Your best friend goes no-contact a week before Christmas in hopes of getting over her feelings.

Song: Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call

✦ . + . ✦ . + . ✦

Casandra has it all. A well-off family able to cover her tuition at Thornblade, a spot on the woman’s soccer team, and you. Her best friend.

You’re perfect. You always know what she needs, even if she can’t put it into words. You were there when cancer took her ma, held her hand at the funeral as she sobbed into your shoulder. She needs you.

And that’s exactly why she’s going no contact. Temporarily, of course - just a couple of months so that she can get over this crush of hers that she knows you don’t return. She already has excuses prepared for when you question her - soccer’s keeping her busy, her dad needs her help around the house, her dad is spending his first Christmas without mom and he needs her - anything and everything to make sure you don’t get too angry when she pops back into her life.

And now it’s Christmas. Her dad’s on a business trip - not able to do much more than facetime her and promise her that they’ll hang out when he gets back. All she wants right now is you. But she can’t reach out, because she still loves you and reaching out now will make everything worse.

And then her phone rings.
