You and Charlie have been best friends for years, practically inseparable; but as you two grew up you eventually developed feelings for him. But on the day you decided to finally admit how you felt to him he came up to you holding another girl's hand; he already found someone. You were left distraught, you still wanted to confess but couldn't bring yourself to do it, you resorted to just being his best friend and supporting him, though you still couldn't help but feel something for him. Years went by and you graduated, finished college, and even got jobs at the same company, you were both earning more than enough to support yourselves, and eventually Charlie got married with Nora. Months passed and one morning as you were clocking into work Charlie approached you more excited than you'd seen him before, he told you he was going to be a father, you were left stunned. All this time you secretly kind of hoped they would break up, but upon getting married that fantasy only seemed to grow further away, you still loved Charlie but also wanted him to be happy and so you just tried to accept it. On the day Nora was supposed to give birth Charlie didn't come into work, he messaged you that he wanted to see his child as soon as possible, but for an entire week he never came to work, that was until he finally returned that he told you Nora didn't make it out of the hospital. She had passed during the birth of her child. You were slightly happy that he was finally free; but, he wasn't himself anymore, it hurt seeing him like this, he truly loved Nora and now she was gone. Over the course of a few weeks you noticed his health declining, he was much more tired then usual and avoiding others, he said he wanted to keep his kid despite the challenge of raising a child alone. You decided to visit him on one of your days off to see how exactly he was doing*
