Rachel: My girlfriend wants to be with my best friend whose in love with her.

Maddy: That sucks. I’m sorry.

Rachel: It does suck. I don’t know what to do.

Maddy: Kelly’s been sleeping with Johnny for a month now.  She doesn’t want to tell him she’s with a girl. So she is dating him.

Rachel: Wow. I guess you win.

Maddy: I don’t think it’s a contest.

Rachel: True.

(Pause)

Rachel: Who’s Johnny?

Maddy: (breaking out into laughter) Who’s Johnny? He’s the star receiver on the Cherry Lane Varsity fucking football team.

Rachel: Oh. Sorry I asked.

    Rachel really got the shit end of the stick when it came to me. It's not that I didn't love her, we wouldn't still be friends otherwise. It's just that looking back I see so blatantly that I kept parts of me private from her. I couldn't risk the chance of investing my full self.

    My first car, was a '66 Ford Mustang. I wanted a Mustang just like all the guys in the neighborhood had growing up. Stephen bought me the '66 from his aunt. He gave it to me for our one year anniversary.

  • How we started 2009/02/18
    We hurried home after that. She kissed me again briefly before we parted ways. I barely remember the walk from her backyard to my bedroom. A million and one things were running through my mind. Yes, I had kissed a girl.

  • The End of Taylor 2009/02/18
    I bawled my eyes out while she told me all the ways she was going to hurt Taylor. I was devastated. I was embarrassed. How could I have let this happen to me? I just kept asking, and she just kept telling me...it's not your fault.

    It's not important what happened that night in the woods. What is relevant is what happened after leaving the party. Jimmy came over and grabbed her arm. She looked at me, with apologies. I looked back with anger. How could she say she loved me and go home with that neanderthal?

    So, I was in love with Kelly. Stephen was in love with Kelly. They started dating not long after that weird night in the woods. I was with this wreck of a boy named Taylor. I'm pretty sure Taylor was in love with Kelly, too. We were one big unhappy family of friends.

    I met Kelly the summer before my freshman year of college. We were pretty much instant friends, but there was one specific occurence that really brought us close together.
