The worst thing for Elena Ryder was falling endlessly for Harry Grey. The one guy that had everyone's attention since high school and the same guy who had been friends with the famous Shawn Smith. Elena, Shawn, and Harry had all been friends since elementary but it all goes south the moment feelings arouse. Shawn was in love with Elena but she was in love with Harry. 
As time goes on, Elena realizes Harry would never look at her the same way Shawn does so she decides to take a chance on Shawn who would never give up on having her. Harry left Seattle for England that year returning four years later, re-opening that lost feeling Elena hid in her closet.

Loving my boyfriend's best friend

Last night was everything I wanted. I wanted Elena to be mine alone. I was full of regrets for not fighting for her. We both wanted the same thing. To be together but now she thinks it can never work. I know have betrayed Shawn but I have to start thinking about my happiness, not others. 


Taking a bus home was a bad mistake because teenage high school girls wouldn't stop flirting with me. It only made Elena irritated and also jealous. Trust me, I know when she's jealous. They treated her like she wasn't even beside me as they were asking for my autograph on their butts and chests but I like the fact that she was jealous. We never spoke till we got into the house seeing Shawn having breakfast. He was calm but something felt different. 


"Where were you guys last night?" He said taking a glass of water after finishing his meal. 


"Umm...We were looking for you. You weren't picking any of my calls and it got me extremely worried." Elena replied, feeling uneasy. 


"Forgetting to explain the part that you guys never came back home and spent the night alone at a place I don't seem to know. So....you aren't done explaining." Shawn said calmly, facing me. 


Elena let out a laugh that didn't seem to be real. I think he just pressed her angry button. 


"Are you being serious right now?! I was out there worried about you, Shawn and we come back home and you ask me crap. Oh, I almost forgot. Would you mind telling us where you were last night? Probably went to a place to get laid! So....I think you have some explanation to do." Elena says releasing her anger. I never thought she would say this. This was the first time they argued but she was right. 


"Well..." Shawn clears his throat before he continued speaking. 


"What happened after that? Where did you spend the night?" Elena asked. 


"I can't remember. But I came back home and took a shower to clear my mind." Shawn replied but I had a feeling he was hiding something. 


"Oh, but never again refuse to pick my call." She pinched him playfully and they kissed. Anger rose within me. Elena is mine alone. 


"Thanks for protecting her," Shawn says but I wasn't even listening. I hate the way he acts as if he owns her. She's mine. I took a bottle of alcohol and went up to my room. I didn't get more irritated watching them. I can't even believe Elena would really act like nothing ever happened. 


I was in the living room watching TV. Shawn had left for his studio. He said he was going to take long. I got hungry so I went to the kitchen to make some toast. I waited for Harry to come out but he didn't. Was he still angry at me? I took some of the toasted bread with a glass of juice and knocked on his door but there was no answer. I was unsure of what to do as I pace around. I finally opened the door only to see Harry coming out of the shower cleaning his face with a towel but completely naked. My body froze like it was the first time seeing him NA...KED.
