After Learning Their Lesson they regretted it Chapter 8
  1. 8

Carter’s here to take Brittany to pick out her 

wedding dress

Five years, and they’re finally tying the knot

Mom glances at me, worried I’ll be upset

I smile

Someone who’s been dragged through the 

mud isn’t going to lust after some shiny 

prince anymore

I watch them leave, and Carter turns back 

suddenly

It might be a little hard for Brittany to try on 

wedding dresses alone, could you help her 

carry her purse?” 

He’s staring right into my eyes, like he’s trying

to read my soul

I’m taken aback

Isn’t he supposed to hate me

I suddenly remember all those times he’d 

show a small bit of kindness to give me hope

make me want to try again, even when

wanted to give up

It always gave me the illusion that Carter 

cared about me

wee just on illusion

く 

But it was just an illusion

Oh, right, Ashley, I remember you play the 

piano so well

Could you perform at the wedding?” 

Brittany looks at me all sweet and innocent

like she’s genuinely hoping for my blessing

But I can see the warning in her eyes

Because she’s the one who broke my hands 

five years ago

I can still feel the phantom pain

Everyone’s waiting for my answer

Do I even have a choice

If I say yes, they’ll say I’m scheming 

something

If I say no, they’ll say I haven’t learned my 

lesson, and they’ll send me back to the 

hospital

Whatever I do, I’m wrong

It’s like I was born to fail

I don’t answer

Finally, Mom sees how uncomfortable I am 

and sends me away

Before I go, I make sure to give them

genuine goodbye

I sincerely wish you both happiness together 

Г 

I sincerely wish you both happiness together

congrats on the wedding!” 

Please, just leave me alone

For some reason, Carter looks even angrier 

after I say that

But who cares

From now on, his life isn’t my top priority
