Abby
“I support you. I support you all the way, Abby.”
Leah’s unexpected support leaves me feeling both shocked and relieved. Her willingness to stand by my side and accept this unconventional arrangement fills me with gratitude, especially after the tension that hung heavily in the room moments ago.
Tears begin to well up in my eyes, causing the forms in front of me to blur slightly. But I don’t bother blinking them away.
Chloe, however, remains silent despite Leah’s vocal support. Her face is a deep shade of red, and she’s staring down at her lap, clearly struggling to grapple with the information we’ve just shared with her.
“Well?” Leah asks, turning to Chloe. “What do you think, Chlo?”
But Chloe doesn’t answer right away. She’s still silently fuming, her eyes darting back and forth. I can practically hear the gears turning in her head from where I’m currently standing.
“Leah,” I murmur, “what made you want to support us? I know it’s crazy, and I hope you know you’re not obligated to agree with this scheme.”
Leah’s eyes meet mine, and her response is unwavering. “Abby, you’re my friend," she says gently and earnestly. “I trust your judgment, and if you believe this is the right path, then who am I to judge? As your friend, it’s important for me to be there for you, not at odds with you, you know?”
A warmth spreads through me at her words, and I can’t help but close the distance between us, enveloping Leah in a tight hug. “Thank you, Leah,” I whisper gratefully. “Your support means the world to me.”
Leah smiles, rubbing my back, and pulls away after a few moments. “What kind of a friend would I be if I didn’t trust you?” she asks, glancing over at Chloe. It’s a warning glance, as if she’s silently telling Chloe to put her reservations aside and stand with her friends. “That’s what friends are for, after all.”
