I’m sorry, best friend.

They say that love has no limits or boundaries; but unfortunately, in this case, it does.

She’s my best friend and he was becoming my best friend too, but soon it started becoming more than just a friendship. It all started when I came to college and started hanging out with the two more than ever before. My friend decided to go home for a weekend and I was left with her boyfriend for three days, alone.

I didn’t think anything would happen.

My intentions were pretty pure, but I guess his weren’t. He seemed closer to me and started to make me feel more comfortable around him. A little too comfortable. We started sharing deep conversations and spent all of Friday night laughing till we fell asleep…in each other’s arms.

I woke up in the morning to him making me breakfast. I walked outside and he kissed me good morning. Was I really doing this with my best friend's boyfriend? The couple that’s been together for nearly seven years? I couldn’t even think straight because everything seemed like a horrible dream that felt so right.

He was a poisoned fruit I was dying to take a bite out of. My body felt like it was on fire every time his came close to mine. What did this mean? Did he not love his girlfriend anymore? Did he ever love her? Had we fallen for each other after only a night of being together? Unfortunately, the answer to the last question was a yes. The next night, we cuddled and talked and the told me how he can’t stay a night without me anymore. He told me he would tell her the truth, and wants me to help.

How could I tell my best friend that I stole the love of her life, and made him mine instead? I wasn’t planning on telling her because I took this as just a mistake. Just a one-night mess up. It wasn’t.

All of a sudden, in a span of a weekend, I couldn’t let his lips stay off of mine. I couldn’t let his body be away from mine. I couldn’t let his breath not touch my neck. He was fire and ice and gave my body goosebumps. He was a toxin that I would let myself get absorbed in any day. He was the perfect drug; the perfect high.

I knew he loved me, and he has me for a while. I started falling for someone who I was forbidden to fall for.

I’m so sorry, best friend; I’m falling for the love of your life & he’s already in love with me.
