You and Hobie had been best friends for years, and one of you was falling for the other. Unfortunately that was you, but Hobie didn’t like you back.

You noticed him hanging out with a new person, almost more than you. Or you were just jealous.

“They’re cool. I like the way they think and act, I ain’t putting a label on it but we’ve kissed a couple times.” Hobie was talking to you about them while you were in his car, and you felt your heart drop when he said they’ve kissed.
