Thanks be to EBT and Khar.


She's still standing over me, still trembling.

But she's not yelling.

She's calm as she tells me what I've done to her, how I've ruined everything she's ever known.

I don't deserve her calm.

"All I wanted for you was to find what I had with Edward... what I thought I had. I wanted you to be loved and be happy, because that's what best friends want for one another."

I sob harder.

"You were more important to me than he was. As much as I loved him, you were more important. If you'd just told me about how you felt, I never would've gone out with him. I never would've loved him. I would've even broken up with him and hoped there was a way for me to be happy without him."

I can't breathe.

I'm crying so hard I can't breathe.

"I know you're sorry, but that's not enough."

She cries harder.

"Get out."
