my best friend's worst boyfriend

Last week, I went to the movies with my parents and saw something upsetting. I
wish what I saw had been a joke, but it wasn't. Marco, who is my best friend's
boyfriend, was kissing another girl. I didn't know the girl, and I didn't want
to.

I felt frustrated because earlier that day, my friend Alejandra had called me
in tears, saying that Marco had canceled their plans at the last minute, and it
wasn't the first time. Now I understood why he had canceled on her before.

What made it worse was that Marco saw me and smiled as if nothing was wrong.
He seemed to think he could cheat on her without consequences.

If Alejandra had not found out about his cheating before, I might not have been
sure if I should tell her. But in the end, I did it because I care about her
and want the best for her. I told her that her boyfriend had been cheating on
her. She didn't believe me at first, but after many conversations, she realized
that Marco was not a good person, and she decided to end the relationship that
had been causing her so much pain.

Now, she has found the peace she so needed, and our friendship has been
growing.
