Authors Note: Sooo...That clip sure made me sad. In my head Sana is very self sacrificing, and so I think she would absolutely remove herself from the drama and try to start over...kind of like Even. This is mostly told through a letter Sana writes to Noora.


Dear Noora,

I know you hate me right now, and I don't blame you, honestly. I should have told you about William, but I was just trying to protect you. I didn't want to see that broken look on your face; the one you had at the bar. This is why I was trying to get you out to meet new people. I wanted you to figure out for yourself that you are better then William. You deserve better. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. I shouldn't have kept that secret.

Now that you know that secret, I feel that I need to tell you another one.

I am in love with Yousef.

We have known each other for years. He has been friends with my brother ever since I can remember. These past couple years we have just sort of revolved around each other. There were shy glances and smiles, but it has never gone anywhere beyond that. And then the last few weeks it felt like we were growing closer. We became friends on Facebook, and we started texting. And, just a week ago, the day Elias got drunk, he offered to walk me home. We ended up at the park, where we finally started talking. It felt like we were finally connecting. And, as we stood outside my apartment-the way he looked at me, and the way he forgot his words...that was the moment I knew that I had fallen for him.

You are the girl he chose to kiss though.

Honestly, I was crushed. The first guy I had ever had feelings for was kissing someone else. Why couldn't it have been me? I found myself wondering what was so wrong with ME. And, then I realized how selfish that is. Because you are amazing. You are one of my best friends, and who knows, maybe Yousef is "the one" for you. Maybe this is how it was supposed to happen.

Yousef is beautiful. He is kind and smart and he even knows how to cook. He works with children and he doesn't drink. He is everything that you deserve, and I think you should give him a chance.

I feel like I need to step back. I need to let go and allow my heart to heal. And so, if we don't hang out for a while and we don't talk as much, just know that I love you. You have been so kind to me, and tried to understand me when nobody else would. I want you to be happy.

-Sana

Sana closed her eyes and allowed one single tear to slip down her cheek, before she took a deep breath and sent the e-mail. It was her last form of communication now. She had deactivated her Facebook, Instagram and twitter. She couldn't bear to see all the comments about her brother and his friends. The Pepsi max girls were ruthless. By Saturday morning she had been kicked off the Russ Facebook page and removed as buss boss. Which, she knew was going to happen thanks to the gossiping girls in the bathroom, but using her brother's "Homophobic beliefs" as an easy excuse, Sana was dismissed from 'Flawless since 99'.

Eva and Chris called her the minute it became official, but she didn't answer. Vilde and Noora hadn't contacted her, which, again, was not a surprise. Vilde has gotten everything she wanted since she started talking about Russ. She has a group of friends who are just as shallow and air headed as she is. They deserve each other, Sana decided.

Noora had every right to be angry, and even though all of the girls knew about William, Sana took the fall. She may have lost her friends and the guy she was in love with, but she had her health and her faith and that was enough. She would allow herself the weekend to feel sad and angry, and then Monday morning she would let it all go and start over.


End Note: Love it? Hate it? Let me know. I am contemplating adding chapters to this.
