31 Day Writing Challenge: Day 12 - 'My BFF'

"You're my BFF." 

"Don't say that."

"What? Why not? Amn't I your best friend? I thought we are BFFs."

"You are my best friend. Of course you are. Just don't say forever or BFFs or whatever. OK?"

"Why not? What the hell is wrong?"

"Forever is like a promise. One that no one keeps or ever could keep. Every time someone says 'forever' to me, they always leave. 'We'll be together forever.', 'We'll be friends forever.'. 'I will love you forever.' 'I'll be there for you forever.' People say 'forever' and I believe them, and then they leave. Forevers are for fairy tales and movies. They aren't real. The word forever is a jinx disguised as promise. So, just don't say 'forever'. It should be like 'never', something to never say. OK?"

"OK. Whatever you want. You're still my best friend though. And I don't see that ever changing,"

"You're my best friend too. Love ya."

"Love ya too."
