I love him, but he loves HER!

Me and my crush finally started dating I was so happy I had waited for him to notice me for months. We hung out all the time, always made each other laugh and my life was great but one day it happened, my life became better than ever he finally said HE LOVED ME!! I mean I always loved him, but now he felt the same and I couldn't have been any happier. One WEEK later I was at work and my co-workers cousin (Brittany) came in and told me she found a new guy she really liked and that they had their first kiss about an hour before she came to see us. I was very happy for her and asked who the guy was and sure enough my fairy tale was over, she told me my own boyfriend's name and I started to cry, I told her we were together and he loved me, how could this be true ... My boyfriend found out I knew and never answered my phone calls and ignored my texts so it was truly over between us, the love of my life had crushed me. I was lower than I had ever been before and then I was told the worst thing that a girl could ever hear ... The love of my life asked Brittany, the one girl who ruined everything, to marry him ... I live in a small town and word travels fast, I have to hear about them every day now, and to make matters worse I live very close to him and have to pass by every day and pretend like I'm okay and seeing her car in place of mine doesn't bother me!
