"It is just weird." I said to her as curl fell on my face "You two met and it was all gooey eyes and rainbows. It is weird how things do not work out."
"It is like you said. Not all great couples end up together." Lana hummed "What was your example again? Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Spike. Like you said high school relationships are fickle."
"I was wrong." I vocalised, thinking about one person in particular who would love to hear me admit I was wrong.
Lana pulled away and switched off the curling wand as she sent a knowing smile my way "It is weird how things do work out."
Small but harsh knocks at the door end our conversation when a child's voice called "Lan Lan, can I come in?"
Excited to see the little troublemaker, I rushed to the door and opened it. When Charlie saw that I was standing there he then jumped into my arms.
"You will ruin your hair!" Lana shouted in an agitated but amused tone.
I pulled back but stayed at his level while tickling his cheeks "How is my favourite boy doing?"
"I'm super-duper, Drizzy." He said while tickling my back but then he saw what I was wearing so he added "Wow. You look like a princess. A sea witch princess."
"The best kind." I told him while laughing at his imagination.
A hand grabbed my arm and Lana yanked me back "I have missed a piece of hair. Quick, get here. Before the curlers cool down."
Charlie looked around the room in boredom while Lana demanded that I stayed still once more.
The small boy danced around the room excitedly before he stopped. His eyes landed on something that interested him. My bra.
The next thing I knew, he had it against his chest and he was prancing around "I have boobies."
Lana and I had no idea what to say to him, so we just laughed as the little boy continued to hold the bra to his chest.
"I think that I am going to end it with Brennan." My best friend blurted out.
"I am sorry." I let out gently, not knowing what else to say.
She admitted "I just wanted him to be the one. He is what I wanted. I told myself repeatedly that it would all work out. I wanted it so bad. I wanted it to be him so bad."
I stood up and pulled her into a hug while I reassured her "There is nothing wrong with changing your mind. You just need to be honest with yourself and with Brennan."
Once she had pulled back, she nodded and then her face contorted from heartbreak to confusion "It has got awfully quiet in here."
I searched around and seen no sign of Charlie before I looked back to Lana with horror "He is away with my bra."
