It Just Takes One

Part 2

- Kathryn's POV -

So there's this guy named Cole. And we click so indescribably well.. But he has some health issues. And those issues mixed with his medications and treatment make him slightly bipolar.

Don't get me wrong, I still know his feelings for me.. but I'm just not feeling it.

But if I tell him, he'll think it's because of his cancer... So I've started distancing myself from him. Less texting non-stop for hours. Less time at school together.. I mean ditching him isn't my smartest idea, but I don't know what else to do.

Truth is I still love my ex, Isaac. However he not only has a girlfriend.. but he's Coles best friend. Sounds bad right? It gets better.

There's a sort of love triangle here.

Cole likes me.

I like Isaac.

Isaac likes Trinity.

Life is just so confusing right now and I don't want anyone's feelings hurt, including my own. I mean I don't want to be selfish, but being happy surely wouldn't be a bad thing.

But Cole needs me right now.

He has so much going on with this cancer and his home life...

But should I put my love life and feelings on hold and keep them to myself forever, in order to keep the peace?

- Isaac's POV -

So my best bud Cole ain't feelin' to awfully good lately 'cause this cancer thing. Him and my girl best friend, Kate, been dealin' with some heavy stuff lately, man.

Kate and I dated about 2 years ago but after we broke up we just stayed real good friends, you know.

Kate was tellin' me she considered datin' him and I was glad for 'em both.

I mean Cole is a great guy and I know he'd never hurt her, even if he wanted to.

But it's all too ironic to me that right around the time my girlfriend and I took a break, she slowly started to cut Cole off.

I felt bad for him because I know he's started fallin' hard. But regardless, it's out of my hands.

- Cole's POV -

I feel so shut out.

What did I even do wrong?

Is it my cancer?

I sit how I get sometimes?

.. I don't know.. and it's killing me.

Slowly but surely I'm losing her still... and I have no idea what I'm doing to cause this.
