... you don't have to wait for someone to treat you bad repeatedly. All it takes is once, and if they get away with it that once, if they know they can treat you like that, then it sets the pattern for the future.

..but if I can't tell my best friend, who can I tell??

For the first time in her life she found herself failing at something.

But he had already planned. Already planned the holiday. The proposal. Even the ring.............., he loved her, but he wasn't sure that love was enough.

Because I'm attractive and sucessful so if I can't get a man I must be failing at something?

Both trying to suppress the knowledge that hugs like this mean only one thing. GOODBYE.

However close you are, you know that's another friend you won't be seeing anymore. You won't have anything in common anymore, since you are not interested in babies, and they are no longer interested in life.

People show you who they are, not by what they say, but by what they do.

Shock doesn't hit all at once. I have learned.
