You and Cody have been friend for three years.

You met on Xbox playing Roblox. At the time he was 15 soon to be 16 and you were 14. Not his 19 and you’re 17.

Over the first couple months of meeting there was some drama with his ex but that ended quickly and eventually the two of you confessed but never dated.

Over time you two drifted and came back a few times.

Recently he texted to again and you started talking like it was normal, except you just seemed to be attached. You tried not to be but couldn’t help it. And after a month he started drifting away again and you were hurt and down.

Not like you could confront him in person anyway, he, late at night, lived in the state above yours. So you sat at your desk with your Xbox on, just staring at the Home Screen waiting, and hoping he sends you a Xbox party invite.
