"You have a boyfriend?... I mean, you had a boyfriend, and you broke up? Shelby couldn't mask her surprise. Why did I never know about this?" she asked, feeling hurt. Many thoughts ran through Shelby's head as she tried to understand why her friend would not tell her something as major as this.
"I'm sorry…"
Ava knew that she was wrong about this, but the timing never matched. First, it was because of Shelby's marriage, then a whole of other issues and then Brianna's BS, then her issues…
The list went on and on, but Ava realized that Shelby never kept secrets from her, and she, on the contrary, kept a whole lot of secrets. At that moment, Ava saw how dependent she had come to be with Rocky because Rocky knew more about her than her best friend, Shelby, did.
