There's a time for love, and there's a time for friendship. For nearly eighteen years, friendship dominated my life. For the last few weeks, love has dominated my life. Though if I put an immense amount of thought into it, love and a new kind of friendship have begun to dominate my life. While Lissa and I had known each other for years and been through a lot, there were just some things I could not trust her with. There were things about my life that she would never understand. In comparison to Lissa Dragomir, Dimitri Belikov was a different type of best friend. He understood me on a level that Lissa couldn't even imagine. He's had similar experiences to me. He knew the trauma of losing a best friend. He knew what it was like to guard another with his life. I could tell him things I was far too afraid to even think about telling Lissa. It was like Dimitri and I were made for each other, two halves of a whole.

He was my best friend.

He was my lover.

That's why I broke her heart when I left.

That's why I chose Dimitri over Lissa.
