Kelly’s POV
I saw Phoebe sitting on the couch while staring at the opened television. She looked bothered and I felt the burden she’s carrying. If Emily’s hunch was right. That she’s actually in love with Caleb, I don’t know how to make her feel better. All I could say to her was forget about her feelings but who am I to say that when I can’t even forget about my feelings for Pierce. When after all these years…it’s still him.
I sat beside Phoebe, earning her attention. She looked at me and turned the television off.
“Did you call your parents?”
She shook her head. “I don’t want them to feel that I have a problem.”
I sighed. “Phoebe, they are your family. You can talk to them.”
“They won’t understand.”
“Pierce will,” I said without even thinking. I guess my instinct was to always trust him and it grew in me.
She looked at me and smiled sadly. “He understood, but I can’t tell him everything. I’m…afraid of what will happen.”
