“You’re lying.” Ana sat crisscrossed on the bed in front of me. “What happened?”
“Nothing.”
“Then, why are you sad?”
“Nothing. I …”
I just wanted to talk to someone.
But Ana wasn’t supposed to be in on any of this drama. Just like Mom’s problems shouldn’t become her own, Imani’s and my relationship wasn’t her problem either. And I fucking hated how I had brought it home.
I didn’t know what to do anymore. I fucking wanted Imani more than anyone ever, except I kept pushing her away. I couldn’t stop it either because I didn’t want to be attached. The only other woman that I loved had chosen drugs over her own family. If Imani told me she loved me too and then left, I would fucking fall to pieces.
I refused to do that to Ana.
So, I plastered a fake smile on my face and pretended. “Nothing’s wrong. I’m happy, Ana.”
I’m as happy as I could fucking be.
