breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
The Main Attraction
There is nothing like a warm, summer night date at the drive-in theater; car windows down, the mouth-watering scent of hot, buttered popcorn filling the air and children running through the gravel parking lot, occasionally getting clothes-lined by a speaker wire. I was eighteen and had been dating Bill for about six months. He was your typical Indiana farm boy, always clad in faded, Levi jeans, a button down plaid shirt thrown over a crisp, white muscle shirt and worn, leather cowboy boots. Like most of the guys in our small town, Bill drove a pick-up truck outfitted with a lift kit, chrome roll bar and sitting atop enormous, monster truck sized tires. Being a petite girl, at just over five feet tall, Bill had to lift me into the truck or I had to scale the beast myself.

The Trick
It was early October 2017 and I had come home from work and there was a woman in my home. My ex roomates brought her back here and they were drinking beer. These dudes were treating her like crap and I overheard that she wanted to settle down and raise a family.

To the First Boy That Broke Me
To the First Boy That Broke Me I thought you liked me back, but I was wrong, there was another girl you liked more than me, thought of more, desired more, wanted more than me. I thought we were on the same page and you knew we weren't, you didn't bother to tell me you wanted something else, something that I didn't know you wanted. The times I was in your bed, were you thinking of me or where you thinking of her? It wasn't cheating because we weren't technically dating, but the moment I found out that you had a girlfriend, only two weeks after you broke things off with me, I felt cheated. I had a feeling you were talking to other girls when you were seeing me, but I didn't know you were going to chose one over me. Why her? Why not me? Or another girl? What does she have that I don't?

Amnesia
Heartbreak can destroy you. It’s not the part where the relationship ends that makes it the hardest. It’s not how it took place, or where you were, or the last words that hung in the air like thick, black chimney smoke circling around you. It’s when you are sitting in bed at 3 AM with this empty, sulking feeling in your chest as you think back to the moments that lead up to the end. It’s remembering how it felt to hold their hand and be in their arms at night. It’s remembering how it felt to see their eyes look at you with pure adoration and love. It’s remembering how it felt to feel their lips against yours, as sweet as velvet, and the fluttering feeling that radiates from your body. It’s feeling complete for a single moment in this incomplete universe.

Why Me? I Still Care
A silent whisper I can remember very well, but the voice didn't relate to my fiancé. I woke up immediately after the random stranger trying to finish his "I love you beau-". I sat up in Fowler's position and directly focused my vision toward the stranger in my bed.
