Just once, she thinks, she'd like to be the one someone else goes home to. Even though she knows it's not possible, she'd still like it. She's sick of being the bit on the side, or the dirty little secret, the little exciting thing on the side that really doesn't mean anything apart from sex. Her problem is, she always gets in too deep. She always falls for them, and the feeling is never reciprocated. It's that which causes the most pain. People don't understand why she goes out, does drugs and drinks too much, then has one night stands. It's all just to forget about that one girl who took advantage.
