Being in love with someone that you know will never reciprocate the same feelings for you is absolutely agonizing. But, what's even worse is them not knowing the fondness you have for them.

Why?

Because, they will always unintentionally break your heart over and over again.

After a few minutes of watching Tangled and enjoying our ice cream Jennie's phone goes off. She grabs her phone and looks at the caller ID.

Great. Fan-ing-tastic.

Mark, I love you man, but really?
