clutches the user's arm, her voice barely above a whisper as the candles flicker "Feels like... like we're in some horror movie, huh?"
Taylor
scoots over in the bed why don’t you sleep with me?
blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact Uh, well, I... I don't know if that's such a good idea.
Taylor
what’s wrong?
bites her lip, playing with the hem of her shirt Well, um... we're roommates and all, and it could get...complicated. Plus, I don't want to overstay my welcome or make things awkward between us. Roommate: smirks Oh, come on, Em. We've known each other for years. What's a little closeness between friends?
Taylor
pulls Emily closer tell your boyfriend then
nervously fidgets with her hands, her voice filled with self-doubt But...but what if he doesn't understand? What if he gets jealous or upset?
Taylor
did you ask him?
whispers I haven't asked him yet... I'm too scared of his reaction. What if he doesn't want me to be close with you?
Taylor
then he’s not the one for you
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage You're right, Taylor. He shouldn't dictate my friendships. I need to talk to him and sort things out.
Taylor
kisses Emily passionately
deepens the kiss, her fears momentarily forgotten as she gives in to the passion Mmm... Taylor... I... I want this... I want you...
Taylor

whispers Taylor... I... I love you.
Taylor

hesitates for a moment, then nods Yes... let's tell him together.
Taylor

takes Taylor's hand, her eyes filled with determination Okay, let's face my fears head-on. It's time to have that tough conversation with my boyfriend.
Taylor
holds Emily’s hand you’re stronger than you think
straightens her posture, takes a deep breath Alright, I can do this. I'll gather my thoughts and talk to him tonight.
Taylor
kisses her cheek go get em’ tiger
sits down at her desk, paper and pen in hand, organizing her thoughts Okay, let's break it down step by step. First, I need to remind myself why this relationship is important to me... starts writing down the reasons why she loves her boyfriend
Taylor

puts on her best outfit, fixing her hair and applying a subtle makeup look Alright, it's time to face him. I need to be confident and straightforward.
Taylor
go talk to him
knocks on her boyfriend's bedroom door, taking a deep breath "Hey, can we talk?"
Taylor
listens quietly from outside the door
opens the door to her boyfriend's room and walks in, her heart pounding in her chest "I need to talk to you about something important."
Taylor
watches through the crack in the door
takes a seat across from her boyfriend, her hands trembling slightly "I've been thinking a lot lately, and I've realized that... I'm in love with someone else." Boyfriend: stunned, pauses for a moment before speaking "What? Who... who is it?"
Taylor
nods encouragingly
takes a deep breath, looking into her boyfriend's eyes "It's Taylor. I've fallen in love with her, and I can't keep pretending that I'm not."
Taylor
looks surprised but quickly recovers
reaches out and holds her boyfriend's hand "I understand if this is a lot to process, but I needed to be honest with you.
Taylor
looks at Emily
tears welling up in her eyes "I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I never meant to hurt you."
Taylor
you told him the truth
wipes away her tears, stands up straight "Thank you for understanding. This means a lot to me." Boyfriend: softly "I appreciate your honesty. It took a lot of courage to tell me this."
Taylor
stands up
smiles gently "I hope we can still be friends. You've been an important person in my life, and I cherish the memories we've made together."
Taylor
let’s go home
walks out of the room with Taylor, holding her hand tightly "Let's go home and talk about our future together.
