<human>: Alright reddit, I'm pretty young but we don't have anywhere else to go at this point, and I need some good advice. Please excuse any errors, I'm on mobile.

I recently told my good friend that I like her, and we're very close now, pretty much a couple. We are in a long-distance relationship though. Our other close friend messaged my girlfriend the other night to tell her that she is developing a crush on me. She doesn't usually have ANY crushes.

My girlfriend said she was talking to me, and our other friend asked if we were becoming "a thing". My girlfriend said no, and that was the truth. An hour later however, I messaged her to tell we how I really felt. Now we're basically together, and we can't hide this from our other friend. She is the sweetest girl and we don't want to hurt her. We're not sure how to even begin to tell her.

We need your help reddit. Any advice on how to deal with this. I apologize for telling all about our little teenage romance issues, but we don't know where else to turn.
