Love of end 11

Love of end 11

Watching Jack walk away, I felt a sour taste cling to my tongue

It all made sense nowhe’d been in on it from the start

Sending me to the hospital wasn’t about care or concern. He needed me out of the way so he could take charge when Sebastian’s body was found. The whole aftermath? Jack would handle it

And me? I’d be dead before I even realized it

Sebastian really thought he’d nailed every detail

Too bad for him fate had other plans

Gigi’s accident threw a wrench in their scheme. They couldn’t reach Sebastian, so they called me. Pure luck

I owed her for that. If she hadn’t asked me to swing by the house, I never would’ve found out what they were up to

Jack melted into the crowd, but I couldn’t shake one thought: What’s he gonna do when he reads that letter

*** 

The truth hit like a wrecking ball at the doctor’s office

The doctor scanned my file, his voice calm but his words gutting me: I’d had an abortion and was given drugs to keep me from getting pregnant again

My health had been fine back then. All the stuff I was dealing with now? Side effects from those drugs

For years, I’d blamed myselfthought my body had never fully recovered from the miscarriage. But that wasn’t it at all

Disbelief crushed me. I made him say it again

When did I ever have an abortion?My voice cracked

He pulled up my file and turned the screen toward me. There it wasmy signature

The room spun. My vision blurred

And then it hit me

Love of end
