My best friend went crazy after my boyfriend betrayed me
Ashley’s drunken call for a ride home turned
into a nightmare. I found her, not slumped on
a bar stool, but wrapped around my
boyfriend, Ethan, in a passionate embrace.
“Do you really love Ashley?” she murmured
against his lips. His laugh sent chills down my
spine. “Of course not. It was all to get your
attention.”
I walked away, numb. A simple text message
ended our relationship. Then, I vanished.
Deleted my social media, changed my
number, packed a bag and left town. I needed
to escape the suffocating betrayal. But they
wouldn’t let me. Ethan and Chloe bombarded
my family with calls, pleading for forgiveness.
It was too late.

My best friend, Chloe, was a party girl. When
her slurred call came begging for a rescue, I
knew it was bad. Ignoring the late hour, I
grabbed my keys and raced to the bar.
The door to the private room was slightly ajar.
I peeked inside, and my stomach lurched. A
couple was locked in a heated kiss on the
plush sofa. The man looked eerily like Ethan,
and the woman’s profile was undeniably
Chloe’s.
I ducked back, heart pounding, trying to
process the scene. I called Ethan. He frowned
when he saw my name on the screen. Chloe
giggled, tracing his jawline. “Aren’t you going
to answer, sweetie?”

Ethan gave her a quick peck before
answering, his voice laced with impatience.
“Yeah?”
“Ethan, where are you?” My voice trembled,
despite my efforts to sound calm.
He nuzzled Chloe’s neck. “I’m at a work thing.
I’ll be late.”
Tears streamed down my face. I choked back
a sob. “Okay. Don’t drink too much.”
He grunted and hung up, immediately diving
back into another passionate kiss with Chloe.
My phone slipped from my numb fingers and
clattered to the floor. I slid down the wall, my
legs giving way.
Then. Chloe’s voice drifted from the room.

I held my breath, desperate for his answer.
His reply shattered me. “Of course not. It was
all to get your attention.”
So that was it. Our entire relationship, a cruel
game. I picked up my phone, tears blurring
the screen. I could barely make out Ethan’s
last text: “I love you so much, Ash.” The irony
was sickening.
