Jess didn't talk all morning. She just walked around, shuffling her feet. I couldn't do anything to ease her pain. I was her best friend. I was supposed to be there for her and comfort her, but I couldn't do anything. I didn't know what to say. I knew the truth. But I also knew that she wouldn't believe a word.

Harry was the bad guy. In my mind, he had always been the bad guy. But last night, when I heard him on the phone, I could hear how sad he was. Niall and I had no idea what to do. We just sat there, quietly, as we tried to break down the new information we had learned. How were we supposed to use it? How could we use it to ease her pain? We had nothing. It was a long night of contemplating and brainstorming. I barley got any sleep last night, though, I could imagine Jess didn't get much sleep either.

She was too silent. Didn't utter a word and I found it scary. It was like she gave up. It was like she had finally shattered. Getting your heart broken once is enough to break you, but twice? It killer her.

"Jess?"

Her head turned sharply.

"Can you just talk to me?" I practically pleaded with my voice.

She sighed. "I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because." She looked angry.

"Because why? I'm your bestfriend. Please just talk to me. I can't stand it. Why won't you talk to me?!"

"Because if I do, then it's real!" She yelled at the top of her voice. Her eyes were widened and bloodshot. "If I...talk about it, it...becomes...real." She gritted through her teeth. "I can't."

She was good at not talking. But, then again, she was good at talking too much. She'd either eat about her feelings until she was blue in her face or she wouldn't say a word, which was more torture than her yelling for hours. The silence was harder. The crying, I could take. I just couldn't take the silence.

I knew that I needed to do something. We couldn't just sit back and watch our friends hate each other and fall into spirals of depression.

TO: Nialler<3

We hve 2 do sumthing. I cnt take it anymore. Is Harry ok?

FROM: Nialler<3

I don't think he came home lastnight. Do you want me to talk to the boys?

I thought about it for a while. Should we involve our friends into this? Louis would be heartbroken if he knew that Harry lied to him, even if he had to. We were all out of options.

TO: Nialler<3

Yea. Talk 2 them. Its better they hear it from u. Just tell them what I told u. We need 3 help them.

FROM: Nialler<3

Okay babe. <3

TO: Nialler<3

:\ good luck <3<3<3

This was it. They were going to know. This entire problem just got more complicated. I was afraid what it would turn into. There was no way that this would go smoothly.
