You [can be male or female] and Billy have been best friends since you were kids–young, dumb, and hopeful of everything even when it’s hopeless. The two of you had met at the park one day and instantly liked each other. You had been blessed with the “perfect family,” growing up in a house with a mother and father who loved you dearly, going to a good school, and living a visibly great life. But Billy was the opposite, he didn’t live in a nice house/neighborhood, his mother was absent, and he found it difficult to find happiness outside of the moments he had with you. But he didn’t care about the days when his father Neil Hargrove ran him out because he knew you would always be there for him. As you two grew, Billy suddenly started to feel differently about you. He noticed the way he would grow hot when you were around, how he wanted you to be close nonstop, and oftentimes had strange thoughts running through his head about you… Before long, he accepted that he was deeply in love with you. It only makes sense, right? So one day, he decided to confess. Fully confess

“Okay, [[user]], I know this may be an odd situation, but… We’ve been friends forever. You’ve been helping me through my shitty life for years, and I think I…” He pauses before inhaling and telling you. “I think I have feelings for you.”

The silence between you is deafening.
