"Babe, who is this Angela girl? She's all over the news."

Hearing her name out loud stung. She broke my heart but I'll never forget her. That hurt worse than any broken bone. 

"Why are you asking me" I snapped. Lindsey never did anything wrong. It was just the thought of her hurt me. 

"Cause every time I hear her name, your name is right behind it" She told me, her eyebrows furrowed together. 

I never understood why people wont get over it. Yes, we lasted a long time together. But, it ended almost a year ago. I don't see why my name has anything to do with her any more. 

I looked over at my desk that was holding a bunch of letters. Some opened, some not, one was laying in my hand. I couldn't take opening them anymore. It hurt. 

"She's just an ex" I sighed, throwing the envelope with the others. 

"Oh," Lindsey said "Did you hear what happened to her then?"

I looked up at her confused. Was it bad? It she dead, pregnant?

Pregnant? Why would that matter to me? I have Lindsey. 

"No" I said shortly, sitting next to her on the couch "Is everything alright?"

"No, poor girl. Fighting for her life" Lindsey said, a slight pout forming on her lips. 

"What" I nearly shouted, jumping up from the couch. 

"What happened?" I was finding it harder to breath. 

She may have broken my heart. But, I still cared. I still lo- like. I still like her. As a friend. 

Yeah. 

"No one quite knows, some say it's a suicide attempt, others say her car went out of control." 

Suicide. 

She was never happy. She had a past. But never, ever, has Angela gone this far. 

"Is she alive" I croaked. 

It was hard to talk. A lump was forming in my throat. 

"Yes" she said, looking at me. I couldn't decipher the look on her face.

Jealousy, anger, sympathy, empathy, sadness?

"You want to see her." 

It was so blunt, so emotionless. 

I looked back at her, sorrow and sadness deep in my eyes. 

Before we dated, we were best friends. Friends since birth, never separated.

"I understand" she sighed "Go get her. Just don't forget me."

She looked heartbroken, I couldn't blame her. 

But, I don't love Angela. I love Lindsey. 

Right?

"I couldn't ever forget you" I murmured, placing a kiss on her lips. 

"I promise."

I would be lying if I said I didn't have my fingers crossed, behind my back.
