And with that she turned around and walked out of my room without looking back. Our friendship shattered; completely broken into pieces unable to be mended.
And recalling those simple words she had said, had hurt more than any physical or emotional pain I had ever experienced. And what had made it worse was that she was right. I had grown so attached to Cody, that when he died, I just completely lost myself. And those who had tried to help me, the ones who cared about me, like Selena and my mom; I had pushed them away.

I heard someone stop at the doorway of my room and I looked up to see my mother.

"If I didnt arrange you and Cody, none of this would happen. Im really sorry for the mess Ive made, Demi, "she said and left before I could reply.

She was wrong.
I had made the mess of my life, and now looking at the result, nothing could be fixed.
