She looked at me with fear in her eyes, a fear I couldn't fathom.
"Shanan I-I-" she stuttered "no. That man, my father is dead" she looked up as another realisation hit her
"And my mother?" She knew the answer and we both knew it. I wished she would look away from that she would just cast her gaze elsewhere because I couldn't deal with her torment but I had to
"Shanan I-" I cut her off
"Don't say anything, just listen. When Will rejected me I was broken and when my pack abandoned me I was shattered but when I lost my mother and you and now my father I felt, and still feel, nothing. All there was was emptiness within me but then I saw a picture of you and everything was right again. From the very get go you have been by my side. The only constant in my life" she looked into my eyes
"I've always thought of you as a sister and you took my mate" my stomach clenched "and I should hate you for choosing him over me but I don't and Shanan you know I would never a stop loving you so tell me the truth" she knew me, she really did
"I only took Jared from you because I knew you would forgive me. If I ever had any doubt in my mind that you would hate me then I would have given him up. I love you just as much as I love him but Shanan you are my best friend, my other half and I could never hurt you like that, not if I knew you would never forgive me" this was Neena, my Neena. The Neena that made me laugh and cry and agitated me at the same time and her friendship was something I would never sacrifice! not even for Jared, but Neena loved her too and Neena would never make her give up Jared
"I should probably be surprised but you know what? You always have been my sister" I laughed, a genuine and heartfelt laugh, it was something I hadn't done in so long. My heart felt relieved and it was all thanks to Neena, the only person who had stuck by me. I threw my arms around Neena and squeezed her tight
"Alright, alright. I love you too" Neena said with a laugh "now go on to your knight in shining armour" I wanted to go straight to my knight in shining armour but first I had to let go of my handsome prince
"You can do this Shanan. He deserves a chance to move on, a chance to try and find love and he can't do that if you don't let him go" Neena was right, as always. I had a choice to make, I had been so unsure this entire time but it was time to make up my mind. It was time to let someone go. I had a heart to break and a heart to make. The answer was obvious, it had been all along.
