He slammed the door and left.
I didn’t watch him leave, I made myself some
noodles, ate them quickly, then snuggled up
in bed.
I slept through the night.
But I woke up with a high fever.
Luckily, Sarah knew something was wrong
and found me.
Ben was gone for a whole month I had no
issues, I was resting and recovering from the miscarriage. His buddies, for some reason,
were all over me during that month.
They sent me pictures by mistake, or called
my phone by accident.
I was so annoyed, I blocked them all.
After I was healed up, I went to my follow–up
at the hospital, and at a stoplight, I saw Ben
and Tiffany.
He was grinning like an idiot as he bought
Tiffany a bouquet.
Because his “girlfriend” had said he looked
handsome.
I tugged at my coat, wanting to get out of
<
here. But Tiffany spotted me and grabbed my
arm.
“Oh, Jo, don’t get me wrong, if you’re mad,
you can have these flowers,” Tiffany said,
eyes wide, looking at me.
But there was something mocking in her eyes.
I was annoyed, I pulled my arm away.
Suddenly, Tiffany was on the ground.
Ben helped her up, glaring at me. “Jo, your
need to stop being so jealous. It’s just some
flowers, you could buy them yourself.
“There’s a security camera.”
I pointed at the camera on the traffic light,
annoyed.

The light had changed to red.
Tiffany started to panic, she grabbed Ben,
and said gently, “It’s fine, Ben, don’t blame
Jo, I’m okay.”
“You’re so understanding, unlike some
people,” Ben snorted..
I stared at the light, counting down the
seconds. Tiffany suddenly said, “Ben, do you
think that if you jump into a red light, a car
would actually hit you?”
“Why don’t we bet? I bet the cars would stop
for pedestrians.”
I felt uneasy. I tried to move away from them.
when Tiffany yelled, “Jo, what do you say?”
<
“I’m not making a bet.”
I rolled my eyes at her, and took a few steps
to the side. Ben grabbed the back of my coat.
“Jo; Tiffany’s talking to you, where is your
respect?”
“Just a little bet, does it bother you that
much?”
“Let me go!” I was angry.
When there was ten seconds left of the red
light, Ben snorted, “Since you’re not betting,
you can be the stake!”
“Aah!”
He shoved me out into the busy traffic. The
く
change was so sudden, there was no time for
the cars to react.
They rushed towards me.
I was thrown into the air, then slammed back
down on the ground. I was in a pool of blood.
My whole body felt like it was being ripped
apart.
“Jo! Jo!”
I heard Ben’s voice, panicked. He was
frantically running towards me, pulling me into
his arms. “Jo, hold on…”
“B–Ben.” I struggled to get the words out.
“We’re getting a divorce.”
