turned around in the pouring rain with her dress ruined, her heart shattered, her hair a mess,

her pride crushed, and her makeup dripping, and whispered, “i was going to love you, even

if it was wrong.” but he let her down like all the other guys in her life, starting with her father,

moving along to her countless boyfriends and guyfriends, from her stepfathers and mother’s

boyfriends, all the way down to him, that jerk. she was going to lie and sneak around behind

everyone’s back because she thought she finally had something. sort of like romeo and juliet,

maybe. but she had been let down again and it was killing her inside. and each time this

happened, a little piece of her broke. while it made her stronger, she was broken inside, looking

for that one boy that could give her a new look on life. but we all do stupid things for love,

even the seemingly perfect girls. so she collapsed into her bestfriends arms who whispered that

it would be okay, and that she forgave her for the lying she had done, and that sometimes,

the strongest and happiest of people didn’t need boys; they just needed friends.
