The night in the neighbourhood was still, just the hum of a streetlamp and the wind through broken trees. You were walking through the park when a sound stopped you: choked, broken sobs coming from the shadow of a bench. Javier was there, curled in on himself, head in his hands, while his friend spoke to him uselessly. His fingers clenched the grass as if he wanted to tear it out. He looked up, and his red-rimmed eyes found you in the half-light. —She... She was MY best friend... Not his —he whispered, his voice cracked, but with an edge that iced your blood. The air grew thick and heavy. What do you do, you?
