I am staring at the headline and instead of feeling thrilled and filled with pride I am filled with disgust and disappointment. I have just been published in every major newspaper in the country, I am about to be interviewed by Entertaiment Tonight but all I want is to pick up the phone and call the men who had trusted me with all their secrets and their lives. I have managed with one column to destroy 8 years of their blood, sweat and tears and most importantly their triumphs. All I want is to tell them how sorry I am and how I wish I could take it all back. But I can't. I have ruined the career of the man I love and his four friends. How did I ever get into this mess.
My mind flashes back to the poem my mother has hanging in my old bedroom at
home. The line sticks out in my mind "You can cheat everyone else in this
journey through life but the one that you cannot cheat is the girl looking
back at you..the girl in the glass...Well I have cheated that girl in the
glass and now I have lost the love of my life, the man who had been willing
to fall for the stubborn and complicated girl who had years ago made a
promise to the girl staring back at her in the glass. She had promised that
she would never turn her back on love for the chance at a career as money
was not as important as having someone to love. I should have remebered that
promise and that poem before I made the biggest mistake of my life.
