It wasn't love.

"I fucking hate her", he yelled at the top of his voice, he was red with anger and on the verge of crying. He loved her. She was my best friend (stress on 'was'). She didn't love him much. He was just a crush for her.
It all started with a simple 'Hi'. She was single for a couple of days. Idk. We were best friends and then she started ignoring for some reason. I never understood what it was for. "Hi", she said. "Hey, how are you?! Long time no see..". And half an hour of all those day's memories were still fresh in their mind. I was feeling so down that day, I didn't even realise that he confessed her love for her. When she told me about it, I was shocked.
My middle school crush confessed his love. :| to my 'kinda best friend. Wow. Great. Now what?
Just a week after I came to know that they broke up!?! I went over her place just to find out she was enjoying her day with her so called new boyfriend! I started interrogating. She said, "Yes, we broke up. So what?" I was shocked. "I was just fooling around. It wasn't serious. He is a good person, but I can't love him!" "But what about the week you spent with him? "." that? That was fun. Much pleasure (she winked) you should try him." I was so pissed off by what she said and I left her place and headed to meet him. Anil was sad to the core. The cappuccino didn't entertain him. On the verge of tears, he said, "She could have told me if she wasn't interested. I wouldn't think of all the fantasies with her. All the 'I love you'. 'I will never leave you'. Everything was fake. I shouldn't've trust her." I heard a crack in his voice. A week. Obviously 2 years additional. That's all the time required for two people to bond. He was my crush. Seeing him sad wasn't making me happy either.
The next day he texted me saying that they met and had the worst fight ever. I called him. He was so furious. I could feel the pain in his voice. He was sad. I knew he was breaking. I met him next day.
He hugged me. He wanted someone who could take care of him. Who could glue all his pieces together with love. I didn't know what to do. I don't know what to do now either. I just know that we are best friends now and no one's gonna break us.
Is this enough for the proof that a girls nd a boy can be best friends? Even though he was my crush. I still love him, but as a friend. (not the friendzone though. 😁)
