Whatever It Takes (Realization Challenge but also a 100% true story)

“I’m sorry it’s the only way, Jude,” I said, tears filling my eyes.
“No, Lucy, its not! I love you, give me another chance,” His face was desparate, “please…”
“I’m sorry…” I turned to walk away. It was right, I kept thinking to myself, there was just no other way, we just don’t get along anymore, but he did seem willing to try, but its too late now.

I walked home and slung my bag over the chair. I grabbed a snack and went upstairs to my computer. I signed on to AOL , eagarly awaiting the recap of the days drama and gossip. No one was on.

Crap, and I really wanted to talk today, oh well time for some tunes

I walked over to turn on the radio, and as soon as i did, i heard that song for the very first time.
“I’ll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what’s at stake
I know that I’ve let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I’ll keep us together
Whatever it takes”

And it was in that moment, I realized how terribly wrong I had been.
