Friends (The Extended Version‪)‬

James and Angelica have been best friends forever, only for him at least, they've never only really been besties. It's full-blown, gut-wrenching, heart-thumping, palm-sweating love with a capital L as far as he's concerned.
James has been in love with his best friend from the first moment he ever laid eyes on her but he has never known quite how to tell her. Now things have got even worse, because she's getting married to someone else and he still feels the same way...
Can he (should he?) tell her before it's too late or should he just forget all about telling her and forever hold his peace?
This version is told from both Angelica and James' side of the story.
The original short story, entirely from James' POV is included at the end.
