It was 2 years ago, she told me about a guy who always wanted to take a tour of Brooklyn and she offered to be his tour guide since she was born and raised there. I met him during dinner in Queens with a group of her friends and he appeared to be a nice guy. I could tell he was interested in her and when he left to go to the bathroom, her friends started popping questions if she likes him and so on. Of course she denies it because this was really the first time talking to him. It was during ride back in his car that I definitely noticed he was hitting on her as they were all talking a lot about how beautiful the cityscape was when a very clear sky. I was just wondering how long it would take before they started dating.
The new semester started and she told me that they started going out during winter break and are now official. It took me by surprised a little as how fast they were moving along. She was spending more time with him than with her friends such as going over to his place to cook and sleep over or studying together since they were passionate about music. I rarely see her except for when we have class together. Then it was towards the end of the semester that it started falling apart. They both had contrasting priorities and he was making decisions for her on what is most important in her life. She wanted to focus on her studies but he wanted her to focus on him more. It was spiraling out of control and getting ugly. I don’t remember who said they should break up first but all I remember was my friend no longer being her cheerful self, she cries every time she saw something that reminded the time they spent together, and she loses sight of what was important to her. She got emotionally attached too quick and deep within a couple of months of their relationship. This was her first relationship too.
She lost sight of passion for piano and classical music. She couldn’t concentrate at all. She tried to avoid Staller as much as possible because she feared if she ran into him that she would just freeze and start crying. Even when I tried to cheer her up and offered to listen to her worries, it wasn’t enough to cure her state of depression. It scared me. One time when she went into Staller, she saw her ex doing out with another girl already within a few weeks of their break-up. I really hated this guy now for how fast he seemed to move on and not caring what effect the break up has done to my friend. The guy even sends her email messages and text wanting to talk with her about their relationship but she would just get emotionally riled up and ignore them. She was like a broken doll that cannot be repaired no matter what you do. It wasn’t until a year later that she was able to move forward and try to get back to old self but still carrying that burden that still lingers from her past relationship.
