While he was saying his piece, I was busy commanding my tear ducts not to shed a single tear, not now. I have to fight back my tears. When he finished, I squared my shoulders and tried my best to put a brave front. "I know," a weak smile formed at my lips. "You don't have to say you're sorry, it's not your fault if you can't love me back. You can't teach your heart and yes, I know that you're in love with my best friend. I can't do anything on that." A tear fell from my eye. I shortly brushed it away with the back of my hand. "It's okay, I just need to went away to have some time to accept things," another tear fell from my eye. "Please don't cry," he pleaded. I gather all the strength that I could have to stay strong in front of this man.
