"That's good," I said, wondering what exactly that meant about us, but trying to be supportive."I was really nervous to tell you, because I don't want...to lose you as a friend. And everything that has happened between us now, I'm worried that we will never had what we had before. You were, no you ARE my best friend." Of course, you're my best friend too.
