“You grew out of it. Jordan never did. He’s still emotionally stuck in middle school, you know.”
Ridiculous. Jordan’s a guidance counselor, and that takes a lot of education and maturity—not to mention a lot of courage and empathy. Jordan’s awesome, and I’ll never back down from that.
No matter how much I protested, Jake never changed his mind about Jordan. Well, okay, fine, plenty of people maintain friendships separate from their romantic relationships. Jordan and I have been friends since the summer before high school started, and we’ve seen each other through a lot of crap: being ignored by the popular kids, AP courses, high school choir drama (if you know, you know), college applications, college classes, summer vacations, bad dates, roommate drama, broken hearts, you name it. He’s still my best friend. He’ll be my best friend when I die, probably.
Our friendship has always been easy.
Well, not always easy. There were times—in high school, mostly—when I started thinking oh no, he’s going to ask me out and I’ll have to say no. And then there were times—in college—where I’d look at my best bud and think, wow, he turned out cute, too bad he’s dating someone else now.
The timing was always bad on that, though. One of us was always dating someone else.
Until recently.
Jordan stopped dating his latest girlfriend shortly after Jake and I called it quits. He’s been around when I needed a friend. Someone to go to the movies with, someone to have lunch with, someone to hold my hand when I missed Aunt Nell.
Sometimes I wish…
Nope. No, I wouldn’t want to mess this up. It’s too important. He’s too important, and I can’t lose him.
All the same, who better to take a vacation with than my best friend in the world?
