I stayed home from school yesterday, not really feeling well. I had barely slept at all. My Mom didn’t mind since I haven’t missed a day all year. I had so much on my mind, and I had to stop myself from calling Derek. He has been messaging me, but I just avoid it. I already told him I would not talk on the phone. I needed to tell him the truth, and I would do that face to face. I can’t believe I went through all this just to have my heartbroken by the one man I tried to hide from, to begin with, my mate. I should have just rejected him from day one, instead of giving love a chance. If I was honest, I was happy I gave love a chance, because I wouldn’t have to regret it if I just rejected him. Everyone thought I should just tell him and sail off into the sunset, but they weren’t me. T
