This did not just happen‚ Lysander did not say he hates me and Helena did not just lose our friendship. This can’t be right‚ it simply can’t. Waking up I was worried for Lysander’s life‚ when I should have been worried about his love for me. Are we over? Are we done? Was my father right? No he can’t be because even Demetrius hates me.
