"W-what are you talking about, Piw? I d-don't have any feelings f-for Andrew aside from us being friends! Most definitely not l-love!" I am freaking out and Piwie's accusing stare is not helping me. I'm not in love with Andrew. I was just looking out for my best friend!

Piwie arched her eyebrow at me, "D-don't you ever say that you're just looking out for Andrew because he's our best friend because that excuse is so not acceptable."

Now it's time for me to raise my eyebrow at her. Is she some kind of a psychic now? "And why is it not acceptable? Isn't it our job to make sure that he's in good hands and not with a b!tch?"

Piwie cracked up in laughter while pressing her face on the monitor. "Kiara... Kiara... Kiara... You are one heck of a saint to oppose such event of a 'friend'. I know you and you could have been happy for him if you're not jealous and the more you should be happy because he already outgrew the unrequited love he has for you. Unless..." Her eyes widen on whatever conclusion she has come up inside her little head. I sighed impatiently. "Unless what?"

"Unless you don't want him to outgrow his feelings for you... Unless you want to keep him for yourself and that is selfishness at its finest if you don't have any romantic feelings for him." I frowned at her sudden seriousness. I can't blame her, we are friends with Andrew and he's been protecting us since we were kids. It's only natural for us to be protective of him too but am I really being selfish? 'Am I really becoming a b!tch for not giving Tracy and Andrew a chance?' I let out an exasperated sigh and meet Piwie's scrutinizing gaze.

"Yeah... You're right. I'm being unreasonable. I should be happy for them, right? I should be happy for Andrew because finally he has someone to take care and love him. B-but..." I swallowed the lump that is formed in my throat.

"But there's something inside me that don't want that to happen... Yeah... Maybe I'm being selfish and honestly I don't like this feeling. I don't like what I'm transforming to become." I stared at my fingers and fiddled with them. I closed my eyes and waited for Piwie to lash on me but it did not come so I jerked my head up to look at her and she's smiling at me. I creased my forehead in confusion.

"You are in big trouble my dear. I would like to point it out to you but you will not understand it if I do that so you better sort things out yourself. Are you still in love with Nathan? or Have you fallen for Andrew? Find answers for those two questions, Kiara... Before it's too late." Piwie winked at me before saying goodbye and I was left there slack-jawed.

Couple of minutes passed and I'm still staring at my laptop's monitor thinking about what Piwie had said. 'What is it exactly that I need to figure out?' I pulled my hair out of frustration and rolled over on my bed. I was on that position when the doorbell rang. I did not bother to move and burrowed my head on a pillow instead. But as expected, the doorbell rang continuously. I let out a loud groan before getting up from my bead and marched to check who that nuisance is.

I did not bother peeking through the small hole on the main door and just opened the door annoyingly.

"Hey Cuz! Zup?" I furrowed my eyebrows at the sight of my cousin Liam on my doorway. He has that annoying grin plastered on his face. Then suddenly I realized why he would come here and not sparing another minute, I pulled him in forcefully before checking if there is anyone, specifically Nathan on the corridor. I sighed in relief when I saw no one.
