Magic: She'd heard it was like magic...but falling in love hurt.
Sam had always been told that when she fell in love it was gonna be magical. That she was going to be floating on a cloud with happiness. However, they had all been WRONG! All of them!
Sure, it was magical at first, the kissing, the smiles, the flirting, the dates, even the fighting (because it had been normal). But then, the fighting got out of control, and then their friends decided to intervene (some friends). And of course, ultimately, that led to a break up and a heartbreaking one at that.
She knew that what she felt wasn't something between them that they were forcing into a relationship, she did love him. But Melanie had once told me that if I loved something, I should let it go and if it was meant to be...it would return...and it worked, Frothy did come back. This was different. Frothy came back because we had something to offer (food). Freddie...Freddie had nothing to return to.
Why would he come back anyway? She had tortured him, even when they were dating, and now he was available for Carly to sweep him up again.
Spencer had talked to her, said that they've only hit a rough spot in their relationship and that they could fix it.
But she doubted it.
There was no return, the damage had been done and the love, at least in his side, had been lost. There was nothing to do but pick up the pieces and move on with her life.
So why was it so hard to do so?
Moving on.
Melanie had told her it was healthy; Spencer encouraged it ('Even if it is temporary,' he added.). And she tried. Lord knows she did!
But that quirky smile, the roll of chocolate brown eyes all made her stomach churn and her heart wrench painfully.
No.
She would just have to learn. Go back to her old habits, her old ways, and pretend.
Pretend that it meant nothing.
Maybe she'll believe it again someday.
I'll get off of the break-up stories after this one. It just so happened they came together.
