No, it won’t kill you.  It will hurt like anything if it turns out that this guy likes her more than he likes you, but it won’t kill you.  Also, if that happens, it’s not that she “took” anything from you.  If a boy really likes you the best, then he doesn’t let himself be taken.  And since it seems he was never completely your boyfriend in the first place, isn’t she free to like whomever she wants to?  This does hurt, I know.  I remember a guy I liked in high school who liked someone else better, and though he was friendly with me, I could tell he didn’t see it as a romantic thing.  I got over it.  Really.  So will you.
