Homecoming heartbreak

Have you ever had a date bail on you? I have. He gave me his word, but the day before he was going to "formally" ask me...he says he's going with a different girl cause she was worried about having no one to go with. I can't describe the feeling I had when I saw his message. I was...heartbroken. Sad. Choked up. I was holding back the tears from spilling down my cheeks. I really liked this guy, he was my best friend. I talked to him about everything. The girl, who's name will remain unexposed, did deserve a date to this dance, but she could have gone with another guy. I have never cried over a guy before. All he could say was "I'm really sorry". I've learned by now that sorry doesn't always help. Sorry is just a word. Sorry can't just fix everything. Like i said, I can't  describe the feeling I felt. I was shaking, trying hard not to show how upset I was. I was crushed. But...I had known something bad would happen. It was too good to be true. It was a fairytale and it wasn't going to come true..cause fairytales aren't real. It seems depressing but that happens. It happens to a lot of people.
