So yesterday topped off the day before being shitty. My life really really does suck right now. Thank God I have people like Jen, Melissa, Graham, Kasey, and Dustin in my life. Kasey and Dustin came and picked me up and dragged my ass to the beach. It was alright. I was still sad and I still cried, even though I was out on a beautiful day. I just can't seem to get over how bad Dan screwed me over. And then I came back home and I found out that Melissa stopped by because she knew how upset I was .. The girl drove all the way out here just to make sure I was alright and I wasn't even home. So Melissa .. I love you. Thank you, you have definatley proven yourself to be one of my truest friends.
So Jen came and picked me up and we got Graham and went down to the SoapBox. Dustin was going to come but him and Kasey were hanging out until 11-ish. So when Dustin showed up to hear me sing .. I was estatic. I about cried then. I can't believe he came down. We sang "Summer Nights" from Grease and Christie said we sang good together. Then we all just hung out and everything. It was so good to get my mind off of everything. I was just starting to enjoy myself when we were going to Waffle House to get some grub. I was starving.
So we walk into Waffle House .. And guess who we saw. Dan and Georgia Slut. Oh yeah. My appetite went out the walking out the door. I about bust into tears. No one will ever understand how hard it was for me to not cry .. To not run up to him and fall into his arms like I did so well .. To not want to walk over and slap the hell out of him .. To not go up to him and plant one on him, a nice big wet one, in front of Georgia Slut. But I didn't. I just stood there for a good minute and stared. He didn't notice I was there .. Until Jen walked up and sat beside him at the table while Dustin, Graham, and I sat down at one a few tables down. I buried my head in Dustin's shoulder and forced myself to hold back the tears.
So it was really hard. And what made me angry about it .. Was that she wasn't that pretty. Graham and Dustin both agreed that I was much better looking, but Jen said she had an awesome personality. And I know that Dan liked me because I had spunk. Not because I had boobs.
So we took Graham home and then Dustin, Jen, and I went over to Joel's house to watch a movie. Me and Dustin passed out real early. Haha .. he slept on te couch and I slept on the damn uncomfortable floor. Jen and I baked brownies today and talked about the Dan situation.
I definately know now that I would take him back .. I think I fell a little too hard for my own good. Because right now I feel like a lost puppy.
I don't want pity. I can hold my own. I am an independent girl. I am stronger than anyone thinks I am. I will make it past these hard times though I know hang my head low. Even though Dan has hurt me beyond belief .. My Dad and I are having major problems with certain things .. And just the every day drama of life is shitty. I will survive.
So yes, I do appreciate the words of encouragment from my friends but honestly -- All any of you are going to do is tell me something I already know .. Most of you that post on here are younger than I .. Though you have had your share of experiences and are older than your age says .. I am still further beyond you. I've been chewed up. Swallowed. And then spat back out. I've been through Hell and back numerous times. I love you all dearly .. But advice right now isn't going to convince me to do anything. I'm following my heart, and oddly enough my heart is telling me that Dan and I can work things out.
But I do have a question that puts you in my sitatution. I'd like to know how you would react to all of this. Literally, all I know is falling apart. How do you handle it?
Once again .. I have a cold cold heart today.
