I can't believe she went to that date with Lucas. I should have done something, I should have stopped it...but I just couldn't. It's past eleven and she's not home. I can't go to sleep. What are they doing? Is she having fun? We are all in the living room talking and playing board games to pass the time. I am going insane, when will she be back?

An hour later, she is finally back. She knocks and I answer the door. When I open the door, I see her standing there with Lucas. He is holding her hand and she is laughing. I know nothing is happening between them, that it's only a friendly exchange. Yet, I can feel my heart break a little bit. They say goodbye and hug each other while I'm standing at the door. Why am I still standing at the door?

I don't know how much I can take it before I break.
