Chelsea looks at me in horror.
The bell rings and students start to clear the hallway.
"How-" She hesitates. "I thought.... I thought you didn't remember."
"I didn't, but my heart didn't." I state."I might've forgotten all about him but my heart held on to his memories. My heart held on to the pain."
She doesn't say anything so I continue.
"I always wondered why I'd have nightmares, I always wondered why I'd suddenly feel sad, I always wondered why everytime, I feel like I carry a burden in me," I pause. "But now, I get it."
"You didn't tell me all these things." Chelsea says.
"I couldn't understand what was happening, so why would I think you could!"
"I'm your best friend. I'd have helped."
"Best friend?" I chuckle. "If you were truly my best friend, why didn't you tell me about Nathan?" I ask her and she takes a step forward.
