Wow oh wow

Last night I went to watch the Blues Festival and I ran into one of Emmet's friends.

Hey, Nikki, he called out while jogging towards me.

I looked back and did a double take.

It was one of Emmet's best friends.

Beavis to Emmet's Butthead.

Archie to Emmet's Jughead.

Seth Cohen to Emmet's Ryan Atwood.

You know where I'm getting at.

Anyway, I went to panic overdrive because I thought that Emmet was going to be with him considering that they are a package deal.

Also the fact that I was out on a double date with Rebecca, my date and his friend.

So you can imagine how hard I was grabbing onto Bec when I caught a glimpse of this person calling out to me.

What's going on, he asked. While looking over my shoulder. Obviously checking my date out and making a mental note on what he looks like.

I'm good. Everything's fine. I'm freezing though, I replied. Bec and I applauded on how I handled the conversation later on in the night.

So.. how's things with you and...., he asked. He turned a bit red. I know he doesn't like asking personal questions but I guess curiousity got the best of him.

You know, don't you, I asked. I wasn't going to pretend that everything is fine when it's not.

Yeah, hey I'm sorry about that by the way, he said. He looked down and then looked at me. His eyes were sad.

It happens, we can't do anything about it, I replied. I didn't want to continue the conversation because my eyes started watering.

And I refuse to cry over him anymore.

Well looks like you're moving on anyway, he looked past my shoulder and glared at my date.

So I had no choice but introduce the two to each other. Bec pulled her date and my date aside so she can have a smoke somewhere.

I can't say I'm not disappointed. You guys were really good together, he said.

I know, and I really cared about him. You know I loved him but it didn't work out. You know Emmet and I both tried. So hard. But sometimes you just have to admit that that's all it could ever be, I said. By then I was already teary so I looked up willing myself not to cry.

Anyway, please don't tell him we ran into each other, I said.

No, I won't. You look after yourself and tell me if that dickhead doesn't treat you right, I'll bash him for you, he joked.

I walked towards my friends and Bec made the most obvious comment;

It's happening. The division of assets and friends. I wouldn't be surprised if you have to return each other's things.

I looked at her and calmly said, his friends have always been his friends. And my friends have always been mine.

I don't expect them to stay in contact with me.

And then she said, Just the same as I'm not going to stay in contact with him.

By the end of the day, you know you did the right thing. Stick with it don't relapse and you'll be fine, she added.

My date looked a bit awkward and that's when I realised that I'm not ready to start anything with anyone.

At least not yet.

Then on my way to crashing to bed, Bec sent me an SMS, of course you won't be ready. You have Regan coming over in four days and your exboyfriend's posse is all over town. Man, I feel sorry for your next boyfriend. I could hear his heart breaking already LOL.

Better his than mine.
