there's betrayal and there's Betrayal

Me
You know all the bitching and bad-mouthing your ex-boyfriend you do with your very best friend upon a break up? The “He is the scum of the earth” and “jerk of the century”, etc, type of stuff? Yeah, I was looking forward to all that with my best friend to help me get over my stupid ex that just dumped me. And guess what, my very best friend and my very recent boyfriend got together. Heck. The world as I knew it ended. All I know is that it was not the same world I inhibited.

Her
You know the cliché sappy moment where you meet the perfect man? Your eyes met and you knew it was love? Well. It happened. But unfortunately, it happened so suddenly, so immediately to me and it’s with the guy who just happens to be my best friend’s boyfriend! I certainly didn’t expect it, nor did I want it. I didn’t even have time to avoid it. Damn! I mean, for heaven’s sake, he’s my dearest friend’s boyfriend! Somewhere someone up there must really hate me. That or, God must have a really warped sense of humor.

Him
You know how most guys dream about having two perfect women to choose from? Well, trust me, it is hell on yourself. There I was, with the most perfect girl I ever met, whom I believed I could spend the rest of my life with. And then, she introduced me to her best friend and I learnt that all I ever knew about love was just crap. It was not the best moment of my live. Seriously, it didn’t come as gentle realization or a thunderbolt from the sky. It went more like, “damn it, why me, why now”, what the heck am I going to do. I didn’t want to hurt either of them, but I probably will end up hurting both. I’m a total jerk.
