"I love you" Joey said.

"Wait! What?"

"N-Never mind..." Joey stuttered as he looked down. I could feel the pain radiating off of him.

"Joey, we've been friends since we were in diapers. I love you too but not romantically. I think of you as my twin brother." I say. His head shot up as his eyes widened. Soon after he bursted out laughing. I gave him a confused look before he explained.

"I meant love you as a sister. Why would I have romantic feelings for you!?" Joey says. I could tell what he said wasn't the trust but I start laughing too before I answer his question.

"Because Payton just said he loved me so I wouldn't doubt it if you loved me too!" I said while I had the biggest grin on my face.

"OMG YOU LOVE HIM TOO!!" Joey whisper yelled. I quickly shh him and nodded my head. He took his hand and covered his mouth.

"How can you love someone who has beaten you up for years?" Joey asked. That thought ran through my brain thousands of times before I answered.

"I guess because of the little mommy we shared when we were alone." I say looking down as random thoughts passed through my brain.

"What moments? Spill the tea sis" I laughed when he said spill the tea. He was a real comedian.

"(Explains all of their sweet moments)"

"Wow I didn't know Payton was that sweet?"

I sat in silence, thinking about Payton. Until all the bad memories came flooding back to my head. I felt tears slide down my cheeks.

"Hey are you ok?"

"N-no Paytons the reason I'm here. H-he hurt me. Bad. How can I love someone who is just saying he loves me to hurt me in the worst way possible. Heart break."
