I was sat across from my dad in our back yard, currently beating him in a game of scrabble.

"So you finally got through to Jayden? Thought that boy was never planning on getting out of his room"  I placed my tiles in a row spelling out the word 'wolves' causing dad to chuckle under his breath.

"Yea but it came with a price, he confessed his love to me" I rubbed my temple as I felt my tension headache coming back. Jayden and I were once an item and sure we were happy, heck we probably still would he if we had of worked on a few things. It was our age that made it difficult, neither of us were experienced in the dating category, we were each other's first love.

"And how do you feel about that?" He followed that question with the word 'broken'  on the scrabble board.

I racked my brain for an answer and to be quite honest, I didn't know. How was I supposed to tell Mason? Do I tell Mason? If I felt the need to tell him does that mean I secretly still had feelings towards Jayden?

"I love him, as a friend and that alone is enough for me to jeopardise any chance of Jayden and I being together again, anything that could potentially ruin our friendship is forever out of the question" I looked up and held my dads eye contact as I said it, to emphasise how serious I was.

"I'm very proud of you honey, you're growing up to be the smart woman your mother and I hoped you would be" I smiled and felt my head lift a little higher as my body filled with pride.

"Thanks dad"
