How I Loved You, And How It All Fell Apart (A short story)

This is is a true story. I lived through this almost two years ago, and the past is still resurfacing every once in a while. Writing down my thoughts, my feelings and my story make it easier for me to process this whole debacle from a more "Outside point of view". This was a pivotal time in my life, and in the end brought me maturity and resilience, traits for which I am thankful for everyday. It's still hard for me now, as a lifeguard myself, to overcome people's expectations of me when then actually meet me. I think this acts as long overdue closure for me.
