Flashcrap.

Scene: 2008. Country Club parking lot. Around 11:00pm.

Boy and girl have exited the quiet, serene country club. Boy grabs girl around waist, lifts her up, and twirls her around. After he puts her down, he walks to the middle of the parking lot and shouts, "I LOVE KATIE EGAN," into the dark woods. The tops of the trees capture the sound, but hopefully every house within a one-mile radius heard this declaration.

That movie moment, out of nowhere, flashed through my head. Made me dangerously nostalgic. My movie moments quickly turned into a soap opera.

Scene: 2008. Post-breakup. Boy and girl talk and are still "in love". Girl is at work and boy texts her sometime between 7:00 and 10:00pm.

The text said something about boy kissing someone, even though he had told girl he still liked her.

Next, girl easily forgives boy, despite her heartbreak.

Scene: 2008. Boy texts girl while she's at home (getting ready to meet boy) sometime in the afternoon.

The text read: I'm in a relationship with this girl...it just happened.

Yet again, girl is broken-hearted.

Yet again, girl forgives, but she is weary of their friendship.

Friendship works! Except not. Boy is unreliable and only talks to girl when he has other girl problems.

It's funny how things can change so quickly.

Go, girl. Get back on your feet.

She did.
