Amber and I have always been extremely close.
She’s been my best friend now for decades, and she has always had my back when I needed it, but lately, I’ve been feeling slightly guilty about her supporting me without fail.

Last September, she stood up for me once again, but this time it had serious consequences for her.

Have you ever had a friend that stood up for you no matter what? Well, for me, that friend is Amber. We met each other in kindergarten, and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

Our birthdays are a week apart, so we always held a joint party when we were kids, and we would even celebrate together during college,

As we both grew a bit older and got jobs, we were afraid we might drift apart, so we reserved Sundays for catching up.

We’d get together somewhere and vent about our weeks, gossip about our love interests, and just generally enjoy each other’s company.

Eventually, Amber and her boyfriend became quite serious, and he proposed.
