Maybe...maybe not.

He is tall with his built fit for his height. He is a funny and fun guy--every one who knows him and spends time with him will give the same testimonial. He likes to take things slow and prefers a relaxed pace by lounging around and playing video games.

She, on the other hand, has a frame that can easily be lost in his hugging arms. She, too, is a fun girl but a few notches below his caliber--let's just say they complement each other. She is quite domesticated and likes to keep things clean and organized.

They have a seemingly perfect relationship. They have a cozy and warm place together (read: they are living in). They are in love.

And then it happened.

According to him, she nags. According to her, he is being inconsiderate. Complaints were thrown back and forth. Then it worsened. Not only were words volleyed but as well as actions that were meant to spite...with each one outweighing the previous. Being the person that he is, he partied...hard. Not saying that he was happy but he was trying to cope with the hurt his own way. She started dating but not intending to find love; she wanted him to notice her. As they say, actions speak louder than words. And they truly did...with vengeance.

Amidst the chaos, she realized she wanted him back. She waited in vain but he flaked. Pride? Maybe. But regardless of his reason, it hurt her...so much. His realization came in much later but he is too-late-a-hero...She doesn't want him back despite his efforts to change and be a better person for her. And this, too, regardless of her reason, hurt him...so much. They parted ways before they could kill each other (as if they are not already dead with their hearts stabbed a hundred times and wrung out dry of compassion and love).

Years later, him being a renewed man who is now more responsible and her having a different approach to life, they crossed paths. They exchanged hello's and how-are-you's. Then they continued to walk down their respective paths.

And that's how The Breakup (Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston movie) ended. No reconciliation. No they-lived-happily-ever-after cliche ending. Wait...let me rephrase that: Gary and Brooke DID live happily ever after...just not as a couple. Maybe it's for the better...maybe not.

I yet have to figure out if the ending to MY story will indeed be for the better. Until then, the cameras will continue to roll...
