The next step: conflicts

I lie... deep down inside....

James' POV

I look at Thalia, I don't have a crush on her, but, I known her for a long time now, she has to stay strong..... sometimes, I lie to myself, because deep down inside, even though my heart says it'll be okay, my whole body says no matter what she won't, I see Riley crying, I know she is one of Thalia's best friend, I put my arm around her

"What do you want?" I say to her

"I want you to tell me everything will be okay" Riley cries

"I'm sorry, I can't" I say

"WHY!" Riley cries

"Because, I keep thinking don't even worry 'bout it, but, the truth is, if we don't worry about it, it gets worse, and it won't get better, only worse, hey I should put that as a poem, but anyways, a year ago I promised myself to never lie deep down in my heart, so I can't say it's ok, because that would be lying to, you, and myself, and you know I would never let myself get away with lying to myself, or you" I say

Riley starts bursting into tears

Kate's POV

I am thinking about doing something dangerous,
