Lovely Problems

Chapter 11

"Helena, you seem quiet this week, TELL ME YO PROBLEMS!", Anne pleaded.
"Well...ok. So William is apparently my boyfriend now, first to be exact, but I'm also in love with Jordan", Helena answered.
"Oooooooh a love triangle now?"
"Yes. And I just feel so guilty. William asked me serious questions, and I had to respond politely, I did love him."
"So lemme get dis straight...you love TWO boys now?"
"Yes. If Jordan had heard me and William's conversation at church, he would probably never wanted to see me ever again"
"Hm...ok so you want to make sure they don't find out about each other?"
"Yeah, so a fight doesn't start, or anything violent"
"But that's sort of hard don't you think? They could find out"
"I know, I know..."

Helena sighed and put her hands against her head.
Anne felt a little bad for her friend, but secretly disappointed that #Jorlena could die.

"If I have to choose between them when I'm older, I honestly don't know who!"
"Well, here's a clue. Take a look at what's on your ankle."

Anne was right. Jordan and Helena shared so many memories together.
Diving and attempting synchro, racing each other at sprinting, teaching her soccer, watching movies together,
"Mustard is like you without your passion for violin", a memorable quote of his.
Helena could feel her smiling gently thinking about them.

"I just can't decide, I mean Jordan is probably the best decision, but William could develop."
"Helena", Anne placed her hand on her shoulder, "This is way too much pressure for someone like you, isn't it."
"I love them both!!!"
"You know what Lena, I think you deserve a day where we just go have fun. Ya know, to ease your mind off of these weird boys."
"Aw, thanks Anne"
"Alright. Does messing around, shopping and ice-skating this Saturday sound good to you?"
"Perfect."
