The Art Of Letting Go.

TAOLG 3.

"He said that?" Tatia asked me after I had finished telling her about Danny's feelings. I really didn't want to tell her. In fact, I was planning on hiding it from her. But I did it for Danny; he looked so damn happy.

Tatia was a year younger than me, sweet sixteen. She was prettier too, although we had the same brown hair and same blue eyes.

"Yes," I rolled my eyes.

I felt Tatia smile as she combed through her hair and looked at me in the mirror. She knew about my crush on Danny. "Are you okay?"

I looked up at her, shocked, "Me? Of course, Tats!" I acted happy, as if I didn't care. But oh dear, I did. Every ounce of my heart broke as I pictured the two together. Tatia placed the comb in the drawer, tied her hair in a ponytail and sat on the bed next to me. She then held my hand in hers.

"Nicole, I know you are older, but I need you to be honest with this young sister here. Okay?" she suddenly turned all business like.

I sighed and nodded.

"Do you love him?" she dropped the bomb.

Now, that was a tough question to answer. Did I love him? Hell yes, I did. But how could I tell her? It would only mean breaking whatever great friendship Danny and I ever had. And I didn't want that. If there was any way I could keep Danny close, I would.

So I laughed, "No way! Danny and me? Seriously? Oh he's a stupid ass. I don't love him. For God's sake, he's best friend!" I lied as tears came out. They were actual ones but I faked them to be laughter tears. Why was I even crying? Why was it so hard?

Tatia feebly smiled, "Good, because I do. And I don't want to hurt you." with that, she left the room.

I smiled too, taking in what she said. But after she was gone, I locked myself in, and cried.
