"invite him to dinner then. you, diego, and him." lana cynically smiles.

"oh for fuck's sake, you're doing that again."

"that what?" she frowned and looked up, faking confusion.

"tryna make me admit something. out loud. as if that was gonna change anything." i reply.

"admit what?" i swear sometimes i wanna kill her.

"you know damn well what."

"oh, that you miss fucking skies?" she laughed. i slightly slapped her arm as i laughed too. "i guess we were both wrong about it. but try and say it out loud to yourself, some time you'll see that diego can be the best man you could ever meet, but skies is the one you'll always want." she shrugged and took another bite of her sandwich.

"oh, thanks for reminding me that i made the wrong choice."

"nah, it wasn't a wrong choice. everything happens for a reason, kota." i take a deep breath — she really believes that 'eVeRyThInG hApPeNs FoR a ReAsOn' shit, but i know i could just have never given diego expectations and try again with skies. "maybe if you didn't choose diego, you wouldn't look at skies the same way you do now; maybe you and skies would get together again and he would make the same stupid mistake. no one knows, we just know what happened and we have to make more choices about it."

"yeah, "maybe"." i throw quotations marks in the air. "this is bullshit, lana. what way do i look at skies now?"

"like he's the man of your dreams. that no man is better for you than him. that not even a guy like diego would make you forget him." she is right about it, though. "did you look at him this same way when you started dating diego?" i shook my head no. "see. everything happens for a reason, and the reason this happened was to show you that no matter what, you'll always remember of him. he might be the right guy for you."

"might. oh how stupid i was. i really should have chosen skies."

"did you not just hear my whole damn speech?" she frowned. we both busted out laughing.

"yeah, yeah. sorry. but the thing is that i can't dump diego. i know i love skies way too much but i still love him. in some way, i love him. i don't wanna see him hurt. and i know i will hurt him a lot if i dump him for skies. he'll be hurting so much." once again, my heart broke just to think of diego crying because i left him for skies.

"i... I THINK I HAVE A SOLUTION!" lana's crazy sometimes. she jumped from the couch as she ran to the kitchen and left her plate in the sink. "OK." she stood in front of me as i rose my two eyebrows, waiting for her to talk as if she looked dumb — which she did. "you're going on tour with skies, right?" i nod my head. "right. it is in a few weeks?" once again nod my head to questions she already knew the answers. "right. you go on tour, and i'm sure you'll have a break or some shit. you'll spend some time with skies. then when you get the chance to meet diego, you make your decision:," she put both of her hands wide open in front of her body, far from each other. "either skies," she raises her right hand. "or diego." then the left one. "you get it?"

"kinda."

"what do you not get?"

"what do you mean by "when i get the chance to meet diego i make my decision"?" i ask, as she slowly walks back to the couch.

"ouch. you either break up with diego or keep him. are you dumb?" rude bitch.

"ok. but i don't see what's the difference between making that decision then or now."

"ok then do it now." she shrugged. "see? if you spend this time with skies on tour, you'll know for sure if you should break up with diego or not. if he really deserves you back."
