Thirty-two: MTOABB

MTOABB

"He is meant to be different-- my kind of different," I tell Cass.

Why does it surprise me that it’s Holly who got in between us - it was bound to happen. I knew that better than anyone.

"That's a big ask," she says.

"Is it really? All I ask is for a boy who knows how to love-- the kind that takes my breath away but still keeps me wanting more. He was meant to be that guy -- the perfect one for me."

All I wanted was to find an imperfectly perfect boy to make my love story complete. But every time I am fooled into believing that everything is better than okay, life smacks reality into my face and I’m stuck looking like an idiot.

I sigh. "I've ruined our sleepover, haven't I?"

"I don't think so. We can always salvage it with ice cream and cookies."

This time around, I had a girl best friend to keep me company as my heart shatters into a million pieces.

"Sounds like a plan." I use the coat to wipe my snort - that sat lingering on my nostril.
