You absolutely, totally, certainly, were not in love with your best friend.
There was no way you could be. Not when his laugh made you smile and especially not when he was the first person you turned to when you needed cheering up. Not when your schedule was partially planned around his game day routine which involved a text from you wishing him luck and not when he brought you coffee without you asking when he knew you were stressed.
No, there was no way you were in love with him.
