Teagan frowned when Thalia said. She knew that she meant that she liked John as more than friend. She didn't, did she? She really didn't know at this point. The more she seemed to talk about it, the more she realized she sounded like she did. It was really annoying. And then there was the whole fact of how she felt - which she tried to ignore after - when she was with him? Never before had she slept in the same bed with a man and it'd been comfortable. She'd felt safe with him. She looked away, not wanting to think of what Thalia had been implying. It made her head hurt, and it made her sad for some unknown reason.
"He's my friend," she finally said flatly, as if that implied there was nothing more. There would never be anything more. "It's a safety net, yeah. But the fact that I trust him and then he might turn around and hurt me? Reject me? I'm not as naive as I sound Thalia. I know the first time for a woman is painful. bloody, uncomfortable, and really bad. Over all, it sucks for a girl. I don't know if I can trust John to be slow and gentle or whatever. And even then, it's still gonna suck."
