Chapter 7 The Pain of Break-Ups
Chapter 7 The Pain of Break-Ups
The problem was that I was his official girlfriend, and today, on the day of our wedding, he came and
said such words to me. I didn't know that the man I had loved for so many years could be so
shameless.
"Hollie, thank you..."
Perhaps it was because of guilt, Vaughn said this quietly without any confidence.
Thank me? I laughed in my heart.
Looking at Vaughn's relaxed face, my heart ached. The man who once loved me and said that he
would make me happy for the rest of his life thanked me because I cancelled the wedding with him.
I'm such a pathetic joke...
"Get lost! I don't want to see you again!"
I pointed in the direction of the door and screamed. I was afraid that I would lose control and ask him
why he betrayed me!
...
"Did you hear that? Get lost!"
Feeling indignant, Evie hit Vaughn hard with the broom.
After Vaughn left, all my strength seemed to have been drained, and I sat on the ground blankly.
Although he was a scumbag, he was still a man with whom I had been in love for seven years. At this
point, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't heartbroken.
"Hollie. If you want to cry, you can cry. You'll feel better after crying."
Evie walked to my side and hugged me tightly, her tone full of sympathy.
"Why should I cry? I won't cry for such a shameless jerk. Evie, don't talk about this scumbag in front of Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
me ever again."
I raised my head slightly, but my tears kept flowing down.
"Hollie, I know you're in a lot of pain. Just cry for a while. When you're done crying, forget that jerk.
Let's start a new life."
Evie hugged me tightly. I could tell from her voice that she was also choking back sobs. She was my
best friend, and she probably felt sorry for me when she saw my current state.
I didn't know how long I cried. My eyes were swollen and uncomfortable, and I felt dizzy as if I had
used up all my energy crying.
After crying for a while, I went back to my room and fell asleep again. I spent almost one day and one
night in bed.
Even in my dreams, I dreamed of Vaughn, the scumbag, having sex with Laney on the bed.
Evie couldn't bear to watch me torment myself like this anymore, so she came to my room and woke
me up. This was the third day after my break-up.
"Hollie, get up and eat something."
I buried my head in the blankets and didn't want to say a word. I was not in the mood to eat now.
In the past two days, I was tormented to the point of madness. As soon as I closed my eyes, all I saw
was Vaughn's betrayal and deception.
"I won't eat!"
I just want to lie dead in bed and don't want to do anything.
However, Evie couldn't stand it any longer. She tore off my blanket and glared at me with some anger.
"Hollie, when did you become so useless? Is it worth humiliating yourself like this for a jerk?"
I didn't say anything, but my heart was still in pain. Although he was a jerk, I had loved him for seven
years. In these seven years, I gave him all my love, expecting to be with him for the rest of my life.
I thought that I would be taking another step into happiness, but in the end, what greeted me was a
bottomless abyss. I fell into it and couldn't get out.
