Don’t fall in love with your best friend. Seriously, that’s the best advice I can give you. Never, ever, allow yourself to have feelings towards your best friend.

Why? Well, I should know that. My best friend is perfect, funny, sweet, beautiful. They are everything you look for in a person. And they made me forget my advice. I fell so deeply in love I can never go back in it but I can never go forward either and ask them out. Why can’t I? That’s simple.

When in a book have two best friends actually worked out when they dated? Simon and Clary broke up, Jacob and Bella didn’t date at all even though he liked her. In fact, in all my desperate searching to find some good reason to ask my best friend out, I found only three couples. Percabeth, Malina and Romioney. And everybody hates Malina.

So when the odds are so stacked against us, is it worth risking our friendship? I could lose it all because I was too greedy and asked to be more than friends.

But while I sit here, decaying in my thoughts, they smile and laugh and do everything that makes me love them. And I know when I see them like that that I can never spoil that by wanting more.

So I will sit here, dying in the shadows, forever. Why? Because they are so happy now and I would hate myself forever if I took that happiness away from them.

That is why you should never, ever fall in love with your best friend.
