here's the truth:

she loves him and he doesn't love her back.

it's something that makes her sad.

but not in the i'll-slash-my-wrists-and-drink-and-do-drugs kind of way. it's more of the this-is-just-how-it-has-to-be kind of sadness. because she knows that this was what they were destined to do.

to love someone who doesn't love them back.

and even though it sends waves of pain throughout her each time she sees him look at her the way people look at the sky, she toughs it out. because it's not his fault that she's the wolf pining away for the moon who only ever has eyes for the sun.

and that's what she thinks carly is. their own little miss sunshine.

and when she smiles at them, she can't blame freddie for falling in love with her because a smile like carly's put the stars in the sky.

and sam? she was a creature of the night, of the dark side. destined to be dangerous in the daylight and to only ever show her longing in the safety behind shadows, and have it hidden once again by sunrise.

so, she doesn't feel angry, not at all. she doesn't blame carly, because carly's her best friend and she knows that it's not her fault that she's everything he's always wanted. she doesn't blame freddie, either, because she pushes him away so hard sometimes that she's surprised he keeps coming back. it's because of carly, she figures. most of all, she doesn't blame herself.

it was always meant to be this way.
