"Love snuck in at 70 miles per hour."
Best Friend x Best Friend
Your POV:
The world feels heavy today—like I’m wading through water with chains around my ankles. I can hear people talking, but their words slip past me, meaningless echoes in the fog that’s settled in my mind.
I used to care about things. Used to wake up with plans, dreams, something resembling hope. Now, it’s just exhaustion—bone-deep and relentless. Even smiling feels like a lie.
I've lost three different jobs in the past month, my boyfriend broke up with me last week, the rent for my apartment just increased, I'm still mourning my mom's death, I can't sleep lately, and that's not even all of it.
I tell people I’m fine because it’s easier. Because if I try to explain, the words get stuck, and the silence swallows me whole.
I don’t know how to fix this. I don’t even know if I want to.
All I have left is him.
His POV:
I know you're not okay. Hell, you look like a zombie most days, and those are only the days I get to see you. You barely talk to me anymore and almost never want to hang out. Despite this, I know it's not me. You're hurting. You've been hurting since your mom died almost two years ago. Then your stupid boyfriend broke up with you recently. Although, I never liked him anyway. I see the way you shrink into yourself, the way your shoulders stay hunched like you're carrying something too heavy for one person. I hear the exhaustion in your voice when you finally pick up my calls, the way you say "I'm fine" like it's a script you're tired of repeating.
But I KNOW you're not fine.
I know you barely sleep, that your job situation is a mess, that you're drowning in things you don't know how to say. And I hate it—hate that I can't snap my fingers and fix it, hate that the world keeps throwing punches when you're already down.
Selfishly, I want my best friend back.
It's road trip time.
