Second Chances

" What happens when he's your Prince Charming
But you're not his Cinderella ?"

Jackie Gray was completely and absolutely in love.You'd say that there was nothing wrong with that. After all, falling in love is so beautiful isn't it?
But is there any beauty in falling for your best friend who doesn't love you with the same burning passion? Is there any beauty in yearning to touch someone's lips with your own when you know that it'll never happen? Down that path is nothing but darkness and agony. Not the pleasurable agony of true love,but the agony of heartbreak that is inevitable in cases of unrequited love.
Sure Frank loved her. Loved her with all his heart and soul. He would do everything for Jackie. He'd give up his life for her in a mere blink. But somehow, the love was not romantic. It had everything in it except for romance.
So she kept all her feelings to herself and didn't let them show through. She was prepared to let their friendship remain untainted by romance if that was the way Frank preferred it.
She'd keep her secrets.

But excess drink at a party is guaranteed to fuck things up pretty bad. And this time, it fucked up two innocent hearts, and threw them completely unprepared into something that can be defined perfectly in five words - A complete and utter mess.
