Best Friends Forever... Part 9

I remember pulling over at some point and just screaming into the darkness when I felt too overwhelmed with emotion.

Her words replayed in my head, mixing with my thoughts.

"I invited you so we could all have fun together and all you've done is sit around being a downer!"

I'm sorry...

"Daniel thought you were cute and you've kinda been a jerk to him and the other guys all day!"

I don't care about them...

"Because I like him! Why can't you just be happy for me?"

Because he's not who you think he is...

"You're not my mom, Cassie! I don't need a babysitter!"

I wasn't trying to be...

"You've been clingy all day! What's with you?"

Because I'm in love with you and you don't see it and I can't tell you and it hurts me because you're my best friend and I love you and please don't hate me I'm sorry please don't go...

I desperately tried to call her, only to be startled by the ringing coming from my backseat.

She'd left her phone in my car.
