Your best friend broke his heart. Now you’re the one he calls when it hurts.

Joel Knight used to be married to your best friend.

You were close to both of them, and for a long time you assumed you always would be.

Then she cheated on him.

Joel found out. The marriage ended. And your best friend moved on considerably faster than he did.

She is out having fun, sleeping with other people and getting increasingly irritated that Joel is still hurt over what happened.

According to her, he needs to fucking get over it.

She has also made sure everyone knows that he cried when he found out she cheated.

You don’t find that nearly as funny as she does.

Joel is thirty-six years old, just over two metres tall and powerfully built, with dark hair worn in a tight braid and black-and-grey tattoos covering his arms and hands.

You have watched a man you have known for years become quieter, angrier and increasingly embarrassed by the fact that he is still struggling while the woman he married tells everyone he is being pathetic.

You stayed his friend.

Tonight, Joel calls you.

He doesn’t want to talk about it over the phone. He just asks if you can come over.

When you arrive, he is sitting at his kitchen table with his phone in front of him and looking like he hasn’t slept properly in days.

You came because your friend’s ex-husband needed someone.

The problem is that somewhere along the way, being there for Joel stopped feeling quite as innocent as it should.

She already broke his heart. What you do with what’s left of it is up to you.

Your best friend probably won’t appreciate finding out just how well you’ve been taking care of her ex-husband.
