God, the more I see of Florence Pugh, the more I'm in love with her. She's so greeeaat 😍😍
The clip is captivating.
The melody, the lyrics, the video, Florence Pugh (i love her, i love her , i love her ), Yungblud, everything is INCREDIBLE…
Yungblud conveys such a beautiful message:
The beauty of being a nurse (helping people, bringing hope…), but also the difficulty of the job.
The fact that you always have to be smiling in front of patients, that you have to stay strong no matter what the situation, but that once you're home, once you're alone, this job “eats you up” from the inside. They feel the sadness of patients, families and death….
Thank you Yungblud for reminding us of the importance of these professions.
Thank you to all the nurses, healthcare personnel who come to our aid. We love you ❤️

a/n: It's been a hot minute but I started off with something fun to get the ball rolling. Let me know your thoughts but be gentle with me, it's been awhile since I've done this.

Summary: You're crushing on your best friend and you don't even know if she likes girls.
Having a crush on your best friend isn’t easy. You get butterflies when their name lights up your phone and smiles shoot across your face just at the thought of them. Hanging out with them can sometimes be difficult because you don’t want to give away your feelings and the lines can feel a little blurred. You don’t want to cross any boundaries because of your feelings but also being close friends with someone you get comfortable around one another. You catch yourself staring at her a little too long sometimes and you have to snap yourself out of it but also have you ever seen someone so beautiful before? These thoughts run through your head every time you see her and you have to push it down as much as you can because the stress of her uncovering your feelings is almost paralyzing for you. You don’t want to ruin your friendship, what if she didn’t feel the same way? What if she questioned your entire friendship with her to begin with and you lost the person you care most about? Well that would really fucking suck wouldn’t it. It’s a good thing that isn’t happening..oh wait, yeah it is.
You and Flo have been friends now for about a year and a bit. Although you’ve only known each other for a small fraction of one another’s lives it’s felt like she’s been there for much longer. It has felt like you’ve known her your whole life, the two of you instantly clicked with one another. You were unbelievably shy when you first met her, you were so nervous your voice would shake sometimes but she was confident enough for the both of you. Her laugh made you laugh, her smile made you smile and with a little bit of time you got more comfortable around her. It wasn’t too hard, she was the most intoxicating and kind person you’ve ever met. The two of you were basically inseparable after you met.
Most of your friends knew about your crush on Florence, well, you didn’t do a great job at hiding it anyways but Flo seemed to never notice. That or she was playing dumb and didn’t want you to know. She always gave off this bi-girl energy but to your knowledge she’s only dated boys. She talks about women sometimes in a “she’s hot” kind of way but most straight girls do that too so it’s hard to tell. She knows you’re gay but has never said anything about herself in that regard, hard to get a good read. Half your friends say one thing, half the other, it gets so confusing in your own head that you don’t even know what to think. You might actually be delulu enough to start believing what you want as opposed to what is actually right in front of you. There’s been nights where the two of you go out to bars with friends and by the time everything’s done you always end up back at her place or back at yours getting something deep fried on the way and just laughing with one another all night until you eventually fall asleep leaning on each other. That or sometimes she ends up going home with a random guy and you walk yourself home, thinking about how it should have been you instead.
“Y/N!” You hear screaming at you from across the study hall you were walking through.
People shoot dirty looks at her for practically screaming in such a quiet area as she realizes and you see her giggle and quietly apologize. You shake your head with a stupid grin on your face because you love the way she never cares what other people think when it comes to seeing the people she cares about. She’s such a carefree person who cares so much at the same time.
“I missed you like crazy” she says as she opens her arms for a big hug pulling you close to her. God you loved her hugs. She always smelled like flowers and it was fucking intoxicating to you.
“You saw me a day ago babe” you reply with a chuckle.
“I know I just can hardly go 24 hours without seeing my favorite girl.”
You could feel your cheeks flush whenever she says stuff like that. Play it off cool.
“Right…I missed you too Flo.” “So, what are we doing today? You said you had something planned?”
“RIGHT! Yes, oh my gosh you’re going to love this.” She says with her most adorable accent. “So, I got us two tickets to the three movie special at the drive-in tonight and they’re showing Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse!”
“No way” You were fully aware the Twilight movies are not the greatest movies but they are AMAZING films if that makes sense. You were a fan when the films came out and while everyone was team Jacob or Edward we all knew you were team Alice.
“AND…my car is stocked with all the favorites for you. Chocolate, chips, candy, you name it.”
“You’re doing all this for me?”
