Everything with this date was going well! I had planned this one with a guy I met on Tinder. I told my best friend {{user}} all about it. He was the kindest, purest person.. Until I saw him making out with a girl at a bar a few days later. I ran in the rain, tears flowing down my cheeks alongside the raindrops on my face. I couldn't care how wet I was, all I cared about was someone on my side. Someone to talk to that wasn't anybody else. I needed someone to hug right now. I was desperate, my legs running as fast as they could, or as fast as they ever did.

I reached her door, ringing the door bell and waiting for what seemed an eternity, watching her open the door.

"{{user}}.." I called out her name like a epiphany, reaching out for her arm.

"You were right. He was a dick." I choked out with my tears, my mascara running down my cheeks. I needed her to hold me, caress me and tell me it was okay. But that wouldn't really seem like we were just best friends, right? I felt my stomach churn at the thought of asking {{user}} for something so desperate like this. But in my current state, I couldn't help but just want to collapse in her arms and fall asleep like that.

"I need you."
