BFFS: Jake
Jake. Jake is an interesting story. It actually starts with another girl; Luna. Luna and I were quite good friends at secondary school, although I have since found out she used to talk about me A LOT behind my back. Hey ho.
Anyways, Jake was madly in love with Luna. There’s a lot of back story regarding that, but to be honest, I don’t know all the details and really it’s not particularly relevant for this. But yh, Jake loved Luna a lot. She was everything he ever wanted, they had been best friends before they got together, and they were really great as a couple.
Sadly, when Luna went to uni, things ended and Jake, expectedly, took this really hard. I hadn’t long come out of a long term relationship myself, and through that he had been super supportive, so I decided to return the favour. Luna changed a lot very suddenly, and quickly became someone I wasn’t interested in associating myself with at the time, and so now, me and Jake joke that he got me in the divorce.
I think that was about 5 years ago, and since then we’ve basically become brother and sister. I pretty much had my own room at his house and was practically adopted by his family. We have a very simple, low maintenance friendship; we hang out, eat food (usually too much), play WoW (usually too much), watch films, and have major philosophical discussions (sometimes we have good wisdoms).
I can always rely on Jake to tell me how it is; if he thinks I’m doing something stupid, he’ll tell me. If he thinks I’ve done the right thing, he’ll tell me. And I will do the same for him. We’ve both had our fair share of tough love from each other, and really, I’m thankful for that, as its helped shape me as a person over the years.
Thanks brah. You is awesome.
