Request by iamnaomibradley , hopefully this is good...? Thank you for the idea!

Y/n pov
It was absolute torture to watch these tourons flirt with my best friend. JJ and I met back in the second grade. I was sitting all alone at lunch because I was no friends. JJ, who also no friends, came up to me and asked me for my pop tart my mom packed me for lunch. Well he didn't actually ask me he just took it but that's besides the point. Us two have been inseparable since that day. Last year I started to grow some feelings that were much more then just friends. It was off and on for me but now I can never get him out of my head.
"Y/n!" Kiara cheered as he ran towards me. My mood perked up a little from seeing my other friends happy state. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" She smiled as she took a seat next to me on the sand.
"I've been here." I shrugged.
"You know what you should do?" She asked me.
"Hmm?" I questioned her drunken state.
"Tell him you love him." She chirped and took another gulp of her beer. I looked at her like she had three heads.
"I don't love him." I said flatly.
"Yes you do! Come on I can see it plain as day." She laughed drunkenly.
"Give me that and then maybe I will." I said grabbing her bear can. She easily gave it to me and I chugged it down.
"Enough courage now?" She joked.
"Not really but I guess we'll try." I said standing up. I was gonna do it. I was gonna tell JJ how I really felt.

Ok so maybe I didn't really tell JJ how I felt. Before I could even make it to him on the beach I was given shot after shot of some random alcohol. Now I was drunk and still trying to find my blond headed best friend.
"JJ!" I called and laughed to myself. Nothing was funny but as a drunk I was the one girl who thought everything was funny.
"Y/n I'm right here." I heard JJ voice come into my view.
"Oh good!" I cheered happily and bounced towards him. "I have to tell you something." I stated and pointed my finger at his chest. He nodded his head eagerly. I could tell he was drunk too. "I'm in love with you. Did you know that? I've been in love with you forever." I said pouting my lips at him. He seemed to sober up once those words came out of my mouth.
"Y/n." He sighed and grabbed my shoulders. I noticed the seriousness in his tone and I could tell my body started to forget my own drunken state I was in. "I love you too but not like that." He sighed. "You're my best friend. I'm sorry." He said removing his hands from my shoulders and looking at me sadly. Yup my drunken state was definitely gone now.
"What?" I asked. I wasn't confused I definitely heard what he said but I was in shock. "I just got friendzoned." I whispered to myself.
"Y/n-." JJ started but I stopped him.
"I-it's ok I'm just...yeah bye." I said not even looking at him. I turned on my heels and walked as fast as possible into the crowd so I didn't have to see him and so he didn't have to see me. I was embarrassed truly but at the same time I couldn't be mad at JJ. Relationships aren't one way and I needed to respect that he didn't love me the same way I loved him. I just got fucking friend zoned. I'm definitely gonna need another shot of tequila.
