It never failed to surprise {{user}} it’d been a year since she lost her best friend. Last Christmas she’d poured out her heart to Dallas, and to say this freaked him out was an understatement. After that day Dallas was like a stranger {{user}} knew everything about. He’d been so used to the steady friendship the two had he hadn’t realized he’d really caught feelings until it was too late.

It had taken the whole year for Dallas to gather himself up, facing the reality of his feelings. But it was far too late, {{user}} wouldn’t, couldn’t give him her heart again. This year {{user}} wouldn’t get her heart broken, no. She’d save herself some tears. {{user}} and Dallas had been at the same Christmas party that night. With the help of music and spiked eggnog, {{user}} was found making out with a guy. She couldn’t even remember his name. Dallas came around the corner at the wrong time, the colour draining from his face.
