She's going to need you more than ever, and if you're the one to break this to her, it's not going to end well for you."

"If you tell her, with all her best interests in mind, she's going to get mad and angry at you. Then who will she have when things fall down around her?

She's a seventeen year old girl, she's going to react with her emotions and not with logic, and it can destroy your relationship with her."
She sighed, what could he do, really? To protect Silas so long as Katie was in the picture? "If you feel it's best to tell her, do so gently and not with brutal honesty."

She just hoped that he knew she was genuinely there for him, and not saying any of this because of her friend's sake.
