Can you actually die from a broken heart? Because my chest really does hurt. It feels like somebody's stepping on it. Or slowly pulling it apart. Really, you should not be allowed to dump someone on the first day of school. Somebody should make that illegal.
Of course the whole school has heard by now. People I don't even know come up to me to ask what happened. Even the short little freshman who look scared. You can always tell who just wants a part of the drama. Always. They always act overly concerned. "How ARE you? No, really!"
Alex made me a card to cheer me up. She was so proud of it that I tried to smile at her but I didn't fake it very well.

i don’t know if you can die from a broken heart. maybe you can, if you let yourself. i think maybe that chest pain is mostly sobs that haven’t come out yet. all i know for sure is that i felt i would die the first couple of times my heart was broken. after that, having my heart broken gave me that “if it doesn’t kill me it makes me stronger”-feeling. it hurt like hell for a while and afterwards i felt like i had truly gone through hell - shaken and a little proud of myself.
people at school talking about it doesn’t make it any better. i hated people talking behind my back. conversations hushed when you rounded a corner and everyone suddenly shuts up and stares at you. i even hated it when people approached me and said how sorry they were (except you could see they were soooo glad it hadn’t happened to them!). news like that usually lose their fascination for others after a few days, and hopefully you’ll have peace then.
be strong, sam. this won’t kill you. it just hurts like hell.
It won't kill you but it is definitly a pain that you feel in your chest.
You're made of stronger stuff and will live. It'll just take time.
