“This is to you. This is to you, his best friend. The girl who puts up with more taunting, teasing, and endless torture that she ever should because she knows he teases the people he loves the most. This is to you, the girl he always calls first to tell about his big news or just to talk to someone about the latest episode of Lost, even though he knows you don’t care, but you’ll listen. This is to you, who picks him up at any hour, at any place, when he gets into another fight with his parents, and he knows you’ll drop everything to go and get him. This is to you, one of the guys. The one who laughs when they tell you they sometimes forget you’re a girl, or when they create new nicknames for you that aren’t cute, but mean something relating to you being a whore or a slut. This is to you, the girl who was there when there was too much alcohol and too much loneliness in the room that night and things got carried away. The girl who spent the next week hiding from her parents with hickeys on her neck. The girl who never asked you about what happened and just accepted that you didn’t want anything more than that night, though that might have been just what she wanted. This is to you, who shells out endless amounts of money that you really can’t afford. This is to you, when you realize his best friends have become yours. This is you who set up those dates for him with your cute friends when a piece of you is actually jealous. And to you again, when you are the one who helps him through his relationship with all of those girls. This is to you, the girl who hears everything that people say about you two, and this is to you again, the girl who chooses to ignore everything they say. This is to you, the girl who never thought she would say the sentence “No, we’re just friends..” so many times in her life. This is to you. The girl who ignores the looks, the comments, the rumors, and the speculations of everyone else. To the girl who know the true meaning of friendship, even if she is “one of the guys,” or if she does maybe want something more. This is to the girl who wouldn’t give up what she has for anything, because she is happy. This is to you.”
