He seemed to have noticed something too—as he wouldn’t talk. ‘Did I creep him out with my feelings?! He’s the most important thing to me!’
“I…I think I may…love you too…so…do we hold hands or hug or…” I couldn’t make eye contact with him. “…kiss…or something…?”
At that moment, I backed away. “WHAT?!” I couldn’t handle this—not what he was indicating, not what he was saying. I couldn’t bear the thought that he could be lying to me just to keep himself alive—I’m not completely oblivious to my temper.
The next thing I knew, I was running towards the group again, anything to keep me from crying—I could handle outright rejection, but to force me to believe a lie?! I didn’t want to think that he thought I was that stupid, that gullible.
He couldn’t love me—I just told him to get it over with. I didn’t believe him—I thought I could, but I couldn’t. I could never let myself believe anyone other than Cloud, and that’s how it would always be.
“I’m sorry Prince, but I can’t believe you.”
I turned away and walked back to the group.

The dejection on her face made me hate Prince—but in a way, it made me elated. It sickened me, but I hate to think of sharing my sister.
I couldn’t help but smile at her, even if she didn’t look even remotely happy.
I always depended on her—and it was only when I saw her leave with him that I realized that she was more important to me than I ever thought.
The truth was I was jealous of Prince. And I would keep her away from him for as long as I needed her—I only wanted her to myself.
I hated myself for feeling this way—but I wasn’t going to change who I was…even if my sister hated me in the end for it.
