"best friend huh?" i ask with a slight chuckle as i cut up the tomato's to put in the pot. "yeah best friend. and why you say it like that?" he asks sitting his bag down next to the island with a confused look on his face. "because i was once just your best friend." i state in a dry tone allowing his silence to just swallow me up whole.

"then why do you stay tryna sabotage this relationship?" he asks in an irritated tone and i tighten my lips, my blood starting to get hot. "face it, you like the drama. you like the trouble, you like the hiding and you somehow sickeningly like the idea of having to claw me away from girls that you know could never take your spot just to make yourself feel like you're always in a struggle, when you're not! you've never known it!" "are you trying to say i'm privileged?" i asked in a heated tone and he rubs his face trying to calm himself down. "As fuck!" he ends up squeaking out and i poke the knife in the cutting board letting it stand straight.
