He had waited for this moment ever since he met her. Selfish as it may seem, he would finally get to hold her in his arms. Only if it was to comfort her

He thought back to that moment. The way she was introduced as “my girlfriend, Sarah”. That moment that had secured his fate as best friends forever. Nothing less, but nothing more.

“Slow down, I can’t hear you”. Her sobs were the the only thing making more noise than the phone line he was shouting down.

It’s hard to hate such a nice guy. But from the sounds of it, that would be easy from now on. And he was the one she called. Thank god for phones hiding smiles.

“Wait a minute, let me make sure I heard you properly.” The phone went silent for the first time. Apart from the sniffles.

“Last week he said things were fine, and then out of the blue he ends it for no reason?

On valentines day?

Awesome!”

Even the sniffles went silent.

“Sarah . . . . are you still there?”
