Alex nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah, but - Ugh! It's just so not like her! And trust me, I hated doing that. It's not like me to take away something just because I'm mad."
"I know, but you couldn't just sit back and act like it was all fine and dandy either. Letting her take your money and then treat you like dirt without a actual reason. And if I were Danny, I wouldn't care if I had a reason, I'd still be grateful that you were paying for my tuition. The stuff isn't cheap. Besides, an act of kindness like that is hard to come by. She fucked up, Alex. So, don't let it make you feel bad."
Alex sighed, knowing he was right, but the guilt stayed in the pit of her stomach. "I just wish I hadn't had to do it. I never expected anything from her except appreciation. I at least deserved that," she stated as she solomnely walked over to the washer where her clothes had just finished being washed.
"You did, which is why she fucked up," he consoled watching her place her clothes in the laundry basket. "If she couldn't have given you appreciation for your kindness, no matter the circumstance then she doesn't deserve your help."
Alex turned to him with a smile and a happier glint in her eyes. "Thanks. I needed to hear that."
Andrew nodded his head. "No problem. That's what boyfriends do," he replied with a grin. Alex smiled back at him and carried the laundry basket to the other side of the table, where she would have easier access to the dryer. When she was finished she sat back down and gave Andrew a kiss of thanks.
"Don't let it get to you," he said after she pulled away and looked into her eyes. "She's not worth it. You can wish all you want, but Danny will never be the friend that you need." His words were true and they brought sadness to them. Alex would have to let go of her childhood friend. She didn't like it, but she knew it was something she had to do.
"Guess you're right," she sighed.
