"Face it, Sarah, you have feelings for him!" He shouted, finally addressing the elephant in the room.
My anger faded, as I felt my cheeks become flushed, hesitating as I tried to deny the inevitable truth, "No... No, I don't! Joshua, now you're grasping at straws, don't be ridi-."
"I don't want to hear that shit!" He cut me off, getting angerously close, his voice very low as I felt his breath on my face with every word, "I see the way you look at him. The way you smile, laugh, I see how you act. I know this because you used to do that with me!"
I couldn't explain this away. I couldn't even find the will or the words to deny it. Not this time. I did have feelings for Gabe, and my worst fear came true. Joshua could see it.
