Alexis dragged me all over that summer. To bars, to concerts, to parties, to movie screenings. We dressed up every night, In Brooklyn, Manhattan, Southampton, and with enough martinis, I could forget for a little bit.
Kate took me to her parents place on Cape rod for a week, leaving Tom back in Manhattan. She pampered me with spa treatments and took me to a salad for a brand- new haircut she'd found in a French fashion magazine her sister sent. That's when I cut off my braid and donated my hair.
Julia told me she was on Team Lana and that she'd be there whenever I needed her. We spent a lot of nights together eating macaroni and cheese, since you hated it, and watching the most violent action films we could find.
My friends were actually pretty amazing, considering how much they hated you at that point. I don't know if Kate or Alexis has ever forgiven you for leaving me. Julia has, but it took her a while to understand what you and I had together- until your gallery show.
My mom sent me text messages all day long. And inspirational articles in the mail.
Jason came to visit, treating me to a Brooklyn Cyclones game, and hot dogs, and an Explosion using diet coke and mentos.
Practically everyone I knew tried to cheer me up in ever way they knew how. And I tried as hard as I could to get over you, but really the only thing I needed was time.
