I sit on the floor of the janitor's closet, shaking. I take long, shaky breaths as tears fly down my face. It was so sudden....
The door creaks open to reveal Ann.
"Leslie! Oh my god! Are you OK?"
I shake my head no.
"Ben sent me a text saying to look in here for you. What happened?"
"Ben. Ben happened." I choked out between sobs.
"What did he...?"
"He...broke up with me."
"Oh my God! That monster! You were already so fragile! How could-"
"He talked to them."
"Talked to who?" A small pause. "Oh my god... he didn't."
"He did. He got me the candidacy back. Under the condition that... well... there becomes no more scandal."
There's a small pause as Ann processes the information.
"Leslie, as your best friend, I need you to realize that this might actually be a good thing. I know you liked Ben, but this has been your dream for as long as I've known you. I can tell how much he likes you by doing this for you. Just, understand that please. "
I nod my head. That doesn't make it any less painful.
