Eliza is so furious that she slams the door behind her on her way home. She still can't believe that Audrey dared to threaten her and, being on edge, she goes to the kitchen to get some water while trying to calm herself down. However, she was far from imagining that Angel is there, especially since she used rude words out loud in anger. Aged twenty-three, the eldest of the family wants to know why her sister has also gone upstairs and she goes to join her in the kitchen.
- What's happening to you? she asks as she enters the room. Why are you so angry?
- What are you doing here Angel? wonders the teenager. Aren't you supposed to be in class?
- I don't have class today. On the other hand, I return the question to you! Aren't you supposed to be in high school? she bounces while pouring herself a glass of juice.
- I'm not very well...
- I noticed it... What's happened to you since last night? Did your boyfriend leave you?
- I'm single, Angel, and you know it.
- Why did you cry so much then?
- Did you hear me? wonders Eliza.
- Of course, I heard you. Do you know that your room and mine are only separated by a wall? It hurt me a lot to hear you cry so much... I wanted to come and give you a hug, but I preferred to stay in my room in case you wanted to be alone.
- Your hug would have done me good... I would have liked to confide, but I can still do it today.
- Exactly, continues his big sister with a smile. Tell me what's wrong.
- You promise me that you won't make fun of me? she asks him shamefully.
- I'm not going to make fun of my darling little sister! I have no intention of judging you either. Quite the contrary. I will do everything I can to guide you.
- I'm in love with Noah.
- I know that, but I told you not to have feelings for your best friend, but you didn't listen to me... Angel reminds him.
- Feelings can't be controlled...
- He took it badly when you told him the news? Is that why you're so sad?
- I told him that I love him, but he thought I was talking about our friendship. I didn't try to make it clear to him what I wanted to tell him either.
- Where is the problem then? There's no reason to be sad if he didn't understand. You will do it again the next time you find yourself alone! Besides, he often comes to the house. You just have to enjoy it!
- The day before yesterday, I never had the audacity to tell him that I loved him and, during that time, he was flirting with girls. He ended up finding someone he was interested in.
- Are they already a couple? asks her big sister.
- They aren't yet, but it's only a matter of time now.
- I still have a little trouble understanding why you're so sad if your prince charming is still single.
- Noah doesn't seem to be interested in me at all. However, I do what I can so that he notices me! This situation frightens me; I don't know what I'm going to do when he gets married to her.
- He doesn't notice you because he considers you his best friend and not a woman. Fight for her love before the other manages to get a hold of her, especially since I understand she's interested in him.
- I feel like I'm fighting against a Miss World. Audrey is gorgeous. She is well cared for, her linen is matched with all her accessories, she walks delicately. She's basically everything I'm not. I have no chance against her.
- Have a heart-to-heart talk with him, honey. Maybe he feels the same for you and doesn't dare tell you either. There is a real chemistry between you and you will go really well together.
- Do you realize that I'm taking the risk of breaking our friendship?
- I don't think confessing your feelings for him would break anything. You know Melissa, don't you?
- Your friend? asks the young lady to be sure.
- Exactly. She was also in love with her best friend. She confided in him about her feelings. They never dated, but that never broke their friendship. His friend made it clear to him that he already loved someone else and they continued to act like they did before. However, I know two other people who are no longer friends because of this kind of story.
- I think you could have kept that last sentence to yourself.
– In fact, they are not best friends anymore because they are married and they have two adorable daughters. Besides, you know them.
- Are you serious? Who is this couple?
- Mommy and Daddy, my darling! They were best friends and it was dad who made the first move. If he hadn't, mom would definitely have found someone else and we wouldn't be here today. So, I would advise you to try your luck before it's too late.
- What do I do if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore? asks Eliza, still somewhat worried.
- Stop asking yourself all kinds of questions and fight for the love of your life. Do you seriously think his girlfriend will allow you to stay attached to him? Chances are you won't be able to approach him anyway, so it would be silly not to give it a shot.
- It's funny that you talk about it... I ran into Audrey this morning. At one point, we found ourselves alone and she flat out threatened to hurt me if I didn't get away from her boyfriend. She dares to call him her boyfriend when they are not even a couple. From that moment, I decided to do everything so that Noah was mine.
- That's why you violently slammed the door on your way home! understands Angela.
- That's it. I asked him to come see me this afternoon. I'm going to talk to him about it and it would be great if he agrees to give me a chance. If he refuses, I will have to learn to live without him; Audrey won't let me near her anymore. She made that clear to me.
This conversation with Angel convinced Eliza that she must put aside her fear of losing Noah and fight for what she wants. Suddenly, she is determined to tell the young man everything she feels for him, including the threats that Audrey made against him, something she absolutely did not appreciate.
