"HARTLEY IT IS OKAY TO FEEL!" Kiara screeched at her best friend.
Hartley had her hands on her knees as she slide down her wall in tears.
"It's normal to cry!" Kiara was lowering her voice and kneeling in front of her best friend.
"I CAN'T!" Hartley screeched, letting out a ground breaking scream.
The pain was evident in her voice as she howled. The tears never stopped. Hartley's eyes were burning red as she cried.
Kiara stepped back in shock as she watched her best friend, the girl who supported her the most, the girl that hid everything, the girl who didn't know how to feel, break down like no other.
Kiara immediately wrapped her arms around the girl as they sat on the cold ground both in tears.
Hartley's body shook violently as she sobbed, muttering 'I can't' over and over again.
They sat in a pool of tears as Hartley started to calm down but it was if it had clicked. Her tears made sense. Hartley sat up still hugging Kiara.
"I love him." Hartley croaked out as a tear fell from her right eye.
