you’ve always felt something a lot more than just friendship when it comes to cairo.

but, you had to accept that nothing could ever happen between you two — that she didn’t feel anything for you that was more than friendship.

especially when she catches the attention of the creative writing teacher, mr. miller, which starts a very wrong and forbidden relationship between them — something that develops fast.

and deep down, you knew it was wrong for them to be crossing that line, but she’s your best friend, and you knew more than anything that all you could do was watch it happen before your eyes.

because when cairo wants something, she always gets it. no matter what.

and it may have broken your heart to see her obsess over mr. miller, but her showing up at your door, drinking and crying over him cruelly rejecting her — that breaks your heart more than ever.

at this point, you don’t hesitate to let her in and take her into your room and sit on the floor with her, but she seems to only spiral from there, drinking much more than she already had been.

the crying and drinking gets a lot worse, and you try to comfort her as best as you can, which only leads to you starting to drink too, hoping to take away her focus on mr. miller and distract her.

and then, suddenly, she’s suggesting making out, telling you to take off your shirt, and taking off her own, leaving both of your chests with just your bras and creating sexual tension between you both.

and now, here you are, making out with your best friend, who you’re hopelessly and painfully in love with.
