Mindlessly✔

Heartbreaks and heroes.

It is strange how we describe the beginning of love as "falling"when in fact,it is the end that's the fall✨

"Are you completely sure about this?"
I stare in disbelief into Amy's teary eyes as she grabs another piece of tissue.Six used pieces lay scattered on her bed to show she'd been crying for a while.

With a slow nod she responds."I really wish I wasn't."

"But I don't understand.How could he do that to you?"

"Well I do.He's full of shit and a freaking coward that's why."
Paige scoffs,anger evident in her voice.

"That's one way to put it."I snort as Paige and I share a look.

Smiling wryly Amy implies."I want to say I didn't see this coming but I'd be lying to myself.It couldn't have been more glaring."

"What do you mean?"I frown deeply.

Sniffing,she chuckles bitterly.
"Who am I kidding?Ethan and I have been slowly drifting apart for sometime now.I mean we see each other a lot but it feels like we're so close and yet so far.Even when we're together it's like there's this wall slowly building between us.And It's just- nothing feels the same anymore.At least not like it used to be."

"But...why didn't you tell us all of this before?"

"Well I thought it's most likely a phase in every relationship and that we would get through it.Or maybe I didn't want to because telling you would make me face the fact that we don't love each other as much as we used to.I guess I needed a rude awakening or some sort kind of confirmation.Which I got."She continues, her voice breaking a little.

I had a feeling the latter is the reason she didn't say anything to us.

"That is not a freaking excuse for him to cheat on you with some skank.He should have been straight with you and you should have told him how you felt too."
Paige shakes her head fervently and I nod in agreement.Her attempt to justify the whole situation did not sit well with me.

I couldn't believe she had been keeping all of this to herself.I would have complained and sulked to her every chance I got.Maybe if I had taken more time to ask her what was wrong she would have opened up to me.

God I feel like a shitty friend.

"I'm so sorry Amy.I feel so bad that all of this has been happening and I didn't even notice.Is this why you've been acting kind of strange and distant these days?"

"Yeah that's basically it."

"I did notice but I didn't know it had anything to do with this.I'm sorry too Amy." Paige adds.

"Really guys it's fine.I had a part to play in it too."She murmurs,sniffling.

"Amy I love you but crying is only going to make you feel more miserable,trust me." Grabbing the box of tissues,Paige places it on the bedside table,far from her reach.

Trust Paige to be practical in situations like this.

Amy sends her a pouty glare in return.
"I don't like you."

"She's right.We hate to see you cry, especially over someone who clearly isn't worth it."

"You know what really hurts is that we both didn't fight for what could have been instead we acted like everything was fine when it wasn't."Her eyes are dry now,more like resigned.

"Oh Amy...you shouldn't blame yourself for something you had no control over.It's just what it is."She sends me a sad smile in response.

"But what you do need is a girls night. Stuffing our faces with all kinds of junks and talk about how boys ain't shit.Sounds fun huh?"Paige winks at me weirdly and I raise an eyebrow in question.
