Best Friends Don't Share All Their Secrets

Chapter One

I slammed my pencil on the desk as I finished my last nursing exam of the first semester. Man, was I excited. Becoming a nurse has always been a dream of mine since I could remember. Specifically, I wanted to be a labor and delivery nurse. Although I wasn't too far into my nursing academics, having 2 more years left of it, this first semester definitely had its challenges.

Closing my laptop, I packed my things away and headed out the door. I can confidently say that i did amazing this semester despite some bumps in the road. Getting high grades is my goal for my degree. Will I be bummed if I don't, not entirely, but I think having a goal makes you more motivated to do something. Even if it means literally dropping off the face of the earth and into text books for months.

I couldn't wait to head home and fly straight into bed for a well deserved nap. My dreams were crushed when I got a text from my best friend.

Guess who's back!?!?!

Shit.

You might be wondering why I'm low key cursing myself that my best friend said he is back. Well let me explain some of it.

I have a best friend Brody, who I have been attached to the hip with since diapers. Our parents have grown up together so it only made sense. I haven't seen him in 4 months since he decide to study abroad in London for the semester. To say I missed him was an understatement. It was weird not seeing him everyday or him sprawled out on my bed every chance he can get. But I'm nervous to see him. Because the last time we saw each other was at my graduation party. The day before he left on that plane. The night that changed our friendship. I slept with my best friend.

Not that I'm complaining because it was the best sex of my life and I've been in love with him since I could remember. I've waited my whole life for that night. The energy, feelings and pulling between us was unreal. But Brody doesn't remember that night, thanks to both of us getting hammered. I feel like I don't know how I'm going to act around him. Will it be awkward, will it be just like old times? I don't want anything to change between us. Well scratch that I want this sexy ass goof ball that used to play dress up when we were little, to be mine.

I shook my head and paid attention to the road In front of me. Definitely do not need to get into an accident on my way home. After only a 15 minute drive, I pulled into my little condo I bought with the money I saved up all throughout high school working with my mom at her medical office. A little place to call mine was such a big accomplishment for me.

It wasn't anything crazy, a little 2 bedroom, 1 bath townhouse with a cute backyard and porch. Slice a heaven, I call it. I walked inside and set my things down on the couch and headed straight to the fridge. I was starving. Usually i bring a little something to snack on at school, but of course i was rushing this morning and didn't have time to bring anything with me. Grabbing a granola bar, i was just about to sit my ass back down when my door bell rang.

i groaned. I just wanted to relax to today. Putting my bar down, i made my way to see who decided to disturb me. Swinging the door open my heart dropped.

"Hey Kenny."

There he stood. His curly brown hair grew out since i saw him making it a little shaggy so he had to use his hands to push it back. Still towering over me at 6'1 making me have to look up at him. But his eyes are the part that always get me. The soft brown orbs that look golden in the sun just look into my soul, like he searching for my reaction or something that's there.

I couldn't help but squeal and jump into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist. Instantly i was engulfed by him, his arms tightening around me and oh god, his smell. It is the same cologne I gave him for part of his graduation present.

"I missed you." We both said at the same exact time, making us laugh.

"Well how could you not miss all of this?" I grinned making him chuckle.

"Oh totally, you are all i thought about my whole trip." Brody gave me a kiss on the cheek and set me down.

If only he was actually serious that he thought about me the whole entire time. I think i would die. He made himself at home as usual, sprawling out on my couch turning on the tv like he lived here. I laid next to him, putting my head in his lap so i can look at his face.

"How was London? Give me all the details, i want to know everything." He looked down with a sparkle in his eyes.

"You would've loved it Kenny." saying with the nickname he gave me when we were little. "The city, the people, the places. It was so beautiful, i didn't want to leave. But i had more important things to come back home to." As he said that last part he stroked my cheek and gave me the a soft smile. Was he talking about me? Was i the more important thing he had to come back home to? No right? My emotions are just getting the best of me. Right?

My heart was in my throat and it felt like i couldn't breath with the way he was staring at me. Like he wanted to say more but it wouldn't come out.

"Are you coming to my parent's house tonight? For my welcome home BBQ?" He blinked at of his staring like he realized what he was doing.

I cleared my throat and sat up on the couch next to him. "Yes of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world."

He stood up abruptly and started heading to the door, but stopping to lookback at me.

"Welcome home Brody."

"It is good to be home."

And with that he walked out the door until we saw each other later tonight. I made my way up to my room almost as if my feet had a mind of its own. When i reached my desk i pulled open the top draw. Pushing some things around, i finally found it hiding in the back. I grasped it in my hands and curled up in bed reveling the object, turning it over so i can hold it in front of my face. i sighed heavy. The evidence that is going to change our friendship forever.

I took my phone out and opened the convo between Brody and I. Typing away before my mind could change it.

K: can we talk tonight?

i knew hitting send, this was it. I dont know how im going to tell him and i do not even want to think about what he was going to say but it had to come out.

Now or never right?

My phone dinged, signaling i got a text message.

B: Of course. I cant wait.

I tucked the object back away in my drawer but before i could close it, i felt the tears stinging their way to fall. The words staring back to me like a boulder on my chest.
