Tini's pov

J: What did you say?

*In that moment I realized the mistake I have done... it really came out of nowhere... what will I say to cover it? I had no control over my words*

T: What? I said that I love Peter

J: No, you said that you love me

T: No, that's not true. You should go check your ears

J: Martina, are you kidding me? You aren't a good liar and you know it

*He crossed his arms, his eyes piercing me. I should get less hot headed. This is insane.*

T: Okay. I just made a mistake, that's nothing special

J: Mistake? Are you sure because you said clearly that you love me. You know how I feel about this. But do you feel so too? 

*I didn't answer, still looking for a way out of this situation. I must have hurt him by saying that. Hurt him? Or did I just hurt myself? My head was pounding again, I couldn't come up with a single sentence. Jorge snapped me from my train of thoughts, noticing the sudden tears ready to spill out of my eyes.*

J: Did I say something wrong Tini? I'm sorry if it hurt you

T: No, you didn't... it's just... I'm so confused. I don't know how I feel. I do love Peter but at the same time I...

J: You noticed there is something going on here

T: Yes

*And just like that, the statement I wanted to express was out... I feel like a big rock fell off my chest... I can finally breathe with ease. Jorge sat closer, comforting me with his palm rubbing my back slowly.*

J: How are you feeling now?

T: Better. Now it's out so I'm feeling better. I really love Peter. He took care of me, helped me and listened to me everytime I needed it. Now he isn't here and it seems like you filled his place...

J: So I do have a chance then?

T: I... theoretically? I think?

*I looked up and saw a smile forming on his lips*

T: But I don't want us to be together

*His smile faded in a second, turning in a sad frown.*

T: I will have to leave... and I don't want to leave you with a broken heart. I can't do that. It would chase me in the dreams and wouldn't let me live. Please, don't bear with your feelings to me. It will only make everything worse.

*I kissed his cheek and went to my room to get away from him. This conversation broke my heart. But I needed to set this straight. For him and for me too.*
