Why Do Oppsites Attract When Couples Have Things in Common?

BRIDGET'S POV

I was still stunned at what he said but I realized I didn't answer for a few seconds and then just started blabbering.

"Uh... yeah! Exactly! That's how I feel too. Um, I just want to make sure we can... we can still be friends?" It came out too much of a question than a statement.

"Good. I'm really happy we got to sort things out. Of course I still want to be friends and I promised you that I'd be here for you always and nothing is going to change about that," he said taking one of my hands. "I still want to be in your life."

"Well I want to be in yours too," I smiled at him. I slightly tilted my head and just looked at him. I might as well get a good look before I can't stare anymore.

After a few seconds I mentally shook my head and got myself out of the trance. I stood up and took my hand away from his. He slowly stood up with me and opened his arms. "Friendly hug?"

I nodded and smiled. We both lent in for the hug and I had to get on my tippy toes to try and match his height.

I wrapped my arms around him and right as I moved my head to go on his shoulder he moved his head at the last second towards mine, making us bump noses.

We both slightly pulled back but still had our arms around each other. I looked up into his eyes and all of our memories flash through my head.

"Sorry," I whispered.

He slowly moved his eyes from mine down to my nose then my lips and lent in towards me.

He isn't really doing what I think he's about to do, is he? What about this so-called girlfriend he had? Does he ever stop? Guess not.

His lips were merely centimeters from mine. I ached for his lips and for him to just hold me one last time but he isn't mine. I never thought I'd deny the one I loved.

Before our lips touched, I pulled back and took my arms away. I put my hand out for a handshake. "Friends, remember?"

He pressed his lips together and stared at my hand before firmly shaking it. "Friends," he said nodding his head.

We both took our hands away and he turned around and walked toward the door. When he was halfway out the door he turned back to me.

"I'll miss you, Bridge," he said and without giving me a chance to respond, he closed the door behind him.

There I was. Standing still and watching as I just let the one guy I truly love walk away from me.

Who knew that the one who said he loved you and never stopped would say being friends is the right choice and that he's moved on two days later.

Maybe it'll get easier from here... I'll be going back home in three days and he won't be there. I won't see his face and every couple can say the classic, "We can still be friends," but in the end, we all know it isn't true. The only real problem I'll be facing is Kyle.

He's texted me several times and called too but the truth is, I don't know what to say to him. I don't even have a reason for breaking up with him. As terrible as that sounds, I just don't have the words anymore. Technically it was because I wanted to try and get Luke back.

I can picture our conversation now;

"Why did you wanna break up?"

"Well I really wanted to try and get my ex back. Remember, I've told you about him. The one who cheated on me twice and the one who's the father of my child? I've decided to take him back. I figured out I still love him."
