#HappyFriendshipDay #WritcoStoryPrompt54
Your best friend in the world calls you and tells you a secret that changes your friendship forever. Write a story in the conversation and the aftermath.

It's at dawn as I saw Ariana's call, I was surprised because though we are best friends and can hardly do without each other we don't usually call each other because we prefer chatting when we are apart. With anxiety I answered the call.
"Good morning love, how are you doing?" her voice rang into my ears.
"Fine, hey why didn't you text me?, you are disturbing my beauty sleep for God's sake" I shouted back at her.
"I shouldn't have called but if I didn't I won't have the courage to do so later, so let me talk,hmmn.......?" she said nervously.
"Okay let's hear your sweet story out" I replied playfully.
"Ehem......, the thing is that I" she trailed off.
"Hey, I would go back to sleep now"I threatened though it's not a full threat because am also feeling sleepy.
"Arghhhh......., I don't know how to tell you, wellvi think you must know. You see I got pregnant for your fiance and...... "
" what do you just say, oh wait wait wait today is not the first of April am I right?, please stop all jokes, please"I laughed.
"I am serious, please you should let me explain I...I...." she explained nervously.
"No don't say anything again, please just shut up pleaseeeeeeee....." I shouted at her and threw away my phone as I collapsed on the bed crying heartbreakingly destroying everything close to me.
After the call that morning I was called by my parents who informede that my fiance called off the engagement, I played along lieing that we both planned it. My friend called me again but I ignored her call. Then my fiance called, I answered his and he started explaining to me I cut the call and broke my sim. I cried for days before I got back to normal even at work when I saw my friend who is one of my employees but I acted as a stranger to her. I later forgave them but I and my friend relationship became less affectionate, even though I adore their child.
