I knew he’d lost his best friend and the love of his life, but I’m not sure I ever fully understood how deep that type of loss could cut until last night. There’s no comparison between losing someone to death and losing someone because you were an asshole, but there’s also no comparison between loving someone and being in love with them. I knew I was falling hard for Nicole, but I didn’t realize how hard until she stormed away and I was swept into a new world of pain that I still don’t know what the hell to do with.
