The next day, Sabrina sent a text message saying that she wanted to break things off with me. She had heard about what had happened between Sapphire and I, and said that she was so repulsed with my behavior that she did not want to be friends anymore. I tried to reason with her and explain why I was so upset. But it was no use. She had already made up her mind and nothing that I could say would change that. How could it be that my sweet dream had become such a nightmare so fast?
The ironic thing is that I had had the same nightmarish dream of the three of us breaking up many times, but I had never thought it could happen because our bond (I thought) was too strong. Clearly though, I was wrong.
I haven't had a lot of near-death experiences but in the days that followed my breakup with Sabrina, and Sapphire I felt like I was drowning. How could it be that all this time the nice, warm pool that I thought I was diving in was actually a rough, terrible sea filled with sharks? I was going to die.
Unless, this wasn't the end?
