She dated him for the rest of the year - then the next year - then the next year. They did everything together. She lost practically all of her friends because she was hanging out with him so much. They were planning on going to college together and getting their own dorm. Then, right before graduation, he told her that he wasn't going to be going to the same college as her after her. Her heart broke. Then he told her that he didn't want to try long distance. He thought the relationship should just stop. She asked him why. He told her that he wanted to "see who I am without you." He also told her that if they were meant to be together, they would get together again someday. Of course, she was mad, sad, depressed. She completely blew him off at prom, even though they planned to go with each other. She was spiraling into a neverending hole. She never wanted to speak to him again. But slowly, slowly, she started to lighten up. She got some new friends at college, and even met a new boy, who she found she actually liked much better than the other one who she had wasted her entire high school life on. She married him. Turns out, the other boy found another girl at the college he went to, and married her. They're still friends to this day, and every time she sees him, she actually thanks him for breaking up with her. And he thanks her for letting him. Had they not broken up, neither of them would have found their husband/wives.

So, if something horrible happens to you, and you think to yourself, this could not possibly be a good thing, just have a good attitude about it. You never know if that breakup will lead you to you finding the love of your life. http://images.wikia.com/smtest/images/3/3b/Berneydidnotread.gif
