After a short cup of tea and probably two slices of cake with Toni and Lucas, I've decided to ask Will out for lunch.

I left him with no explanation and I think he deserves one. 

"Hey..." he sighs. 

"Look, I'm leaving tomorrow." I begin. "I just want to say goodbye. And I'm sorry."

"At least now I know where we stand." He answers. 

"I didn't mean to hurt you."

"So do you still love him...?"

"Yeah, I still do," I tell Will, firmly.

"But I really think I should move on."

"You should too," I add. 

Even though, where we are right now is complicated, I didn't want this to ruin our friendship.

It's been really hard for me during the past months. It was really hard to decide. But now I feel like I got nothing to lose.

Will didn't mean to do anything beyond. The fact that he kissed me was the only thing he did wrong.  It's purely my fault, isn't it? 

It's fine. I admit. Kissing my (ex) boyfriend's best friend is a huge sin. 

And I guess I really need this fresh start. Whether I'm with Louis or not, I suppose I should learn how to love myself first. 

No wonder why I didn't know how to love someone else. 

"I could like you all over again," Will says. "But I know there's no use." 

"Besides, I guess this is part of growing apart...?" he added. 

"You were my first kiss too, Sunny." 

"So I figured you were so important and when I got to spend more time with you, that's when I knew why." He sighs. 

"Now that you're here, saying goodbye, I realized, firsts aren't necessarily counted."

"At least we could stay as friends?" he offers a hug.

"Of course we will." I hug him back.