“Well duh! When I saw that these were the movies playing at this weekend's drive-in I knew I had to.”
She knew you so well for someone who’s only been around for about a year. Fall weather, Twilight, snacks and your most favorite person in the whole wide world, what could be better?
Later that night
OVER TEXT
You: So, what’s the play for outfits tonight?
Flo: Def comfy all the way!
You: Shoot so I can’t wear my jeans with my jean shirt and my jean jacket?
Flo: Please do. Would die if I saw you in that.
You: Haha you wish Pugh.
Flo: You will probably see me in my sweats so don’t look too good tonight can’t have you outdoing me by too much.
You: I don’t think I could even if I tried
Flo: pffft please. You almost always come better dressed to everything we go to.
You: I mean, I can't help it if my fashion sense is just wayyyyy better than yours
Flo: uh huh whatever you say…
You: Can I bring anything?
Flo: Just you, I got everything else handled ;) I’ll be there in 10 to grab you.
You: Okay see you soon!
Flo pulled up in her Bronco that you are infinitely always jealous of. It’s probably one of the coolest cars you’ve ever seen since it's a really old model. The two of you pulled up to the drive-in with excitement as she parked and found a prime spot she hopped out of the car to pull down the tailgate in the back.
“Oh my god Florence Pugh what did you do?”
“What? I can’t spoil my bestie every now and again?”
Flo had packed her entire trunk with blankets, pillows and snacks for the two of you to enjoy and relax in while you watched the movies.
“Have I ever told you that you’re the most amazing person in the world?”
“Hmm not enough.” She replies back with a tone.
You both burst out laughing as you hop into the trunk of the car to get situated.
The first movie felt like it flew by, the two of you relaxing, eating popcorn and other goodies. As the second movie started you felt your eyes getting a little heavy, you had a long day and being around Florence just relaxed you to a point of sleep sometimes.
You felt yourself start to come to a little only to realize your head was resting on Flo’s lap as her hands ran through your hair. You were so relaxed but as your brain started to process what was happening (including the small line of drool coming out of your mouth) you shot up and awake.
“Woah there, look who’s awake.”
“Haha my bad I must’ve had a long day. Was I snoring?”
“Not at all…” Florence said as she nodded her head.
A look of embarrassment came across your face.
“It’s okay love,” Florence said as she grabbed your head and rested it in her lap again. “Just relax and fall asleep if you need the rest. I’m good where I am. Are you comfortable enough?”
“Mhmm” you mumbled as you started to doze off again from the comforting touch of her hand.
“Pssst y/n, love, I need you to wake up now.” You hear whispered into your ears.
You slowly sat up and looked around to not see a movie playing or even a car in sight.
“Flo, what time is it?”
“2am”
“What- didn’t the movies end hours ago?”
“They did but you looked so peaceful I didn’t want to wake you but now we are actually getting thrown out because they need to close.”
“Oh my god. You could’ve woken me up!”
“You clearly needed the rest babe, besides you’re the cutest sleeper I’ve ever seen.”
“Right uh huh”
“Don’t uh huh me, are you coming back to my place tonight to crash?”
“Uhhh I wouldn’t want to put you out or anything.”
“Nonsense, you’ll come over.” Flo says as she hops out of the car to get in the front seat.
Sleepovers always felt really awkward for you, you always felt like you needed to keep your distance out of respect due to your feelings for her. You almost always insisted on sleeping on the couch because you didn’t sleep well next to others and for the most part she bought it.
“Thanks for letting me crash Flo” you say as you walk towards the couch.
“Uh no. Where do you think you’re going?”
“I-“
“And don’t give me that bogus about not sleeping well next to me because you slept just fine for the 5 or so hours at the drive in.”
“I- I can’t.”
“Why not, what now? Y/n, it’s not a big deal, I’d rather you be comfy in my bed and-“
“What if I said I liked you as more than just a friend” You practically blurted out like if you didn’t, you’d explode. Your face is immediately turning red from embarrassment as Florence looks at you with wide eyes.
“What if I said I liked you back as more than a friend?” She said,
Your eyes widened as you both just stared at one another.
“Is this the part where we kiss now?” You barely got that out before Flo’s lips crashed into yours. Your hands were naturally drawn to her waist as she kissed you.
The two of you spent the night in bed talking about all the times the other made their heart skip a beat and had lots of laughs over how nervous you were to be honest with one another (with some breaks to make out of course in between).
Let’s just say, everything worked out and you should go tell your best friend you love them.
