Prologue

I have always been a big believer in love, fate, and all that stuff. I guess maybe because I had never experienced it. I figured one day, I would meet the man of my dreams. I would fall in

love, get married, have kids, and enjoy family life. But the thing that saddened me was that all of my friends seemed to be meeting their prince charming. My best friend, Peyton, is head

over heels in love with Jake. Jake had a kid with another woman before they met, but Peyton acts as if Jenny was her own. My other best friend, Haley, has already met her man, and

they were just married! Married! I thought they were crazy, but a part of me was honestly jealous. All of my other friends were either dating someone or just breaking up. Either way, they

had someone or just had someone. Even though Haley and Peyton made an effort to spend equal time with me as they did with their significant others, I was still upset. I tried to not

make it known to them because it wasn't their fault. So, in the meantime, I just hooked up with random guys, and figured it would only be this way for a little while longer. But that is

what I said last year...and the year before.
