Lena sat beside me again today.

For the first five minutes, we didn’t say anything. I stared at my notes, she scrolled through her phone. But something about the silence felt... tighter than usual. Like it was holding something inside it.

Then, out of nowhere, she said, “I left the note.”

Just like that. No build-up. No hesitation. Just dropped it into the air like a stone.

I froze. My heart kicked hard against my ribs, and my mind blanked. I didn’t know what to say. I’d imagined this moment..someone finally seeing me...and now that it was happening, I didn’t feel relief. I felt exposed.

She turned her head slightly, eyes still on her phone. “I didn’t know what else to say. But I didn’t want you to think no one noticed.”

I could barely swallow. Something burned in my throat, but I nodded. It was all I could manage.

We didn’t talk much after that. But something shifted.

She stayed the whole period. Didn’t move away. Didn’t act like I was fragile glass.
And when she left, she said, “You don’t have to write it all down alone.”

I wanted to say thank you. But the words got stuck behind everything I’ve never said.
