Staying Silent

“What’s wrong?” Mike sayes as he holds my hand.
“It’s nothing.” I say back trying not to look into his saphire painted eyes. I knew that if I looked at them my heart would betray me and my secret would be spit out.
He pulls my chin up to read my face, but i pull away and look down at my feet, feeling the tears swell up in my eyes.
How could I tell him I’d cheated and betrayed him? How could I tell him that my heart was now split between two people? Only one way possible. I wouldn’t say anything. Hurting him would hurt me even more.
