Why? Why do you have to do this Izzy freaking Blaze? I was happy! I was finally happy and now your dragging me back down again!

She said she loved you!

As a friend. As her best friend. Nothing more.

But didn't you say you were happy with just that?

Yeah, well, Common Core says that we are learning useful math. People lie!

You love her!

So I'll let her go.

Why not be at least friends again?

That would break me again!

So you are going to ignore you love for her, ignore a great friendship you have, because of what? The fear of falling apart?

Yes! Now shut up!

But your breaking her! She's losing her best friend!

Honestly, I don't care! She's put me through much worse. She ruined me! I won't feel guilty returning the favor.
