Anyhow, I was in Fairfax, Virginia at the time visiting my dad and my friends. I had previously been living in Virginia for two years for my sophomore and junior year. So, for my senior year I decided to come back to Richmond and be with my mom.

New Year's Eve started off to a good start. My friend Teresa and I went shopping for new outfits so we'd look our best at this big party we planned going to later that night with some other friends. After that we went to my house and got ready. Once we were ready, we left my house to meet up with our other friends. We ended up taking two cars. Teresa and I in one car, Holly, Lisa, and Kari in another car.

Now, for the past few days I had been kind of down and out. Before I moved back to Indiana in August, I was seeing a guy name Jimmy Felker, who I thought at the time was so wonderful and sweet. We got along so great. We had so much in common. There was definitely a connection between us. His friends loved me an

The next day he and his friends came over to visit. I enjoyed playing hostess, trying to make a good impression on Jimmy's friends, for he had brought over two new friends that I hadn't met before.

Back to the trip to the New Year's Eve party, I was psyched about going and meeting new people. But I had this funny feeling that I'd run into Jimmy at the party. As my luck would have it, I was right.

Jimmy answered the phone and when he realized whom he was talking to, he mumbled something I couldn't quite pick up, and then he said to hold on, that he was talking to someone on the other line.

He broke away from the conversation after I explained to him that my feelings for him were still strong as ever and that I thought that right before I moved back to Indiana, I was falling in love with him. I watched him walk away and bit my lip so I wasn't to break into sudden tears that I felt slowly emerging.

A few minutes later, she returned with Jimmy who reluctantly sat down beside me. As soon as he sat down I began to tell him that I loved him and that I had never felt like this for anyone, etc. I poured my heart out to him and hugged him tightly. After I let him go, he got up and walked away speechless. I felt tears surfacing but I held them in.

He clicked over and kept me waiting for five minutes before I hung up and being the persistent person that I am, called back. This time I got no answer. I picked up his message quickly. He obviously didn't want to talk to me.

For the rest of the night, although I was hurting deep inside, I blocked my emotions so as not to act upon them. I played cards with some people I met that night for a little bit before I couldn't stand looking at Jimmy any longer. I retrieved into one of the rooms where my friends had been for most of the evening and watched television quietly. I really wasn't concentrating on the programs that were being shown though. My thoughts were on Jimmy. As the early morning slowly rolled around and my friends had passed out, I just laid back into a chair and looked out the window up at the sky for the rest of the night watching the sun slowly come up. I knew after that night, I'd never see Jimmy again. Which didn't bother me a bit for the simple fact that I never wanted to see him again.

After I moved, I tried to stay in touch with him like we had planned, but that didn't happen.

I reacted quickly by sending him an instant message. He told me a few stories about his experience in New York and how he was doing now, etc. I told him I'd be visiting my dad over Christmas break and that we should get together sometime during my stay, which at the time had seemed like
