It is your novel. You are the god. They feel whatever way you decide. Use your imagination. When you write about something you have not experienced use a substitute that you have experienced. Have you lost a friend? Have you lost a pet? Have you been disappointed? Have you felt lonely? The feelings are the same it is just a matter of degree.
Put yourself in their place. How do you feel? There is no right or wrong way to feel. People react to feelings differently, too. Some guys loose a girlfriend and get depressed and want to die. Some get angry and want to kill. Some go into denial and pretend not of feel anything.
Hope this helps. Good luck! Don't give up your dream.

Congratulations! I am in awe of a 14 year old with the discipline and perseverence to have already written 400 pages of novel.
I've written several novels and I can swear to you that I'd never have been able to do it until I was much older than you are.
I tip my hat to you with total respect.
I'd suggest just allowing yourself to learn from your experience. Back check your plotting. Flesh out your characters again and again.
When you get out your first draft, go in and cut it brutally by at least a third, better a half, and re-arrange and re-write it. Be heartlessly severe in your judgements about the person you were, the techniques you used the first time you wrote it.
When you've grueled over and finished the second draft, go back and do it all again, cleaning up gramatical errors, spelling, plot deviations, meandering, everything that isn't vital to the meat of the work.
Best wishes to you,
J

That sounds like a really nice novel! I would like to read it later on in my life. I like fiction, especially when it has to do with powers and all that fantasy crap... lol
But I really can't help you as far as the feelings go, I'm also fourteen and haven't had a boyfriend, so your not alone on that one! lol
I'm sure your story will come out wonderful!

Instead of asking someone else, picture yourself being the girl. Even though you have never had a boyfriend (it's OK btw), think of how that would feel. Think of a boy that you like and go from there.
If you want your work to be genuine, it's gotta come from your heart. BE A WRITER, DAMN IT!
Good Luck

Please learn capitalization. Please.
But in any case, every person acts differently. Your character may get angry and blame herself even though she has done nothing wrong, or she may withdraw from everything around her.
If you would elaborate on the storyline I would help you out further, but I don't know the plot or the character so I can't help you.

Describe it as your heart and mind would imagine it to be. If your characters are the type to move on quickly, intertwine that in. However, if they are deeply in love and dependent on one another, describe their break up as horrid and unimaginable.

nicely, the two you like traditional names like Edward and Elizabeth or you like cutting-ingredient names. I advise you write the e book and %. a identify later, one which summarizes the main topic. And yet another factor, do not use contractions like do not and could not until eventually they're in communicate. desire I helped! sturdy luck!

Hurt, lonely, angry, sad, confused, empty, all of the above... take your pick.
