Stella's future was set, and it was a bright one. She was engaged to a man she adored, and was headed to law school in the fall. Tragically, her perfectly planned future ends just as it was beginning.
With no ties to family or friends, Stella finds herself alone in a new city, spiraling out of control. Her typical day comes to a close with her passed out on the floor; sometimes clothed.
Luckily, her new roommate, essentially a stranger, is dead set on getting Stella past her grief and back to functioning within society. Putting one foot in front of the other, she climbs up from the bottom of a bottle. Even with all her progress, Stella walks through life unfeeling, numb. Defiant, she sends out warning signals for the world to keep away. But, is that what she really wants?
With the steadfast help of a few tight knit friends, she gradually begins to feel again. She starts to savor the flavor of food again; lets herself notice how the handsome bartender glances at her. Still, after allowing herself a fling, she wonders if she will ever be able to let go of her shattered past, fully enjoy the present, or get over what she thought would be her perfect future and with the man who destroyed her heart.

Date from hell...As a favor to a friend, I double-dated with a guy who was the friend of my best friend's date. I was only 15 at the time. He was 20!! I wasn't attracted to him in the least!! (Plus, I didn't know he was 20!!). My best friend and her date started making out in the car, so the other guy and myself got out of the car. He told me there was a lake nearby, and we went for a walk. He stopped me and we sat down on a secluded picnic table...THEN...he proceeds to whip his DICK out!?!? WHAT?! The favor for my friend DID NOT include a favor for this ass!! PLUS, that was my first time seeing an adult male penis!! I was scarred!!
Hahaha!! I love RL!! Great interview! Thanks for sharing!
I haven't had many bad dates considering I was married at 17 and still married to that same man almost 10 years later. BUT, I remember being on a date with a boyfriend and he made me spaghetti and gave me a glass of milk. Well, the spaghetti was spicy so I kept drinking and then drank another glass of milk...well turns out my stomach does not do well with milk so I had him drive me home and the whole way, my body is shaking and I know I'm about to throw up but I keep thinking, I can't throw up in his car. I felt like the drive home was hours long, I couldn't talk to him or look at him. When we finally made it to my house, I just jumped out of the car and ran to the door and of course had problems with the keys and when I finally made it in, I rushed to the bathroom and threw up all that gross milk! So what was supposed to be a nice gesture of him cooking for me turned out to be a terrible experience. yuck!
My worst date ever was a blind date set up by my sister where the guy came dressed up as a girl. I'm not kidding!
My dad from hell was our 3rd anniversary and we went to a really nice and expensive steak restaurant. Well our sitter had to back out on us so we thought he's a good baby for 6 mons we should be fine. Yep he was fine the first 10 mins we were there. Then it was like he turned into a demon spawn. So my husband didn't get to enjoy his meal because he was up walking around in and out the place with our son. The waiter packed my hubbies food and brought the bill. Told us another couple paid $100 on our bill so we only had to pay $50 that was tip included. So it turned out not so bad. I just wish I knew who paid it say I could have thanked them. I think I knew who it was but they were gone by the time the bill came.
I was 15yo and my friend asked me to go with her bf friend to the prom as a friend. I agreed. Anyway a bunch of us went together got a limo had a great time after the prom we were renting a hotel to have a party..well they guys came back with their own keys!!!! I had no idea what to do.. So I made an excue and said I had to call my Mom (we didn't have cell phones then) I went into the Motel office and the man behind the counter called me a cab. The ass actually came looking for me and the hotel clerk let me hide in the back til the cab came. Well I never spoke to that so called friend again!!!! Melalex513@yahoo.com

Date from hell.... Haven't had many but in college I asked a guy to my sorority spring formal and he spent the entire time making out with one of the other girls in the sorority. I was not expecting anything from him but thought maybe he would at least talk to me. He was such a loser. At least I was able to joke about it with my friends!
