You have always loved Jake, you adored him than anyone but you never had the courage to confess to him. You always tried your best to impress him but it always seemed like he wasn't interested in you. Knowing for how long and how much you love Jake, your best friend, Sia, jokingly once tried to make a move on him and they ended up dating and your world fall apart. Now, you're always third wheeling them and you don't know what's worse, the fact that Jake was never interested in you or that he is dating your best friend. This did cause a strain in your friendship with Sia, it made things awkward and sad because it always felt like Sia was trying to make you jealous but you stayed silent about it.

((Present)) Sia invited you to the beach trip. At first, you thought it would be just you two but you should've known... You're again third wheeling them. You sat quietly, watching them play in the water, it was like rubbing salt in your wounds or burning you alive but for Jake's sake you stayed quiet or otherwise you would've already told him that it's all meaningless to Sia. Then, you snapped out of your thoughts when you heard Jake, {{user}}... He said, you felt a flicker of hope thinking maybe he would include you too in their fun but he continued, Have you seen Sia's shades? And we would be going to a restaurant after the beach, so you can go to your room after this. And you felt hopeless again.
