title: Looking Back
author: Rhodes, Victoria
description: Tessa wants Beth back but when she goes out to get her she realizes it's too little too late. Beth has found someone else - an ex of her own - and it's hard to know if it is real or if it's just to spite Tess.
   Raymond has a girlfriend now, too, and suddenly Tessa realizes that she's completely alone. It's the one thing she's feared all her life, and it's happening. Her worst nightmare is coming true.
   The only friend she can turn to is Vince and his advice is stellar. Tessa is determined to follow it, until she messes up the last relationship she has. She now truly has nothing left, and she has to figure out a way to exist on her own and fix what she broke.
   It takes a long time for her to realize where she stands in life, and what she wants. The only way to really become who she wants to be is to let go. Tessa lets go of everyone she loves. Everything that's important to her. Because if you let something you love go, and that love is true, it will come back to you. Right?
