My Best Friend's Sister

by Q.B. Tyler

“He told me you said I was yours.” Her eyes water. “But I’m not. Not even close.” False, Ava. You and I both know that’s false.

“I would never hurt Ava. Ever,” I interrupt. “Tucker…this isn’t some fling.” “Bullshit!” “Fuck you, Tucker, I LOVE her!” I scream.

“There’s another Remington, and she means more to me

than anyone else in the world. She’s who I want to spend the next twenty-five years with-- the next hundred and twenty-five...,” I trail off. She tucks a hair behind her ear and looks up at me. “So... you kinda love me, huh?” I nod. “I do. I love you, Ava.”

“I’ve mentioned it. She thinks I’m crazy. But… I’m twenty-eight. I know what I want. I would say she’s not sure but-- she is. She just enjoys tormenting me.”
