The Epic Story of Cara and Andrew Part 3

January 4, 2010
Andrew shows up with a gerber daisy (my favorite) 
as an apology for everything that had happened
 

January 16
We met up at a BYU dance and started dating again,
the world was back in balance.

February 13
We went to a Valentine's Dance

February 23
Breakup #4
Are you frustrated yet?

March 8
There was a shirt of his that I had and so 
we met up so that I could give it back to him.
This breakup seemed to be the most final of them all.

In the next 7 months, I saw him only once while 
I was running and he was longboarding and 
we passed each other, looked back at each other 
but never stopped.

August 16
I meet
Jimmy
Let me tell you a little about him.
The whole time that we were dating, 
Jimmy was Andrew's go-to guy. 
Pretty much, Jimmy knew everything 
about me and our relationship.
So Jimmy joins my ward and we end 
up becoming really good friends.
It wasn't until a few weeks later that 
we had made the connection of how
we knew each other. 
I realized that Jimmy suddenly knew
a lot more about me than I wanted him to.
So, out of curiosity I start asking him
about Andrew and what he
has been doing all this time.

Nothing really happens for a couple weeks.

September 3
I go to an Institute Dance and see Andrew there.
The same place and event that we had first 
discovered that we had feelings for each other.
And there he is dancing with another girl.
I found myself having to sit down because I had
so many emotions coming back and I was so 
nervous and mad that he was  
right there 
and I couldn't do anything about it. 
Apparently, Andrew had the same feeling 
as I did and over the next couple weeks,
we both would talk to Jimmy and tell
our feelings about the other person.
Jimmy would then tell me what Andrew 
was feeling and would tell Andrew
what I was feeling.
We both still had feelings for each other
(wow I just said "feelings" a lot)
So we met up and it was instant.
We were back together.
There were no questions asked,
no awkward DTR's,
we just both knew it.
