knew when we were thirteen that she was the woman I wanted to marry.
For years, I thought about what it’d be like to see him again, but this feels like something from my worst nightmares, especially since he’s with that witch. I wish a house would fall on her and the Munchkins would come out to celebrate with me.
“I know it’s been a long time but seeing him just makes me feel terrible about what happened between us.” I keep my voice low, and I see his face soften.
“Maybe it’s time you told him the truth then?” Donny’s eyes meet mine, and for the first time tonight, he’s being serious.
“I couldn’t. He’d never forgiv...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
It’s a shallow grave of where our love once lived. It’s always been reserved for him, and I’m sure it’ll always be there.
Hayden places his hand at the small of my back and pulls me close to his chest. His cologne brings back so many fond memories of all the time we spent together and how much it used to drive me insane.
“It was all a lie,” are her last words before she finally passes out.
It’s been 10 years, babe. I’m sure he’s not mad about that anymore.
Hayden I’m here. Waited almost ten minutes at your door. Considering you’ve rejected my call, I assume you don’t want to do lunch. It took years for me to get over you and work through the heartache that practically destroyed me. You didn’t have to agree to meet up with me if you didn’t intend to. You could’ve told me no. I’ve endured worse pain than that before from you.
“I knew lying to him would eventually catch up to me, but this is so fucking cruel.”
“I just don’t get it. Savannah destroyed you, and I don't know if I can really forgive her for doing that to you. You always were my hero and to see you so broken because of her was painful as fuck to watch. I hated her for you and part of me had to go through some of those emotions too while I helped you through it.”
“I know, but the thing is, there’s way more to the story than what you know. I’ve never told a soul, it’s a secret I’ve kept for a decade because I promised the person who told me. Similar to you holding onto your secret right now.”
I’m referring to the feelings he has for his best friend’s girlfriend, Lennon, who now happens to be his new roommate. Hunter’s buried them since she became off-limits, which I know is difficult as hell for him.
“I have a secret,” she whispers. I smile wide at her honesty. “I already know your secret, Sav.”
Hayden Manning was my first love, my first everything, and I broke him.
“I feel you. All of you.”
