RILEY

“It’s girls time, Nick; you should leave.” Bailey said to him, and he gave me a long look before leaving both of us alone. “I didn’t remember telling you to stop with the dagger,” she said.

“It fell.” I lied.

I didn’t know if she bought that, but she spoke no more about it, taking a seat beside me.

“I’m going to tell you a story, one I had never told anyone before. Well, you would die in the end, so it makes no difference.

I was in love once. I don’t mean the casual crushes and those little feelings girls have. I was in love with Nyaos; he had always been there for me when I needed him; he helped me so many. times; I can’t even count the number of times he had saved my life. But Nyaos loved another; I was the ‘other woman‘, and I knew that.

Katara believed we were good friends; she trusted me; she trusted the both of us, and I knew what we did behind her back was very wrong, but I couldn’t help myself. Nyaos said he loved us both, and though I always wanted more, I could settle for what I had, and that’s what I did. Katara was my best friend, and I betrayed her. When she found out the truth… I expected her to get mad and angry at me for what I had done, I would have deserved her resentment, but she never spoke about what happened. Maybe she did hate me, but she never showed it. I could, never forget the kiss she gave me right before she took her own life. She hung herself.

It was a strange thing to do, but only years later did I understand her intentions. She wanted me to feel guilty; she knew that with the guilt in my heart I would never be able to go on with the relationship I had with Nyaos, and that had been exactly what happened. With her gone, Nyaos was ready to give me his full attention, just as I had always wanted, but the guilt I felt wouldn’t let me love him back, at least not in the way I once did.”
