Ever heard of Jake Henderson?
I have.
I definitely have.
Because I went to primary school with him.
We were best friends.
Everyone thought we would stay friends forever.
They thought we would do everything together, always.
And we did.
For a while.
But then we went to secondary school.
I became popular.
He didn't.
He became the nerd who sat at the back of the class, who always handed in his homework.
The perfect student.
And I ignored him.
Because I was greedy.
I wasn't content with the great friends I had.
I wanted more.
But I ended up with less.
Now he's one of the most successful singers of the year.
Now he has other friends.
And I'm sat here working in a coffee shop 6 days a week.
I'm sat here regretting not staying with him.
I'm regretting ever abandoning him.
Because he has a new best friend now.
Someone much better than me.
A much better friend than me.
Rachel Daria
The girl everyone ships Jake with.
The girl everyone thinks Jake is dating.
And that could have been me.
I could have had all of that.
If I had just had a bit of loyalty.
A bit of patience.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
But now I'm full of regrets.
Because that could so easily have been me.
