Me five years ago coming off a long night bus. Realising that I was in love with my best friend. I couldn't eat for three days. I don't wish that confusion on my worst enemy.

AAA THIS OS SO GOOD I CANT BELIEVE ITS THIS UNDERRATED! Great job making this :)

[@zahramakesfilms]

thank you so much!

[@ItsAllPsychology]

I absolutely love this film from the song in the beginning, to Jade thinking the girl asked if she's gay, and how that person Jade confided in was a great friend and made that analogy about things blooming.

[@autumnolguin5329]

I remember the first girl I liked/loved.. met her at a church and we looked at each other a lot and to this day I still don’t know how or what made me so attracted to her expecially cause I didn’t even know I liked girls

[@cassie1560]

same, highschool six grade... she was so mean to everyone, I hated her... and when I went home I dreamt of her and wished she would hold my hand.

[@adriennehenson550]

Bruh my is Adrienne 💀

[@Jesus-Saves962]

Half of the people like their best friends when it comes as gay.. but after confession that best friend will no longer be ours..sad part of it is when I asked my best friend to be my companion .. she wanted me to change my sex...

[@EternalDensity]

Dangit Adrienne you tossed aside a friendship :( Glad Jade's doing okay.

[@kasper8781]

This almost made me cry. I can relate to this so much. I recently noticed I fell in love with my best friend online. We only knew each other for a while. Maybe a month but we know each other so much already. I know they have a crush that’s probably not me but I can’t help but fall in love with every detail about them. We are meeting on September 27th. Or just soon. So egg if you see this hi!!!! You probably don’t like me but hopefully we can still be friends. Oh yeah this is toko jdnfhfjfg Also amazing short film!! You deserve so many more subscribers!! 💞💞

[@lixue_izar]

I'm in the same boatttt, im a gal and have another female friend online, we're each others best friends and helped each other cope with depression. It didnt take long before I realized i liked her but I have no idea how to tell her. I don't even know if I should or not. Anyway I know I'm 2 months late to your comment but I wish you the best with your friend!! 🙂🙌

[@lillianmcevoy9014]

Lovely.

[@kesthialove5321]

I love this movie 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@joenichols725]

Her first girl wasn't for her i didn't think

[@midnightblackheart1821]

Jade is absolutely beautiful and seems like a good girl I would give her the world❤💘

[@ebazileyes1475]

Never like your bestfriend. Bad decisions. If you like the same sex find someone different/new/ not in your circle of friends. That ruin friendships. If they're really your good friend eventually they come around and be happy for you even if its later down the road or in life. Spear certain people the awkwardness and embarrassing yourself.

[@midnightblackheart1821]

She can't help it that she's attracted to her best friend you like who you like! And it took her alot of courage to tell adrian how she feels!

[@ambi9754]

Okay editing

[@theflashthefastreviewerali8319]

I thought jade was very brave for telling adrienne how she felt because she took the jump not knowing whether or not she felt the same

[@Hello-ob6rd]

This what I’m going through I don’t know who I’m I like girls I don’t really like guys idk if I’m straight or not!!
