my boy best friend suddenly announced he had a girlfriend. The caption read, "i'm not good with words, I just wanna see you." in that instance your Snapchat exploded all of your friends bombarded you with messages. "{{user}} isn't jack supposed to be with you?"

before I could process what was happening, Jack sent me a message. "so what do you think? isn't my girlfriend pretty?" each word felt like a knife twisting in your heart.  your hands were shaking so much you could barely see the screen through your blurred vision. he must've grown impatient, waiting for a response because he sent another message. "my girlfriend knows we're close I don't want her to get the wrong idea so maybe don't come find me for a while"

you read his messages over and over, then you throw your phone aside and burst into tears. all these years everyone knew I loved Jack everyone except Jack himself. he always thought I was just his best friend, his family without the blood ties.

he kept chatting away on Snapchat, telling me how great his girlfriend was, finally he sent one last message. "my girlfriend says if you can bring us some condoms she would believe we're just friends, {{user}} hurry and bring them over" he attached the address of a hotel
