Complicated.

That was one word for what going on. Or rather what wasn't going on.

Link and I had been in this weird place with each other. I had confessed my feelings for him. I had been holding it in for a month, and I just kind of blurted it out.

And Link being the lovable dork he is told me that had feelings for me too. I felt my heart skip a beat. But he doesn't want to rush into things with me because he just got out of a toxic relationship with Zelda.

To make things worse, I had also gotten out of my very first relationship with Dark a couple months earlier. Unlike Link's relationship that was only a week, my relationship with Dark cut way deeper. Even now, it's hard to not be with Dark. It hurts me to see him.

I just got back from class, so I decided to text Link. Maybe that would help me clear my mind?

LINK

Link, I really love you.

I'm sorry, I think I still need some time.
Don't get me wrong, I do like you but I just
need time because of what's happened.

Listen, I fully understand and support your
 decision because this is best for you...
I just want you to be happy no matter what

I want you to be happy too

I would never forgive myself if I
made you miserable because
you were dating me

I could never be miserable if I was dating you

Well that's not true.
I mean take Dark for example. I
made him miserable and he
made me miserable.
I just never want to put you
through the things me and
Dark did.

You didn't make him miserable
he was just being selfish

How was he selfish?

Because he took you for granted.
He didn't know what an amazing
person he had as a girlfriend

Yeah... sure
Dark and I didn't work out
 because I was a bad
girlfriend and we were just
 doomed to fail at the beginning.
It was just a bad relationship
and we weren't good for each other.

You were not a bad girlfriend though

I kinda was

You weren't

How do you know that?
You didn't know me then.

Because I know you, you would
never wanna be a bad person to anyone.
You're an incredible person
 and nowhere near terrible

No I'm not

Yes you are and
never question it

Ask Dark

Why should I ask him?
Who cares what he thinks.

He'll tell you how I was
a bad girlfriend and
all the reasons he hates me

Why should I listen to
what that terrible person
 has to say?

Because he'll tell you how
terrible I was and how
our relationship was unhealthy.

And that's mainly his fault

I was the one who made him unlove me

He's the one who made
you extremely uncomfortable
during the relationship.
He's the one who said
those bad things to you.

He's the one that betrayed you.
Why should I listen to someone like him!

I won't lie, he made me
uncomfortable and treated
 me horribly but it
wasn't anything
I didn't deserve

You didn't deserve that!

Yes I did.
I was a bad girlfriend
and person in general

No you're not.
(Name) I can argue
this all night long.

You didn't deserve it.
(Name) you're an
amazing person and
you would never be a
bad girlfriend

It's just he is trying to
manipulate you into
thinking it's your fault
 when it clearly isn't

why would you say that?

Because I love you!

Making me blush
won't help you win this

I'm not trying to
 make you blush

Well, you are
But, he's not
manipulating me,
it was my fault

He's just trying to put the
 blame on you when you
 don't deserve it

(Name), please. Who
are you gonna believe?
Someone who loves
you or someone who
cheated on you?

I really want to believe
you because I love you so
much but it's hard because
he's right.
He didn't want me in
his life because he found
someone better.

I just wasn't a good fit for
him since he dated so
many other girls and
 he was my first.

Just forget about him,
 he wasn't right for you.
I have to go, but this isn't
 over. You deserved so
much more than he gave you.

I love you, okay. Don't ever forget that.

I won't, and I
love you too.
