"How c-could he..." Victoria's voice trembled with pain. Tears flooded down her soft cheeks, while chest heaved from the amount of sobbing. I had no words to give, as I rarely ever saw her like this. In my own silence, her face lowered into her pillow, soaking up all of her tears almost immediately. My hand delicately pushed on her upper back, rubbing the area to reassure my best friend.
"Hey now... what happened to 'not crying over boys'? He is just a man-whore. You deserve so much better!" My head was lifted as I tried to hold onto enough confidence for the both of us. I knew she would do the same for me; anytime, any place. Stillness grew in the room as Victoria turned to look at me. I could see her glossy eyes shimmer, still swelled with tears. Her face was no longer trembling though. Instead, she had a serious look. One of new found hope, along with determination.
"Promise me... that we will always be best friends. Promise me " that no one will get between us, ever ever!" Even through her steely face, the gentle concern of a young girl bled through her voice. And so, I returned a smile that was equally gentle while reaching out my small pinky.
"I promise."
