Is he really like this? Or did I do
something wrong? Why is he ignoring
me ?

It's been almost 4 days since we spoke,
and now my message is delivered for
like 7 hours. The only reason I can think
of why he is doing this to me is OLIVIA BISHOP! Does he think that all this happened because of me?

Without a second thought I called him, "hello?" he said. And all I'm doing right
now is crying! "I'm sorry Ash! It was
never my intention to hurt you. If I had known earlier that you guys met each
other just 3 months ago, I wouldn't
have supported you propose to her."

"Yuri please don't cry. It's not your fault really!" Not completely but it's my fault
too for encouraging him to do such a
stupid thing. But his reassurance made
me feel much better. "I can't afford to
lose you Ash. You're my best friend! You were ignoring my calls and messages,
I don't even know why"

"Yuri I don't want to take someone else's place". What is he saying? Is he referring
to James? Maybe yes, because james
and i were best friends before all this
drama happened. " You are not taking anybody's place Ash. Why do you even
think so?"

Silence.

"James is your bestfriend Yuri! How can I take his position?"

Has he lost his senses or what? Isn't he aware of what James did to my feelings?

"Arey you out of your mind Ash? James broke me. I need you today, tomorrow, always! You hear me? I'm not going to
leave you ever!! So stop being a shit
and please smile now. I can't see you
being distant from me."

"I have to go Yuri, can I call you later?"

"Sure, bye"
Well I know he's lying to me. He just
doesn't want to talk about it right now. Please lord don't make this boy go
away from my life. He just completes me! He makes me the happiest person on earth. Every time I hear his voice it heals a part of me which he never broke.

It's funny how you can be happy with someone and love them so much, it
creates an underlying sense of fear in
you that you never knew before them .
The fear of losing them. The fear of them getting hurt.

2 days with no contact and I feel guilty
for making him sad. But wait, what did
I do wrong in the place? I don't think I
really know him completely yet.

Here I am! Just scrolling reels because I don't how should I convince him. I can't
help but constantly think about him, like why not? He's my best friend after all!

Out of the blue moon, a notification pops
up on my phone. It's Ash. He sent me a
YouTube video. I can't think of what to
say to him so I just watched it at least
two times in a row. I swear this video has
a deeper meaning which I'm not able
to figure out.

I just replied him with an emoji and nothing else. What other than this can I even do! It's quite awkward between us. First of all he said he doesn't want to be my bestfriend because he thinks he's stealing James' right and secondly he sent me a YouTube video which is about 'feelings' basically a love triangle.

My best friend Katherine and I decided to play Pubg and she asked me to bring Ash also in the game. After what happened in the last few days I was feeling awkward to ask him for the same but then I decided to text him.

Me: "hey Ash? Wanna play Pubg?"

He's online right now and hopefully replied within a minute.

Ash: "okay sure!"

Me: "Katherine will also be playing with us, okay?"

Ash: "Your friend Katherine Anne right?"
