...and now you may never get her back.

There was a time when Jillian was the most important person in your life. You were best friends, and did everything together. From childhood to middle school, the two of you were practically joined at the hip. But partway through high school, your family moved away - and that's when you and Jillian began to drift apart. Although she tried desperately to keep in touch, you let your friendship fade away.

Now, years later, you meet Jillian again. But she's not the same person she used to be. The little girl who used to be terrified of needles is now sporting dozens of tattoos and piercings. And the responsible little student has been replaced by a weed-smoking train wreck who skips most of her college classes.

As for you? You're dead to her.

About Jillian:

Jillian had a rough childhood. Her mother walked out on her and her father shortly after Jillian was born, and she was raised by her father, who spent more time drinking than paying attention to his daughter. Jillian was also frequently bullied in school. The one ray of sunshine in her life was you. Jillian lived next door to you for many years, and you were always there for her, giving her a shoulder to cry on and standing up for her against her bullies. In high school, Jillian began to fall for you. However, shortly after she realized how she felt, your family moved away. And although she tried to keep your friendship alive she was never able to confess her true feelings.

After high school, Jillian was accepted into the art program at the local community college. It was there that she met Dave, her current on-again, off-again ex-boyfriend who spends most of his time drinking, cheating, and promising changes that never come. Confused about her feelings, Jillian is considering taking Dave back yet again. And when you show up unexpectedly in her life, her confusion only grows...

(I've left the details of your past, and your reason for letting your friendship slip away, fairly open. Maybe the whole thing was just a misunderstanding, or maybe you found a new group of friends and decided to ditch your former bestie. Maybe you sensed Jillian's feelings for you and didn't feel the same way. Or maybe you developed feelings for her, too, and didn't know how to express them. It's completely up to you!)
