Dante interlocked our fingers and held me tight. This... this was how it was supposed to be... this seemed right to me... "Is something wrong?" he asked quietly. I had realized that tears were rolling down my cheeks. I looked at him before bursting into tears. I threw my arms around his neck and cried into his chest. "I want to be with you! I don't want to hurt you anymore... I care too much about you!" I cried. He held me close to him and kissed the top of my head. "You are with me. No one will separate us. I love you too much to let that happen. I love you so much I am now able to wait for you, I'll wait until you are finally able to tell me you love me," he said and he lifted my chin. Tears kept flowing down my cheeks and I was much too embarrassed to look at him. He leaned down ad kissed my lips gently and then embraced me very tight and I could feel his love. He loved me so much yet I couldn't imagine how hurt he was by the fact I couldn't tell him my true feelings. "Dante... you mean everything to me..." I whispered. "I'm so glad..." he whispered back still holding me. This was right. It had to he right... I felt like a completely different person in his arms... I loved him so much. Later that day... "So you love him more than me, huh?" asked Kendra. I had gone to her home to apologize for my actions... "Yes. I'm so sorry! But I love him so much it hurts! And to think... I hated him and was frightened of him before everything..." She sighed and turned her head. "Fine. If that's how you feel then that's just fine." "Kendra... please don't be angry with me. I love you too. But my love for you is much different than what I feel for Dante. You are a sister to me... A best friend. Why does that have to change?" "Because... I love you." "Don't say that! Not if you don't mean it! I won't believe it!" He eyes widened. "You doubt my feelings for you?" she asked. She seemed taken aback and she sat down on the couch. "Yes. I do. I can tell that you love that teacher and you just won't admit it. I'm not stupid..." She shook her head. "I-I don't... I really don't!" "Stop disbelieving it! Can't you tell?! Whenever you're with him you feel happy inside and your face grows hot?! That's love! That's not what you feel towards me!" "It's what I feel when I'm near both of you!" she shouted but immediately covered her mouth. "I didn't mean that... it's only what I feel when I'm with you." I couldn't take it anymore. "You selfish b*tch!" I shouted and I slapped her hard across the face. "You stupid idiot! How dare you!"
