The Friendship Still Standing
Ah, the sweet, melodramatic saga of new relationships.
Saraph, my best friend and partner-in-crime, embarked on her whirlwind romance, and I thought it was the beginning of the end for our legendary duo.
You know how it goes: new bae enters the scene, and suddenly your bestie is texting you less, canceling plans, and turning into a human emoji factory with all their lovey-dovey messages.
But nope, not us! Instead of drifting apart, we somehow managed to keep our friendship alive, thriving, and hilariously chaotic.
First of all, let me say this: Saraph didn't just "fall" into her relationship;
She practically swan-dived into it.
One day we were discussing whether pineapple belongs on pizza (it does, fight me), and the next day she was all googly-eyed over her new boo.
Naturally, I prepared myself for the worst, a slow fade out of our friendship, replaced by candlelit dinners and heart-shaped emojis.
But Saraph? She had other plans.
Despite her newfound romance, Saraph made it clear that our friendship wasn't going anywhere.
She made it a point to keep me in the loop about everything.
And when I say everything, I mean everything.
Over lunch, she'd mimic his awkward attempts at flirting so perfectly that I'd be laughing so hard, tears would stream down my face.
Honestly, her relationship updates were better than any rom-com I'd ever seen.
But it wasn't just about the gossip.
Saraph and I still hung out like the best friends we've always been.
Lunch breaks were sacred, our time to catch up, crack jokes, and roast each other mercilessly.
Her relationship gave us even more material to work with. I'd tease her about how she suddenly started saying things like:
"We love this song," or "We're thinking of trying yoga."
We? Who's we? Last time I checked, I didn't sign up for a group chat with her boyfriend.
Of course, I had to remind her that just because she was in love didn't mean she could escape our usual antics.
We still joked around like two kids who'd just discovered sarcasm for the first time.
Whether it was creating ridiculous nicknames for each other or pretending to have fake arguments over who ate the last fry (it was always me), our friendship remained as goofy as ever.
Honestly, if her boyfriend ever felt threatened by anything, it wasn't me; it was our shared sense of humor.
One time, during a group hangout, Aaron asked, "Wait, is this how you guys always talk to each other?"
We looked at him like he'd just walked into a reality show midway through the season.
"Buddy, this is the show," I replied, and we both burst out laughing.
To his credit, Aaron took it like a champ.
He didn't try to wedge himself in between us or get jealous.
He seemed genuinely entertained by our nonsense.
He even joined in sometimes, tossing back sarcastic comments like he was trying to earn his place on our sitcom. Respect.
But here's the thing: Saraph's relationship didn't change who she was as a person or as a friend.
If anything, it made our bond even stronger.
She showed me that you can fall in love without falling out of touch with the people who matter most.
And honestly? That's pretty awesome.
So here we are, Saraph with her boyfriend, and I.
Our friendship hasn't dissolved; it's evolved into something even better.
Sure, there are times when she'll cancel plans because of "date night," but I can't even be mad.
Why? Because I know that no matter what happens, we'll always have our lunch breaks, our inside jokes, and our ridiculous banter.
If your friendship is built on laughter, trust, and a shared love for mocking each other's bad decisions, it'll survive anything, even heart-shaped emojis.
As for Saraph and me? We're still hanging around like the best friends we've always been, joking, laughing, and proving that no relationship can outshine the epicness of our bond.
Sorry, boyfriend. You're great and all, but I was here first.
But When the Laughter Fades...
It's funny how life can feel like a constant joke until suddenly... it doesn't.
After all the teasing, banter, and sarcastic comebacks, there comes a quiet moment.
The kind of silence that doesn't beg to be filled, just felt. I had one of those moments the night after Saraph and Aaron's big announcement.
I was alone in my room, scrolling through the dozens of pictures from their mini photo shoot earlier that day, Aaron holding Saraph's hand like she was the most precious thing in the world, her eyes gleaming with joy that didn't need a filter.
And just like that, the humor fizzled. My grin softened. The laughter faded.
It's not that I wasn't happy for her. God, I was thrilled. Saraph deserved every ounce of that soft, golden light she was wrapped in.
But there was a strange ache sitting in my chest, one I couldn't name right away.
Maybe it was the realization that things were shifting, even if subtly.
The late-night calls might now become earlier goodnights.
The spontaneous movie nights might need to be scheduled between dates.
And even though nothing had changed yet, something in the air said it would.
And me?
I was... standing still.
Everyone seemed to be moving, falling in love, planning futures, stepping into new chapters while I was flipping through the same page, unsure if I was ready to write the next one.
The next morning, I didn't mention the heaviness.
I didn't have to. Saraph noticed it in the way my smile didn't quite reach my eyes.
"Nu," she said gently, nudging my shoulder. "You okay?"
I shrugged. "Yeah. Just tired."
It wasn't a lie, not entirely.
We walked in silence for a while. For the first time, it wasn't the comfortable kind.
It was filled with the unspoken truth that even the closest of bonds stretch when new strings are added.
I didn't want to be stretched. I wanted to stay close, tightly wound in the safety of our bubble.
But life doesn't work that way, does it?
Still, I knew deep down we'd survive this too. Change was inevitable, but real friendship? It bends. It doesn't break.
I just needed to find where I stood in the middle of it all.
Maybe it was time I opened myself up to new people, new paths, and new feelings I hadn't allowed myself to explore.
The world wasn't just moving on without me. It was inviting me to move forward, too.
I just had to say yes.
