I just have to say something,
because what i'm about to say it's probably the most selfish thing i've ever said in my life.
no.i just have to say it once.
you just need to hear it.
Elena……i love you.
and it's because i love you that
i can't be selfish with you.
why you can't know this.
i don't deserve you.
but my brother does.
God,i wish you didn't have to forget this.
but you do.
