I Don’t Need Them Anymore

"On Halloween, Chloe boarded a 26-hour night train to New York with her boyfriend, Leo, her two childhood best friends, Gabriel and Sebastian, and her lifelong bestie, Camilla. There were four sleeper cabins and one hard seat. Without hesitation, Leo gave the hard seat to Chloe. ""You're tougher than Camilla. You'll be fine."" For fifteen years, Chloe had always been told to be understanding and let Camilla have her way. Her boyfriend and two best friends always put Camilla first. But when Camilla posted a picture cuddled up to Leo, wrapped in Chloe's blanket, while the other two boys pampered her, Chloe finally had enough. She got off at the next stop. Forget the graduation trip. Forget the Forever Five. This time, she was choosing herself."
