- 2.
I woke up in the hospital.
The nurse who helped me with Dad found me
and said I just had a bad concussion and
needed to stay for observation.
She asked if my family was around.
I checked my phone, and Greg hadn’t even
bothered to text.
But Brittany had another update.
“Altitude sickness is no joke! I was having
such a great day, and then bam! At least I
have my love to take care of me.”
And the pic was of Brittany holding Grea’s
And get this, he’s still wearing the wedding
ring I gave him.
And Brittany’s wearing the matching one.
I remembered a while back, I was so wiped

dinner.
He was so pissed.
“, I have billion–dollar deals waiting for
- me. I didn’t marry you to be my servant.”
But he’ll drop everything for Brittany for three freaking days.

about how she betrayed him.
Said he’d never forgive her.
We’d just met that day, but I felt bad and

I thought I was in love.

He’s always sneaking off to be with Brittany.
Eight years, and he’s forgotten all about her betraving him

I was just a joke, someone to fill the void
while she was gone.
I grabbed my phone and texted Greg:
Tell me when you get back, so I can grab my
stuff and go file for divorce.
Greg replied in record time.
“Brittany’s sick, I can’t leave her.”
“Just stop being dramatic and wait for me at

Yeah, no thanks.
The nurse said I needed to rest, so I checked
myself into the hospital.

I’d been sleeping here for two months straight
with Dad.
The nurses were more like family than Greg

He knew I was an orphan, all alone in the

He promised he’d always be my family.
But after eight years, I was still alone.
And to top it off, we never even had kids.
