I was telling her all of this for her own good, but not only did she refuse to believe me, she even thought that I found all men in the world unreliable because I had been hurt before.

We were initially talking about her, but the spotlight was abruptly shifted to me. I couldn’t help but feel sad when she exposed my scars right in front of John.

 

“Natalie, don’t you trust me?” I peered into Natalie’s eyes and pressed further, refusing to accept this reality.

“John is my boyfriend, and I’ve given him my everything, so I believe that he loves me,” meeting my gaze, Natalie said with certainty.

Hearing Natalie’s answer, my heart sank to my stomach. It was clear she was determined to trust John.

 

“Why won’t you believe me? He admitted it to me himself. We’ve been friends for so many years. You know I’d never lie to you.”

I remained undeterred because I hoped she’d believe me.

“It’s exactly because you’re my best friend that I’m willing to tolerate this, Anna. From now on, I don’t wanna hear you say another bad word about John. He’s my boyfriend, and I choose to trust him!”

Seeing as I was persisting, Natalie’s eyes filled with anger.
