Seriously hurting right now, how do you cope with your first heartbreak?

Sam

So, I fell for a guy, we’ll call him G, I met 4-5 years ago at summer camp. We dated once before, the first time we met, for about a month and a half but since then stayed friends. He and I get along real well, we have this connection, or so I thought. Now don’t get me wrong, I could never hate him for anything, especially when it’s technically my fault. At first had had a small dumb crush on him, but for the last year I realized I’ve actually fallen in love with him, he’s so sweet and kind, has a great personality and sense of humor, very honest and he makes me so happy. I was gonna confess to him tonight, but he’s studying for mid-term exams, which I TOTALLY understand. When I ask him when he’s free, he says, “Tomorrow I was gonna visit my girlfriend cause she’s sick, but Wednesday I’m completely available.” At first I was honestly expecting that at some point, but not the day I would confess to him. We really did have an amazing friendship and we had so many great moments, like the time he picked me a daisy and put it in my hair during a bonfire and tucked it back into hair when it was almost out and I didn’t notice. Or all the times we slow danced during the dance at three end of camp. During a hike we had not long ago, and I wanted to stop for a minute to drink some water and catch my breath and he was the only one of our group of six who waited, and we finished the hike together. Or when he called me cute those few times..... I honestly feel hurt. I felt special. Like maybe he did return my feelings... only to find out I was too late. I’ve been crying for the last hour and a half. Does anyone have anything to say that could help?? Please..?? I’m upset to the point where I’m sick stomach.
