Kiss and tell
My friends shared another look, before returning their curious eyes on me.
“I know it was stupid. I realize that now when my heart got broken again. You can’t control this...you can’t control your feelings,” I shook my head, as my tears threatened to fall from their hiding place. “You see… My parents died in a plane crash. Then my grandparents died too. I sold their house to buy my apartment here, but the truth is I had no other money. You assumed I had, and I let you believe that in order to keep a secret.”
Stacy’s forehead wrinkled at my last words, and I feared to check Anna’s face. Instead, I forced myself to continue with my story before I coward up.
