A Confession
This is my story.
I am Lila.
I have been struggling with all this for the past year.
I wrote Besties, the original story, back last December, I think, and I found it after Austin and I drifted apart. I read it and started crying a little. We were so good together! I had written it from Austin's point of view for fun. I don't really know what he was thinking. I don't really think he thought my eyes were pretty.
I posted it here after editing it a bit. Somehow people liked it! And so I decided to write my full story. I feel sorry for people who have read this and posted things in the comments, saying how the story could have been improved. I wish it could be changed that way. Your ideas were great! But since it was my story, I had to follow the real plot.
All conversations were pretty much real. Texting ones were spot on. I wanted you, the reader, to feel my pain as I went through it.
My story isn't over yet. This is merely where my writing intersects with reality. From now on, any more Besties stories will be completely unexpected for both the reader and the writer. I don't know where my story is going. I like to think of it as a choose your own adventure that I am too scared to play.
Obviously, all names have been changed. My name is not really Lila. Austin isn't his real name.
Please give me advice in the comments! I wrote this partially as therapy, and partially hoping for therapy from you guys.
Thank you to everyone who read this far! I hope my story was interesting enough to keep you hooked. I'm kinda stuck in it, so welcome along for the ride!
