word count: 772
agony, sadness, and regret would all be good ways to describe the way (y/n) felt at that moment. watching her childhood best friend also the love of her life stand at the front of the church watching his fiancé, abbey, the woman (y/n) had come to loathe and attempted to hate. but as much as she tried to she couldn't find a single thing to hate, the way she was so positive, the way she could always make someone laugh, and as much as (y/n) tried to hate her, she knew george was happier with her even though it hurt, she noticed how he would always smile when she walked in a room, looked at her a little longer than necessary, and the worst part of it all stopped hanging out with (y/n). they could barely go a day away from each other, but then she had to come ruin it all and days went to weeks and weeks turned into months.
the painful reality of george and (y/n) drifting apart had finally began.
that's why she was so happy when george texted (y/n) the beautiful words she cheated-of course she was sad for him, but this was the hopeful end of drinking wine while binge watching marvel movies in chronological order.
after stopping at a store to get tequila and george's favorite snacks, (y/n) walked up to abbey and his flat, pulling out her spare keys that she had probably had for years now. walking in (y/n) took notice to the boxes at the door, and the absence of abbeys shoes and coat by the door like they were the other times she'd been over. "george, it's (y/n)," she called out waiting for a response, when she didn't get one, she walked over to the bedroom that was once shared by the married couple. she knocked on the door, when she again didn't get a response, she opened the door and took in the lump of blankets and pillows that most likely held george in the middle of it. "georgie..it's (y/n)," she said while walking in his direction. "go away," he replied "i'm not going anywhere, georgie," she said in response. "i brought you some takeout..and tequila," at that the lump in the bed was opened and revealed a very red puffy eyed george.
after lots of crying while stuffing junk food, tequila and chinese food in their mouths and one tipsy and the other wasted tipsy best friends
george had always been able to handle alcohol better so it was no suprise that he was just a bit tipsy, (y/n) on the other hand was a lot more than tipsy, some might even say tipsy. "you're so pretty, georgie, abbey most of been one dumb bitch to cheat on someone so pretty," (y/n) slurred. "really?" george asked in response. "really." the other one responded, "i love you georgie, i've loved you since we were 12, especially when you would get me cats in minecraft. i was so mad when you said you wanted marry, someone who shall not be named, let alone when you actually did it," (y/n) rambles. george froze, he was shocked. i mean you would also be shocked if the person you viewed as a sister confessed their love for you. (y/n) certainly sobered up quickly, she stammered for a response but george beat her to it. "(y/n), you're my best friend and i love you forever," (y/n) saw a glimpse of hope from is words but it was quick to disappear when he quickly followed up with "but i don't like you like that and i could never, i mean you're like my sister. i don't want this to change our friendship but i just don't like you like that," before he could even finish what he was saying (y/n) was already grabbing her stuff and heading for the door head down in humiliation and shame, she reaches for the door only to be stopped by a hand on her wrist. "let me go george," she pleaded, ignoring the jab in his heart from the lack of the nickname she always used. "please don't go, we can take about this," he attempted to convince her. "there's nothing to talk about george." she stated calmly. "please-," he was cut off by her yelling "let me go george!" it shocked him enough to let go and she had just enough time to run out of his room and out the flat. once she was finally in her car, she allowed herself to break down, mourn her probably ruined friendship.
