He Set Me Up at the Wedding, I Took Him Down Chapter 10

He Set Me Up at the Wedding, I Took Him Down Chapter 10

One day before the wedding

Lila posted again. [The man I love most is getting married tomorrow. But I’m not the bride.

Attached. a photo of her wrist cut, lying in a hospital bed

I drove over, wearing sunglasses, and waited outside the hospital

Soon I saw Jaxon arrive

Lila threw herself into his arms

Jaxon stood there, not hugging her backbut not pushing her away either

I was too far to hear what they said

Lila cried into his chest

Strangely, I felt nothing at all

I remembered our second year together

Lost in the moment, I asked him. Will you ever cheat on me? Fall for someone younger or prettier?” 

He nuzzled my face. Don’t say that. Who’s more beautiful than you? If I could ever cheat, there are no good men left. I met you when you were twelve. We got together when you were twentyfive. Half my life has been you. How could I love anyone else?” 

All lies

My phone buzzed with a message from my mentor

[My supervisor is amazing. You’re going to love it here.

[I’ve been waiting for you! I thought you were just kidding 

about applying for your PhD!

[Hurry up! I’ll set off fireworks at the airport for you!

I looked at the pair in front of me and typed back.[Tonight.

I’d already erased every trace of myself from Jaxon’s 

apartment

I wrote in my diary

[2 days until the wedding. I finally understand: you have to 

love yourself first. It’s not that I don’t deserve love. It’s that 

you don’t deserve mine. I did nothing wrong.

[1 day until the wedding. These past few weeks, I let you play 

your gamebut I was really giving myself closure. So

wouldn’t regret leaving

I watched you hurt me, watched you act like you didn’t care… 

until I looked at you and felt nothing

Not even anger. Just disgust. Jaxon Reed, I’m done with you.

I packed my bags, turned off my phone, and boarded a plane 

without looking back

I had to let some people stay only briefly in my life

If I loved the wrong person, I’d let go bravely and keep moving 

forward. Every road has an end

But I was still curious

I ran away from our wedding too, Jaxon. Surprised?
