I saw Ben again at Zach’s bar.
I was done being a bartender, so I decided to
become a customer.
I was having a drink with a hot guy who had
just graduated, when suddenly the glass was ripped out of my hands.
“Jo! I’ve been going crazy because of you, and you’re out here drinking with another guy?!”
The hot guy looked from Ben to me, unsure of what to do.

gave him a reassuring look and motioned for him to leave.
Ben lost it. He sat beside me and covered my eyes, “You’re not allowed to look at him.”
I yanked his hand away. “Can you just act
<
normal for once? My child died, you have
nothing to do with it.
Ben put on his best pitiful look. “I’m so sorry.
I’ll never forget any special days we share
again. Tiffany and I have cut all ties now.”
I believed him. After what happened to them at
the hospital, I knew they were going to
separate.
But I didn’t care.
“Ben, I don’t care about whether or not you’re with Tiffany. I just want to break up with you.” Ben didn’t respond. Instead, he started
chugging glass after glass of liquor.
I couldn’t handle him, so I got up and left.
The next day, the hospital called.
Ben had alcohol poisoning. He had been sent to
the hospital, and kept asking to see me.
The hospital was in chaos, so they had no
<
choice but to call me.
I used this opportunity to make Ben agree to a
divorce.
“If you don’t sign the papers, I’m never going
to see you again.”
Ben was silent for a while. Then, I heard him
croak, “Fine.”
I went to the hospital with the divorce
agreement. Ben signed it without even looking
at it.
Then he stared at me, with a look of longing.
I smiled, and he smiled back.
“Ben, the words I said earlier were a joke. You think I’m going to forgive you? Dream on!” I could hear Ben crying in the hospital room.
I left with the papers, and the photos and videos of Ben and Tiffany and I was able to end the marriage, completely, without a trace.

Good riddance, you heartless ex–lover.

I heard about Ben again while I was sunbathing
on a beach in a foreign country.
Sarah called. “I’ve got some juicy news for you! Ben and Tiffany are in jail!”
Turns out that after the divorce, Ben had hit
rock bottom.
He started dating those nine women, and was paying them all too.
Tiffany couldn’t stand it, she felt like that
money was hers.
So, she went at Ben. And Ben got fed up with it
all. He sued Tiffany, making her pay back everything he had ever given her.
She couldn’t prove that they were gifts. The
courts ordered her to return all of it to Ben, one
<
item at a time.

Tiffany had snapped, and started following one
of Ben’s closest female friends. She then
rammed her car.
The girl survived, but was severely injured.
The girl then called Ben and started yelling at
him for Tiffany’s actions.
Ben was mad too, and went and rammed into Tiffany’s car as well.
Were they meant to be or what?
They started it together, and now they were out
to kill each other.
An eye for an eye. It just never ends.
I shook my head, talking about it with Sarah
before hanging up the phone.
The sea breeze was on my skin, and the sound
of the waves were clear.
The sky was clear, and the future was looking
bright.
