Ok

So, after the whole graduation thing, I didn't see Zach for a very long time. I kept in touch with Lukas a lot, and even though I didn't see him very often in person, we became very close cause we texted all the time. It was now March, a full year after I had seen Zach at my graduation, and during one of my conversations with Lukas he told me:

"Zach got a new phone number and he called me and talked to me. He is still being a douchebag but it was nice to hear from him. Here's the number"

I think I had the phone number for about three weeks in my cell phone without knowing what to do. Should I call him or text him? Does he hate me, and that's why he didn't contact me? At the same time I was like, wtf he is a douc bag, last time he treated you like poop you felt awful for months, he doesn't deserve your attention at all.

The good angel of my conscience ended up winning cause my last thought was "life is too short to make enemies on the way, everyone deserves a second chance, maybe he changed."

I texted him with a simple "hiii....its Gwen....Lukas gave me your number." He was happy, as I could tell, and I was happy too to have connected again with my long-time best friend. We ended up creating a group chat and it honestly felt as if no time had passed since the last time the three of us talked together. The problem was that (warning: extreme strawberry shortcake moment coming up) my feelings for him appeared again. The worst was that I came to the realization that they had never disappeared but that I had tried to hide them or run from them for a very long time.

The worstest worst part about all this????

Zach started using the chat to also express how frustrated he was about wanting to go out with a girl he knew. Yep aaaaaaaand eventually using it to express how happy and excited he was that he had "gained" her heart. And I said "gained" cause apparently she was judging him by his looks and he basically had to beg her to be with him. It was as if somebody had slapped me really hard.

Anyways, I started forcing myself to get over him. It was hard. But I tried my best.
