Secrets

I've always felt alone.

Even with my best friend, I'm alone.

Surrounded by a group of people, knowing they will never know the real me.

The me that I hide inside.

After all, how can they? I hide from all…and myself.

I'm scared to face the power inside me, the power that makes me me---The Mediator.

The power is so large…..and powerful……

And I have no one to unburden my problems on.

I've always been alone.

But…….not anymore.

After all, how can a person be lonely if they have someone watching over them?

Protecting them……

Loving them.

Yes, I know.

I know that Jesse loves me.

He's tried so hard to hide it, but he isn't good at hiding stuff as I am……not nearly as good at it as I am.

He doesn't want me to know.

He doesn't want to hurt me.

It's too late for either.

I know……..and it hurts.

It hurts where it's never hurt before.

My Heart.

I love him.

I have since I first saw him.

But Jesse doesn't know about it.

And he never will.

I'm good at hiding things.

Keeping secrets.

Jesse won't ever know.

I won't let him.

After all……..

                A Mediator is also a Secret-Keeper.
