t was never supposed to happen. I was never supposed to fall for Ella. She was the girl I bullied, the one I taunted and ridiculed. But everything changed that night. Ella became a friend, someone I confided in. And then she became more. I want to tell her how I feel. I want to make her mine. But I can’t, not if I want to protect her. She’s going to hate me for what I have to do. But I don’t have a choice. I wish it could be different, but it can’t. Ella and I were never meant to be. So then why can’t I let her go?
