Ch. 1 Engaged
Please Don't...
I sat in the chair as you showed off your rings to me. I can't seem to move or even think. My mind is blank but my emotions are out of control. I feel angry, sad, hurt, I wonder if you can see how I feel. You always said my eyes gave away my emotions. But you aren't even looking my way you're too busy attending to her.
I finally breathe not realizing I had stopped. I paste on a fake smile and I congratulate you both wishing you nothing but happiness. You look at me then, a smile on your face, I can't tell if it's real or not. But you hug me all the same and I know I am not imaging how you hold me a little tighter, and just a bit longer.
Soon enough I'm ripped from your arms and straight into her embrace, thin arms going around my waist patting my back as if she feels sorry for me. The congratulations done your hand searches for hers and it's more than I can take that day so I make an excuse and I leave amidst the protests. I make it to the car when I feel the tears sliding down my face. My world has fallen apart and I don't know what to do.
