The first time someone I loved left me behind... I didn't know how my family would balance. We had been such a sturdy little end table, four solid legs.

When someone you loved is in love with someone else, you can’t help but be jealous. But when a close friend of yours is in a relationship, it saddens you a little bit.

In reality, though, he has become a stool because he was once a table.
