same goes with Trevon. Y/f/n, you are way too good and nice to be with them, and I think that it's best that you, and we all, just let them go. They were getting distant anyway, let's fully send that train on it's way," I told her truthfully.

She sighed, putting her face in her hands, her elbows propped up by the table. 

"Y/n, why are you so good at this? How long have you been doing this for, 13 years now?"

"And you know what I find that all the people you date have in common?" I asked.

"What?" 

"They all are jerks in the end. They take advantage of your love and use it to get to your other friends so that they can see who to date next, and how to tear apart your friend group. In this case, Trevon was pretty much the only available option, so Kate went for it, digging her hooks into him, and successfully rooting them there.

"What I suggest you do next time, is to get to know them, become their friend and stuff, and then ask them. Not like you did with Kate, an actual friendship, like hang out with them at their place and your place before you decide anything. And, please just look for someone that's nice, and that helps you with things, even just a little bit," I finished.

Y/f/n nodded, and then gave me a small smile that turned into a thoughtful look.

"I'm guessing that you rushed out of the park to come after me, right?" I nodded, making her continue, "So I hope that Logan's okay."

I frowned, thinking,

"I'm pretty sure that before I left I gave Alex his leash, along with Kevin's. They were running around, but I think that with all the screaming they came back to see what was going on, well, at least Logan."

"So, anyway, what is your next plan of action missy? Cause if I remember right, Kate moved in with you about 2 months ago," I asked her.

"I don't know, knowing Kate and Trevon, Kate'll move in with him, so I'll get the apartment to myself,  but I was thinking about getting a new apartment, at least for the time being," Y/f/n said, drinking her coffee.

"Well, I think that we got room at my place for one more if you wanna stay while Kate moves out and you look for a new apartment, you can take my room while I sleep on the couch," I offered.

"Y/n, I know that you won't let me do it any other way, but just think about it. What about the dogs, don't they sleep in the living room? Wouldn't they wake you up all the time? And when you want to go to sleep earlier than everyone else, you would have to wait until they all leave the living room to do so. And what about the kids, don't they wake up pretty early?" Y/f/n questioned me, trying to talk me out of this.

"Y/f/n, you and I both know that once I fall asleep, I won't wake up until the time my internal clock is programmed to, which is 7, almost always earlier than when everyone wakes up. And if people are in the living room at the time, I'll just fall asleep in an arm chair, I've done it plenty of times before," I reasoned, making her sigh and give up, raising her hands in the air like she's guilty.

"Okay, fine. I'll give you that win, mostly because I know that once you have your mind set on something you won't give up almost ever," Y/f/n shook her head, a small smirk on her features.

"You wanna go to your apartment with me to get you some stuff, and then bring it over to my place before figuring out where the other went?" I asked.

"And sing Broadway songs while doing it, of course!" Y/f/n said, grabbing her coffee and pulling me up. 

She then handed me my tea and then we left, not before paying. We walked down the streets, singing some songs from Beetlejuice, Dear Evan Hansen, and Wicked. When we were a few songs away from Y/f/n's apartment, someone joined in with our singing, and the three of us finished the walk to Y/f/n's apartment together, laughing and singing the whole way, getting weird looks from some visitors and tourists.

When we got there, we turned to the girl that joined us, and Y/f/n said,

"Hi, I'm Y/f/n, and this is my bestie Y/n. And you are?"

Author's note

Hey guys! First character that you guys helped me come up with is in the next chapter! I'm really excited for multiple reasons. My math is going really well, and it's pretty easy, so that's great. The twins, both pairs, are doing really well and having a lot of fun. And I have an online theatre camp next week that I'm super excited about! And it's my birthday July 24th! So, I made this chapter a little bit ahead of time, like right after I made the other chapter, but I wanted to hold off on posting this one until my birthday. So, thank you guys so much for all of your support, and I will keep on updating. Thank you!
