Today Nico slept all day which was good so he was finally catching up on old sleep he missed. I was talking to Jason in the dining hall when Jason asked why I spend so much time with Nico. I told him it's because I'm trying To get Nico healthier but Jason didn't buy it. I snapped at him and asked why he thought I hung out with Nico so much then. " You love him, obviously" Jason snapped back. " I care for him" I corrected. " You care a bit too much then because it looks like love." I don't think it does. These words bit at me for the rest of the day. I asked one of my siblings to watch over Nico for a minute while I contemplated Jason's words.
It looks like love? What does he mean by that? Just because you care for somebody doesn't mean you love them...right? Jason's words luckily didn't change my feelings about Nico. My dad later asked me why I wasn't as smiley as usual and I told him everything. He asked me how I really felt about Nico, and the truth is I consider Nico like a brother or a best friend to me not a boy friend or lover like Jason said. My father told me whatever I feel is how I should consider Nico and I's friendship. My father also warned me to let other people's words bother me or change my personal feelings about someone.
