"Let's just say that there is a guy who I am close to….he fell in love with you. I didn't want that to happen, so before he could tell me about his feelings for you...I made sure he found out my feelings for you….It was all a lie obviously…so he being himself, decided to suppress himself…."

"Why would you do something like that to a close friend….what do you think will happen when he finds out..." Lisa replied with a frown.
"I don't know and I don't care. I will do what it takes to protect that naive idiot. He can blame me all he wants. But that is the price the weak has to pay...." Naze said as he looked at Lisa.
"Tell me...is it better to lie to him and make him hate me or better to let him love you and die?"
