Margo Ananada and Tashi Duncan used to be best friends.

They bonded over their love for tennis and for being the best. Tennis was their first love, and it was on the tennis court, with a racket in hand, that they felt right at home. Without tennis, they were nothing and both girls knew it. They were young, rich, and successful which led to them being so close. But even though they were best friends, there was always room for comparison and competition. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer, right? 

They loved each other but they wouldn't hesitate to shove the other to the side if it meant they could be on top. Tashi would win more competitions, Margo kissed whatever guy Tashi had her eye on first, Margo booked deals for brands Tashi liked, Tashi liked to use Margo's insecurities against her, etc. But even though they could be awful to each other, they'd always crawl back to each other. They were two rotten peas in a pod.

And then two boys entered their lives and ruined everything.

Art Donaldson was the first boy Margo actually liked. He was handsome but he was sweet and absolutely adorable. Margo had him wrapped around her finger. But Tashi took notice of how close the two of them were, and swooped in. It was normal for the two girls to take things from each other. But this was different. Margo was head over heels, and it seemed as though Art loved her too. But Tashi took Art from Margo and continued to climb up to the top. Margo was left with Patrick who wasn't the boy she wanted but the only one she could get.

Things seem to look up when Tashi suffers an injury that ends her career. With Tashi gone, Margo was able to take her place and be a tennis star. She drifted apart from Tashi until they didn't speak anymore. She even gets married to Patrick and for over a decade, Margo tries to move on. She has the life she's always wanted but something's missing. Or rather, someone.

Margo's forced back into the past when her husband wants her to coach him against Art himself in an upcoming match. She's forced to see her old flame and her ex best friend again and really; Margo wishes she was the one to have a life altering injury just so she could get out of this. Because nothing was worse than the pain of reliving the past.

final notes...

✷ ahhh i loved this movie and i love art so much so i had to make a tragic fic for him

✷ while this is an art fic, margo will be technically married to patrick. while also having a toxic homerotic relationship with tashi. so yeah this is a whole ass love square

✷ there is NOTHING gayer than having a rivalry with your best friend and the two of you are both girls. tashi and margo loved each other (and they still do in a messed up way) but they also hate each other and had to compete against each other constantly. including now.

✷ as for art and margo, they are the definition of right person, wrong time. and then with margo and patrick, they really just married each other because they both remind each other of tashi and art (patrick represents all of the memories margo has of art and margo is basically tashi 2.0). it's super messed up and they're also lowkey toxic but we'll dive into that later

✷ margo is a bad bitch (with the occasional mental breakdown here and there) and i am so excited to write her story!

✷ i want to dedicate this fic to -digitaly, franksocevn, kieranculkins, nostalgiclogan, and wallowsinangst who wanted me to post this in the first place when i posted a message a couple days ago!

✷ this story belongs to me and only me so please do not steal and plagiarize it or else i'll be very pissed but also very sad, so just be kind please.

✷ this story contains mentions of sexual content (there's not gonna be any smut whatsoever but it will be mentioned), alcohol, drugs, shitty parents, suicidal ideation, heavy discussions of mental illness, eating disorders, etc.
