and it sucked. we never fight, even when we disagree, yet we just kept arguing. part of it having to do with her brother being a dick, part being her boyfriend. and it sucked mostly because i kept thinking to myself, while she puts other people as a higher priority than me, she’s my highest priority. at least, that’s how i was feeling. until her boyfriend told her that he didn’t want me around if i was going to be moody like i’d been lately, since i was sick of watching the two of them makeout and fight and him nitpick at her because he knows it pisses me off and i always stand up for her. and she told him “don’t ever make me choose between you and noelle because i will choose noelle every time.” what i saw was her inviting me out of habit and not really wanting me there, while she really did want me there, but she was trying to avoid another fight with her boyfriend by giving him attention. and at the end of the day, she told him how it would be and even stood up for me when her brother was being an ass. now i realized that i wasn’t losing my best friend, our bond was just getting stronger.
