I got home that night and went straight to the couch. I plopped down and just sat there, remembering everything that had happened that day. That was a lot. I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't even realize that Emily had been calling me from down the hall, asking if that was me. It wasn't until she sat on the couch next to me, shattering my thoughts.
"Are you okay?" she inquired worriedly. "I called you like three times and you didn't even turn your head."
"Yeah, I'm fine," I reassured her. "Just thinking."
"No," she replied, unconvinced. "When you think that deeply, something's bothering you. Need I even ask you what's wrong?"
"I am just nervous that we're going to meet the band tomorrow."
" I don't believe you."
"And, I may still be a little bit confused as to why Jason would dump me."
"Ohhh," she said, now understanding my thoughts. "Well, in that case, we'd better get started on our break-up ritual!"
That brought an honest smile to my face. I was happy that my friend is always there for me and that she always knew how to help me and that she was so great at these nights. That woman drops everything, cancels any plans with anyone, just to help me through tough times. And, I always do the same for her. That's what makes us such great friends, because we love each other so much as to do that for each other.
"You're the best," I said, still smiling and giving her a quick hug.

Our break-up ritual consists of five specific things: buying a new outfit, renting and watching two non-romantic movies, eating tons of ice cream, burning our ex's face out of pictures with Em's cigarettes, and prank calling people. Don't judge us on why we do these things, they just make us feel better in different ways. Buying a new outfit signifies out with the old and in with the new, break ups are just part of getting rid of bad things and getting better ones. Watching movies and eating ice cream are just comforting. Burning the guy's face out of pictures symbolizes fully getting rid of the him. And, prank calling is just funny. We like to laugh.
We went to Jean's Wearhouse and bought one new outfit each. Then we watched Jack Reacher and The Pacifier, because they're awesome. We ate strawberry and mint-chocolate chip ice cream during the movies. I didn't have as many pictures of Jason as my past boyfriends so we burned all of the pictures by sticking the whole thing in a bonfire in the back yard. And, we prank called Pizza Hut and Emily's cousin Cory. We also ended up texting Jason and Harry thank you. Jason was confused and Harry was asleep.
It had been a great night, despite what had happened that day and what drove us to do that stuff. I was glad we had this routine for whenever our stupid boyfriends dumped us.
We finally went to bed at about one in the morning. I ended up getting her to sleep next to me as that started to become a part of our routine as well. It's comforting.
