Kian and I have avoided answering our friend's texts for the past three days. It wasn't because we thought they all deserved the silent treatment, we just wanted to put the drama on hold. Well, as much of a hold that could exist in this situation.

I've talked a lot with Danny and gotten to know him a little better. I don't know if I can completely forgive him for what he did in the past, but I know that the guy isn't as bad as I imagined him to be. I just wish I hadn't rushed out here during a crisis. Everything would've been a lot better.

I could tell that something was changing. I wasn't exactly sure what, but I felt different. I felt like I wasn't as innocent and protected as I used to be. Maybe finding the letter helped with this change, or it was Rachel's long-hidden secret. But I know that I'm not the same person I was a few weeks ago.

Kian knows that. He can tell just by the way I'm acting. I wish I could tell him that I was fine, that I was still the same Davina he loved, but I knew I couldn't. It wouldn't be the truth.
