up.” She paused for a minute to catch her breath and gather her thoughts. “Luke and I were there for you, but we were there for him, too. He was away from home, his family, his friends, and he had just lost the love of his life. Shit was not easy for him.”
    “Yeah, it looked really hard for him to fuck his way through Hollywood.” I huffed out a breath of air, scoffing at her for trying to make me feel bad.
    “Sure, Mads, I saw the magazines just like you did. But what you didn’t see was the emptiness in his eyes. You were too broken to see that he was too. Yeah, there were women, just like you dated. But you two are more similar than you think. He didn’t feel jack for anyone, just like you didn’t. It’s all been an act. Neither one of you has been able to move on, and you know it. If he’s come back for you, then you owe it to yourself and to him to figure it out. You two were meant to be together. If there was ever such a thing as soul mates, then you guys are proof that it exists. And I don’t give a shit how sappy that sounds. It’s true. You’re fucking soul mates,” she said, getting choked up, which was highly unusual for Genna. She was a bad ass. A rock. But for some crazy reason, I thought Genna’s heart broke too when Evan and I broke up. She was there from the beginning, my best friend watching our love grow from the first time he talked to me in class that day to the time he left me behind. She had always envied the love we had and would often tell Luke that he better love her the way Evan loved me. Completely and passionately.
    Ironic, right? Luke and Genna were about to get married and she had envied Evan and me. The couple that was so in love that they thought they had it all, until it was all gone and nothing was left but heartbreak, tears, and lonely nights.
    Yes, I could have gone with him, but I chose not to. Going on tour with him, living in a big bus with a crew full of men traipsing across the country had no appeal to me. And while Evan asked, I just couldn’t believe he really wanted me there. Since his career had skyrocketed, he had become distant. The little things he used to do were a faint memory. He forgot important dates. He forgot to call. He was too busy for anything, and when we did go out, he was always busy talking business, while I felt like a single woman again. I could have said something, made him see how he was making me feel, but I really didn’t like how I felt either. I was proud of his success. He had worked so hard for it, but I also felt alone. And if I felt alone at home, I couldn’t imagine how I would have felt going on tour with him. Eventually my silence would break and who knew what would happen. Part of me thought he would choose me, and give up his new world. I didn’t want to be the reason he gave up a huge career in music. I knew I’d only hold him back. I loved him enough to let him go. Despite how it shattered me.
    The other part of me was scared that he wouldn’t choose me at all. He would end it completely, realizing I wasn’t worth his time. And he did just that when he gave me that fucked-up ultimatum. All or nothing. “Come with me, Sunshine,” he had pleaded. “If you don’t, I can’t see how we can stay together. We may as well say goodbye.”
    So, I did. I said goodbye to the love of my life and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. For months, I thought I was going to die I was so crushed. Then, the tour got underway and so did Evan’s man-whoring lifestyle. Nothing like watching your ex on TMZ with his tongue down some leggy blonde’s throat to mend a broken heart. Although the photos hadn’t started as soon as he was on tour, it had felt like it to me. He. Had. Moved. On. And I... I was just... broken.
    “Well, it’s over, Gen. It was a beautiful song. I’m sure it will race to the top of the billboard charts in no time, but that’s it. Evan and I have been over for years. I’m with Michael now, and it’s not as
