I shouldn't have believed one night meant my straight best friend loved me back.

SHORT STORY: CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS • BI-AWAKENING • DARK ROMANCE

—

I spent five months trying to forget him.

Then he came back.

He held me so tightly against his chest all night, like he'd never wanted to let me go.

My greed let him.

It made me believe he'd come back for me.

I thought maybe...

Just maybe...

He felt the same way.

But five words from his mouth were enough to make me run the hell away from him.

And maybe...

This time...

It's for good.
