Gosh. Where do I begin? Okay, let's rewind, I suppose.

Last week, you texted me. I was on the computer, doing nothing in particular, when you wrote me the one thing I would never expect to hear from you.

"Daniel can go die in a hole."

Yes, I do admit, he used you, tricked you, and pretended to care for you when he really didn't. And for that I am sorry.

But I can't help but wonder; am I being selfish by not stopping this thing I have for the guy I like?

I know that you want me to be happy, and for that, I love you. But you seemed so sad today, yesterday, and everyday. I know your heart is hurting, but am I making it worse? I have no one else to ask.

If I ask you, you will dismiss it as if it were no biggie. If I asked my parents, they would tell yours, and then you would get in trouble. If I asked my friends, well, they don't know you; they don't know how to help you.

But I must know. It has been eating me away inside for a while now. I see him, and I feel guilty. I talk to you, and I feel guilty.

Should I?

I still do not know.

So, my sister, I need you to answer - directly and honestly. I must know if my feelings have any effect on you. I know Whyville will not be a good place; people will tell me that if you were a true friend, you wouldn't care.

But I would not be a true friend if I didn't care either. It's a two way relationship; it won't work out if only one of us is putting in the effort.

Please, tell me.

Be true to those you love,
