"I'm sorry, but I realized I've always actually liked Star," - Marco says staring me in the eyes with a sorrowful expression.
"All right, I understand, we can be at least friends," - I smile at him gently.
That's when I started this whole act, playing the role of the kind friend and companion, with a mask of a smile and the script of "all right" for everything.
The only ones who knew about my cries and heartaches are my pillow, my shell necklace, and my skateboard.
I really like Marco, but if he prefers Star over me, I'll let him be happy, I won't be the one to get in their way with my pain.
I'll just continue with my role of "Jackie Lynn Thomas the simple human and faithful friend."
Until that invitation arrived a year after, which I secretly lived out with a lot of pain and suffering.
"Marco and I are having a party with all our friends to celebrate our one-year anniversary! We really wanted you to come!" - Star smiles in a lively and hopeful way for a "Yes."
That was undoubtedly the most painful invitation I've ever received. But I didn't let it show and gave Star the answer she wanted so badly.
"Of course! I'd love to!" — smiled gently at her.
I didn't believe it, as I was so stupid to accept to go to a party that would celebrate a year of much love and joy for him, but for me, a year of much pain and tears.
But as always since a year ago, I had to pretend to be okay for both their happiness, and if they were happy, my enjoyment didn't matter.
That's what I thought until I dug up amid alcohol and revelations a feeling of suffocation, anger and a lot of sadness.My broken heart finally exploded, and my mask finally fell forever.
