I had been threatening to do it again for months, and she had finally pushed me over the edge. Alice doesn't know what she's talking about. I am absolutely certain that he's the one, but Alice isn't so sure.

It's like this every time I'm interested in a guy. At first Alice will stay quiet and let me get to know him. But after some time, she'll start to share her opinions.

We had gone on a few dates when Alan asked me to come to his apartment for dinner. Everything was going great, until Alice made an appearance. "You don't really like him Hillary."

"And how do you know that?" She didn't answer me, but I knew she was right.

Alice isn't always right about everything. Sometimes I'll get the better of her. I'll be able to show her that she doesn't know me as well as she thinks she does.

John and I have been hanging out for the last few months, having coffee or lunch together. From the beginning Alice was sure he was like all the others, only wanting to be with me because I'm beautiful, not for who I really am, but I knew she was wrong this time. One day at coffee Alice was proven wrong. "Um, Hillary?" he said "I know this might be a bit awkward but, would you mind, um, setting me up with your sister?"

Of course there are the times when we're both wrong. When whoever I'm dating surprise us both.

"Hey Hillary!" It's Ryan. For once Alice and I had reversed roles; she really likes Ryan, but I only want to be friends. "Um, I was wondering, if you could help me with something? You see there's this guy…"

Alice and I agree that, that one was even more awkward then asking for my sister's number.

But this time she's wrong. Sheldon is an amazing guy, and he makes me so happy. Nothing she says will change my mind now.

"Hillary you know I'm right."

"Why do you always assume the worst about people, so he's a little shy, he's really nice Alice."

"You say that now Hillary, but do you remember Rob, and Jason? What about Scott? They all seemed nice and shy at the beginning, but they ended up being creeps"

"So it's happened in the past, that doesn't mean it has to be the same this time"

It seems like that conversation was so long ago. I realized then that maybe the reason my relationships don't work out isn't the guy's fault, but Alice's.

"Don't do this Hillary! Don't you remember what happened the last time you did this? You were lonely by yourself. You can't live without me; you'll end up with some abusive, crazy man if I'm not here to stop you. Hillary put the pills down! Hillary listen to me. I only say these things because I care. Please, don't get rid of me. I don't want to go."

"I'm sorry Alice. Goodbye"

And that is that. I slowly swallow the pills and her voice starts to fade away, until finally it's just me.
