So, Rachel taught herself to move forward without an explanation and without an apology.

I cried into her neck like a broken child. “It’s okay, babe,” she whispered, rubbing my back. “It’s okay to cry when you’re hurting. Cry it all out. But please, remember... this is not the end of your story.” I sniffled. “I know... but he hurt me, Tricia. He really did. He broke something inside me.” She pulled back and wiped my cheek gently with her palm. “And you’ll heal, love. You will. He’s in the past now, alright? Don’t let him keep wrecking you from a distance.”

Natalie had been taking care of her since the incident, although Candy couldn't understand how her stepmother had suddenly become loving after despising her before her father's death. "You know, first loves often don't work out. My first love betrayed me for my best friend. It was devastating, but I had to move on. Your father came into my life, and we fell in love. He healed my heart," Natalie shared. "I miss father. He would probably be disappointed to have me as a daughter," Candy sighed. "I want to heal. I want this pain to go away." Natalie nodded understandingly. "A broken heart can only heal if you open it up to another person."

Roberta sighed and shook her head, “Finding a partner that is right for you is so hard, it’s harder than going to the moon honestly. You don’t have to feel miserable, we are all struggling with our love lives, it’s a mess everywhere.” I appreciated her encouragement so I stopped crying, she wiped the tears under my eyes and smiled, “You will be fine, we will all be fine. When you are ready let me know, I will try and set you up with someone else.” she said. In my bed that night, I could feel nothing but pain. One thing I have noticed after suffering from two heartbreaks is that the pain gets worse at night. Even in my dreams, I was crying, I needed Ralph back with me.

“I just got over it. We all go through heartbreak at some point. Time is the greatest healer of all times.” I nodded in agreement; time was the best healer.

All of a sudden, Ashley playfully threw a pillow at me. “So I heard one of the fastest ways of getting past a heartbreak or failed relationship is visiting the bar. Who knows, you could get drunk and end up in the arms of a smoky hot Mafia lord like those books written on W*****d.”

"I read a lot of self-help books after the breakup. They're mostly garbage, but some things stuck." "Like what?" "Like the idea that you have to feel the pain to heal from it. You can't just skip to the 'being okay' part. You have to sit with the hurt." "That sounds terrible." "It is. But it works." We lay there in comfortable silence, the music playing between us. Students walked past, couples held hands, life moved on around us. "Hey Aria?" "Yeah?" "I'm glad we're friends. Like, genuinely glad." "Me too."

All I can do right now is cry and let myself grieve for the relationship I thought I had. That night, the three of us drank until we were drunk. We joked that we were "celebrating" the end of my heartbreak, but we ended up crying together too. I poured out all my anger and frustration about Theo, letting every painful feeling wash over me.
