------------------
Main characters Milo and Thalia have been friends since Middle school. What will happen when feelings turn into more than just friendship? All of their friends are now on the path to trying to get the two of them togeth...
My eyes no longer produce tears, and I keep thinking how stupid I am. How stupid I am to have ever loved a guy like that. How stupid I am to even be crying over a guy. How stupid I am for wasting my time with crying. I don't cry, so why am I doing it now? Why the hell am I crying? Why the hell is everyone looking at me like I'm a broken person? Everyone had their eyes wide open staring at me with such sadness. I am Thalia. I am not a broken person anymore. I didn't go through so much shit in my life to be considered broken. Whenever this group needs a leader, I am the one to be there. A leader doesn't cry. So, I wipe my tears with my sleeve and I stand up, noticing the girls looking at me with wild eyes.
"I don't need a man, I'm my own woman who can do whatever she wants."
"Damn, getting all inspirational on us" Janell says with a small giggle.
"I can't let an asshole like Lucas ruin my life forever." Even saying his name kind of hurts. Lucas, the guy who was supposed to be my other half. The guy who was supposed to be holding my hand for the rest of my life. He isn't a guy. He's just trash.
"How did you find out?" January asks me with tears about fall out of her eyes. She always gets so attached to everyone and is probably the most emotional out of all of us.
"Well I went to his house to grab some papers that I had to give to the wedding planner. I was going through his files and came across this red folder that I've never seen before. It turned out to be his marriage certificate. When he came back home I asked him about it and he told me that he never divorced her. He said he was young and stupid and completely forgot about her. But truth is, the look in his eyes said something else. It didn't look like he forgot her." I try to keep in the tears that are begging to come out.
"He looked at the ground like he was remembering her. He' still in love with her. And you cannot be in love with more than one person two days before your wedding. At least not if you're in a relationship with me. I'm not going to push the wedding off just to find out that he still talks to her, or something worse. No one is allowed to break my heart. I've been through too much shit in my life to let a boy come into it and tear my heart apart. I barely let people into my life. I let him come into my life, and that was probably the stupidest decision I have ever made." I let out a long breath, not realizing that I just let all of that out. I don't share my feelings much, but that felt really good.
I only have a couple people that truly know me and my secrets. I have Milo, Janell, Leo, January, and Dash. Dash keeps to himself a lot, so the others don't know him as well as I do. My friends know that when we were growing up I didn't have any money, but Dash knows how I felt. We lived in a multi- family house. My family lived on one half of the house, while Dash lived on the other side. He grew up with his grandparents, who were actually very young, and moved to the house before my parents moved there. We would walk to and from school everyday because neither of us owned a car, and we lived in a bad neighborhood. He would even wait for me whenever I had to stay after for things. When we got older we got an apartment together, thank goodness I didn't move in with Lucas when he asked me or else I would have to ask Dash for my room back.
"I can't believe he turned out to be such a bad guy," January tries to disguise how much sadness she feels for me.
"I just thought that he was going to be like a prince charming and be everything you wished for." She looks down starting to realize something. She doesn't understand how good she has it with Leo. He would literally carry her over a puddle instead of let her walk through it and get her shoes wet. I actually think that I saw him do it before.
"Well I guess not every guy turns out to be what you hoped for." The words are disgusting, but disgustingly true at the same time.
"Let's go hit him!" Janell's hands are clenched.
"You might kill him with that punch of yours" Leo lets out a chuckle as he says it walking into the living room, Milo following him looking like he is reflecting his whole life. I love when he does that. He could be thinking about which cereal he wants to eat in the morning, but it would look like he was picking out which path he wants to follow in life. Leo sits next to January and she stares at him, without him noticing. Milo leans against the door frame and comes out of his thoughts, looking around the room.
"Leo and I will hold him back while Janell punches. But we all gotta wear masks so that he doesn't know who we are." Milo says with a wide smile on his face.
"Yeah he definitely won't recognize the guy who's six foot four with blue hair" Janell rolls her eyes.
"Excuse you! Last time I saw this guy, my hair was green!" Leo acts like it looked good as green.
"January just felt like she liked the green on herself more so we decided I would go grey... well blue now." We all giggle, and it feels good. I like laughing with my friends. I like it so much more then them all trying to comfort me. I'm never the one who needs to be comforted. If I had to choose, I would say that Milo and I are the parents of this group. And all our friends, who act like children, are our kids.
