I feel terrible. On one hand, my best friend is in love with my brother and I don't want them to be together because I feel like Noah's taking her away from me. But on the other hand, she just broke up with the guy she loves, thinking he doesn't love her, even though I know he does. I wish I could tell her the truth. That Noah loves her. That I asked him to say he didn't love her. That I made Noah choose between me and Elle. That this breakup is my fault.
"Lee, tell me one thing. I know he tells you everything. This whole time, since we started our relationship, has he just been pretending he's into me because I'm hot?"
As much as I want to tell her the truth, I have to stick with the lie I created. "Yeah. I'm so sorry Elle" I say. She has no idea just how sorry I am.
She cries even more and I decide to pretend I'm going to confront Noah, even though I'm really going to thank him.
"I'm going to confront him Elle. No-one treats you like that and gets away with it"
She wipes away a tear and says "thank you Lee. But I'm coming too"
This is not how I wanted this to go. But I say "come on then".
