Oh my. Why can't I just get over this already? "Hey, you okay babe?" I snapped out of my pitiful daydream and began to gain focus on who just said that. It was James, my boyfriend at the moment.

James is an adorable guy. He's blonde, about 5'10, he wears glasses, and he has the sweetest voice. He's a cute country boy that's so tiny you can wrap your arms around him almost twice.

"Yeah, I'm okay, honey."

"You seem like something is bothering you."

"Honestly, I'm not really sure if something is."

It's been 4 months since me and my ex-boyfriend Scott broke up, and I still don't know what to do with my life. I've been working on moving on, but it's been a long, grueling process. I feel as if I'm molded for him and only him. James and I have only been dating for a few months and I can't stand the fact I feel as if I'm using him.

If it weren't for a girl I used to be friends with, I would've never met James. It's such a funny story how we became more than just acquaintances. I wasn't interested in him at first. I was actually trying to get him to be interested in my friend, Amanda. She was head over heals in love with him, but he wasn't interested in her. He ended up falling for me, the one thing I was trying to prevent. James is a really sweet guy, but I don't think I have any legitimate feelings for him. I know deep down inside I really love Scott-

"Hello?"

"What?"

"I've been trying to get your attention for awhile. What's going on with you today? We're almost there, anyways."

"I'm so sorry, I'm just spacing. I must be tired." That's a huge lie, I'm wide awake. I just can't stop thinking about Scott.

"It's okay, I just wanted you to know that we're almost there."

"Okay."

We're going to visit my sister, Elaine, in Colorado for spring break. I haven't seen her since Christmas and I'm really starting to miss her, and I definitely need to talk to her about this Scott issue. I know exactly where we are, and that her house is about five minutes away. James is definitely lost, though.

"Take a right at the next street, honey."

"How'd you know?!"

"Well, I know where my sister lives and you don't. And on top of that, at the speed you were going, you were going to go right past the street."

"See, this is why you're here" His smile is incredible. Just knowing that he has a smirk hidden beneath his furrowed brow sometimes makes me melt.

We pulled up to the house at exactly three o'clock. It's still as beautiful as it was when I was here last. Elaine is a master gardener and always makes sure she has the best yard and garden on the block. She and her husband live in a gorgeous two story house that's painted a baby blue on the outside and mostly white on the inside. It's so inviting and bright and the house always smells like vanilla and lavender. I'm so glad to be here, maybe I can stop being such a problem filled freak after I talk to her.
