Dylan is the unpleasant dream that you need to wake up from”, Astrid half yelled. “From what you just told me, it’s clear that he never loved you. People don’t cheat on the people they love. It’s over between you two, why can’t you see that?”. “Astrid l know”, I replied. Tears starting to sting the corners of my eyes. “It’s just that when you’ve spent so much time loving someone.

You need to fight for your happiness, forget about your sister, " she added.

“You know I care for you both and I have nothing to do with the rivalry, but this is really weird, you realize that? You hated each other and now suddenly you’re in love? It doesn’t make sense.” “You think we don’t realize that?” I asked. “We have tried to stay away from each other, we’ve sabotaged this at every turn and still we’re here, crazy about each other.
