Karlie wanted to curl up and cry. No, correction, she wanted to curl up with rocky road and cry. Filling out her transfer papers and giving notice with her current boss had really brought home reality. She hated that she was so upset. But once again she had finally made friends and was being forced to leave them. It always happened this way. She got comfortable, got to know people then let them get to know here and then the universe pulls the rug out.
"oops, Karlie's about to be happy," she said leaning in her work kitchen, "It's not fair."
What wasn't fair was the man she loved breaking her heart and kicking her out saying he'd miss her. Cheating and tossing her to the curb didn't allow him to miss her. And made it even more painful for him to say it. She wanted to kill him. She wanted to hurt him so that he'd feel a fraction of what she felt. But nothing phased him. No amount of non disclosure or flaunting her friendship with Jake got even the slightest reaction from him. It was like the last three years meant nothing to him, he didn't care.
Karlie moved in and out of optimism about her life. She wasn't sure whether to be excited about possibilities, overwhelmed by them, or to feel like she'd lost everything she wanted.
