🌹CHAPTER ELEVEN🌹

"I can't do this anymore, Rose. I... I have to tell you the truth" She says to me. She takes her arms out of my grip and wraps them around me and pulls me closer to her, but she is careful not to hurt me because of the internal wounds that I have.

I don't care about them, I just want to hold my best friend here and not let her go. She needs me right now and I will be there for her. "All right, you can tell me everything and if I speak in your own words 'I want to know every detail'" I tell her.

Trying to lighten the mood a bit since these are dark times and I don't want her to go through something and feel so bad about what she did that she begins to hate herself for it. She lets out a giggle but I can tell that it's a forced giggle that she made.

"Remember the betrayal that I was a part of?" She asks me and I nod my head as I remember it but I try not to remember. However, since there are a couple of memories that I am unable to remember so I think this might be hard for me. "What about it?" I ask her when she doesn't say anything after that question.

I know that I need to give her time but I also need to know to be able to help her. "I didn't tell you the whole truth of that" She admits and I can hear the sadness in her voice. I look to her with a confused look. I thought I had gotten to the bottom of that and I knew everything about it.

"What do you mean? The whole truth? What does that mean?" I ask her and I regret myself when I ask about it because I shouldn't be pressuring her like this, it could send her further back. I need to be careful with her because one wrong word or one wrong move and she breaks down again.

"You don't understand, I don't want you to hate me" She says and then bursts into crying. "Oh, Lena I could never hate you" I tell her as I still hold her body and make sure that she knows she's not alone. I really don't want her to feel alone in this.

"I swear whatever you have to tell me, you can say so and it's all right. You are my best friend and I can never hate you for anything that you do. No matter what it is, I can never hate you nor despise you. I will stand by your side and we will work through this" I tell her.

I'm not sure if she is listening to my words but I pray that she is because everything that I said is the truth in its purest form and I meant every single word. "It was me" She says to me and I give her a confused look because she already told me the part that she played in it all.

"It wasn't him who came up with the plan, I created the plan. The bar, meeting him again and just everything that happened after that. I told him to take the blame because you would never forgive me but I was only thinking of myself" Lena begins and I furrow my eyebrows.

I don't understand this but I get the feeling that I will understand in time what she is talking about. "I never wanted you to be with him. I told myself that you wanted to be with him and that you wanted to be with him and I tried to let you be with him" She continues.

"I thought that if you were with him than these horrible feelings inside of me would disappear but they never did and I don't know why. All I knew is that I had to drive you away from him no it began when I dug up the contract between your mother and his parents and paid someone to show it to you" She says and I gasp when I hear her say those words.
