My hand hovered over the glass, over his words as I sat there stunned, my heart racing so fast it felt like it would burst. “My God,” I finally managed to breathe and looked up at Jenna. Her brow was creased and she was wringing her hands. “I’m…overwhelmed. Do you know when he wrote this?”

She moved to the floor next to me. “I think around the time you moved to New York. Julia, did you remember something?”

“Just a little. Nothing I can really articulate. I…love him. That’s what I remember. I can’t place specifics, but…he’s…everything.”

Jenna’s eyes filled with tears and her hand reached out to rest on my shoulder. “Oh Julia, I’m so glad you realize that. He’s been so lost.”

“This…” my hand skirted over the glass again, “and the drawings have helped. It means so much to me that you came here with me and helped me like this.” I placed my hand over the one on my shoulder and squeezed. I set the frame back on the couch and then picked up two of the drawings. “I sense…sadness around some of these pictures. Not all, but some of them hurt me. I was in pain over him.”

She nodded. “He’ll be so mad at me, but I won’t let you suffer this and not tell you.”

I wiped at the tears on my face and tried to smile. “Thank you.”

“You and Ryan were friends. You both dated a few other people, but you and he were always together. Sometimes, when he went out with someone else, you’d stay in and draw. You were sad, but we never knew how upset you were. Ellie and I asked you to go out, but you’d stay in alone when he…well when he…”

I nodded. I didn’t need her to say the words. The pain washed through me and I could remember feeling it then; being left behind while he went out and made love to someone else. It felt so real; it was like it was happening right in that moment, fresh and raw. My face crumpled and I covered it with both of my hands.

“Ryan loves you, Julia. As you can tell now… he loves you so much.”

“I know.” The truth of the words burst through my barely controlled sobs. “Maybe I can’t remember all of it, but I feel it. I get flashes and in those moments, he just fills me up. Why didn’t we date? Why would he date others? Didn’t he love me then?”

“The rest of us saw what was between you and we tried to get through to you, but you and Ryan are so similar. Neither of you were willing to risk your friendship on a love affair that might end badly. After Aaron and Ryan got accepted to Harvard, the prospect of not having each other nearby forced you both to admit that you were in love with each other.”

I started crying again. The floodgates burst and my shoulders shook. “Oh, God! He must be suffering so much now.
