One Week

It's been on week. It took me just under one week to get over him. Although, this has probably been one of the longest weeks of my life.

Heartbreak may just been one of the most nonphysical painful things you will go through. For me, sometimes it felt like I couldn't breathe. My throat would get tight and my it felt as if any moment I could burst into tears, making breathing difficult. My stomach wasn't agreeing with me and I was never hungry. I had to force myself to eat. I even found myself unknowingly scowling at couples I saw out in public. I don't think I've tried harder than I had this past week to keep myself distracted. I picked up a ton of extra hours at work, I started knitting again and I went to the mall two days in a row.

The thing that really helped me move on and get over thing whole thing was, believe it or not, hanging out with his friends. Weird, right?

Ok, so it's not like I called them up and we sat and played video games on afternoon, it was really just accidental.

Friday night my friend asked me if I wanted to go with her and her university friends to the party the university pub was putting on. I'd already met her friends before (Halloween, soccer game, random library meeting) and for someone who isn't in school and wishes they were for the sole purpose of the social aspect, I love going with her to university parties and hang outs :)

So we went, I drank a little (but it was enough for this light-weight) and we danced and socialized and stuff. At one point, Ashley and I were dancing with Ben who is not only in engineering with Ashley and Lazer(codename, just go with it) but he lives on the same floor in residence with Lazer. I'd met Ben a couple times before. After Ashley and I had moved on, it finally occurred to me that Lazer might be there at the same party I was. I tried not to think about it though.

The night went on and I saw high school friends, met some randoms and then Katy told Ashley that Nikki was down visiting from Waterloo (unless you know me this will be meaningless gab) and that she was coming here to meet them. I, not wanting to be left alone in a pub, left with them. As we were walking in the hallway to go outside, Lazer's friend Matt was waving at me. I stopped and talked to him and let Ashley and Katy go see Nikki.

Well, this ended up lasting for at least an hour and a half. Matt was talking to a girl named Taylor who couldn't get into the pub and Matt was kicked out three times already (for under-aged drinking). So the three of us sat in the hallway talking to each other. Eventually Taylor's friend came and got her and they left searching for a guy who looked like Chris Brown and Ashley left with some guys we know. I was suppose to meet Ashley at McDonlads so we could go home together.

Once it was just Matt and myself, Matt's friends (and Lazer's friends) Ben and Conor come out to meet him. I talked to them all about the situation. They mentioned that he wasn't here because he'd gone home for the weekend (nice timing, huh?). Conor told me that he's just a douche and craves attention. Matt told me he was shocked when Lazer told him that he'd dumped me. Ben told me that he's not worth getting upset over.

I told them that I was just going to walk home and Matt insisted on walking me home saying his mom told him to never let a girl walk at night alone (sounds like my mom!). So we were going to stop by their dorms so they could grab a jacket and then walk me home. Well, Conor got distracted on the way to their residence (he was piss drunk. He told me to watch him do backflips, but he was doing them in his mind), so just Ben and Matt walked me home.

They all made me feel SO much better because the fact that Lazer's own friends said he's a douche for doing what he did to me just further proves that I'm better without him.

One week. I think that's pretty good :)
I even told him, I get over things quickly.
