Hey, I need to talk to you about something.
Yeah?
I'm really confused about something and I just wanted to get your opinion…
Yeah…?
I think I'm in love with someone.
Weren't you already?
Yeah. That's why I'm confused.
Okay… What made it change?
I was in love with Evan, you know that… but I think I'm falling for someone else. I'm not sure though…
Oh…
But when I describe how I feel about them to myself, it sounds like love.
Huh…
And I get that jumpy warm feeling in the pit of my stomach when I talk to them. Or think of them…
Well, do you think they like you back?
No…
How do you know?
They've told me that they contemplated being with someone else, and I just know… it's a weird situation.
Oh…
I've been thinking about it for days. It just confuses me, cause there's still Evan, but I'm closer to this other person…
It's kind of hard to help you, since I don't know who it is…
I know, I'm sorry… but if I told them it would make them feel bad and awkward, and I know for a fact that I'd be rejected. And I'm not even sure. Sometimes after I tell someone, it just goes away… that's part of why I don't want to tell them too, but I feel like I need to. Then, there's what to do about Evan… I feel almost like this is a fantasy, like I can't even believe it myself. That if it really did happen, I would hate it because it'd cause problems… it's like I'm watching it all from the outside, or dreaming and waiting to wake up.
A weird situation how…
They're a girl.
Oh… I thought you said you were straight?
I thought so too, but I don't know. Maybe not.
How long have you known this person?
A long time… we're really close.
Closer than us?
I can't say.
Why?
Because it is us.
What do you mean…?
I think I love you.
