Because saying "I Love you" has nothing to do with meaning it.*
When you can't fall asleep, and your heart hurts so bad, and the only thing you can do is sit in bed like a puddle, you just need someone in your presence...But it's too late. You can't call your best friend, because they're sleeping. You hug the stuffed animal your boyfriend gave you for Valentines day, wishing he was there, wishing your best friend was there, wishing someone could comfort you. You can only think about the things that are bad, and your stomach ache gets even worse. You want someone to hold you, and tell you it's all okay...No One's around. So you lay back down, and sob, still hugging the stuffed animal, and fall into a light sleep, and you wake up every half hour until 1:00, and then you sleep the whole night through after that, even though you haven't slept a whole night through in months because there's so much on your mind. The night goes by too fast, and you wake up screaming because your dreams are full of horror and you just can't wake up from them...Your alarm goes off, you wish it hadn't because you feel sick again, and you just want to sleep. You can't. You get up, go to school...and just tell your best friends to hold you. Only 3 of them do...you go the the nurses office, come home...and you're back where it started. <3
