Thanks be to EBT, because... Just because.
The color from your face drains.
"You‒ You can't tell Bella."
I sigh.
"I have to. I can't lie to her anymore, and I'm not going to start something with Ben unless there's a clean slate. I can't have a clean slate with this hanging over my head."
You're quiet, but your face shows that you're becoming angrier every second, and I need you to understand.
"Bella needs to know what's been going on between us. And I'm not saying that hurt you or because you think I want revenge. I'm doing it because I'm supposed to be her best friend. She deserves to know who she's in love with and who she thinks her best friend is. The moment I kissed you, the moment we made the decision to fuck behind her back, we ruined everything. And I don't want to be a horrible person anymore."
And that's when I hear someone else in the room.
I appreciate how passionate and amazing you are. Thank you.
See you soon.
