Thanks be to Ms. EBT.
"I started to hate myself, because I still loved you."
I'm shocked.
I'm hurt.
I'm relieved.
"You were my best friend, like a sister. You were the one person I could count on. Edward− Guys come and go, but... But you were supposed to be there. For everything. And you ruined that."
I'm briefly taken back to the day I confessed. Her words are the same, her emotion's the same, but this hurts so much more, because it's now.
"It took me a while before I could bring myself to make friends, and even then, I couldn't let anybody in enough to be close to them."
I'm crying so hard I can hardly breathe. It's so much that I almost don't hear her next words.
"But I don't hate you anymore. And that's because of Edward."
