getting left is already painful, but finding out they’re with your best friend too? that’s a whole different kind of hurt. i remember feeling like my chest was caving in when my ex moved on fast, i couldn’t understand how they were okay while i was falling apart 💔

i know 5 days of no contact feels impossible right now, but i kept telling myself i didn’t have to heal forever, i just had to get through today. i had to stop checking for updates because every little thing reopened the wound.

I keep reopening the wounds by checking her profile

sorry you’re carrying all of this at 17. did she tell you she was with your best friend because she wanted you to know, or did you find out another way?

I found out through his brother
