Chapter 10
When I was traveling with my celebrity boyfriend over Thanksgiving break, he was recognized by his fans, who swarmed around him in a frenzy.”
I was knocked down in the chaos, suffered abdominal pains and miscarried.§
However, Jacob ignored me. The first thing he did was protect his good friend, Hailey to get in the car to leave.}
Afterwards.
Hailey sneered in her Instagram, [So what if she’s childhood sweetheart? She still can’t fight against me! Women are not as important as good friends!]
I replied, [A bitch and a dog are a match made. Trash should be thrown into the trash can.]}
The next day after the accident, Jacob seemed to remember me, his girlfriend.”
But he didn’t care if I was injured in the stampede incident, nor did he ask me where I was at that time.}
Instead, on behalf of his ‘good friend‘, he questioned my reply on Hailey’s Instagram. “Abby, are you crazy?“}]
“Hailey is straightforward and is not narrow–minded like you girls. How can you call her a bitch? Apologize to her!“}
Hailey echoed on the phone, “That’s right! Women are so hard to figure out.“}
“Hailey was pushed and injured by those fans. As her friend, I can’t look on indifferently!“}
He didn’t mention that I was also pushed down at that time because his attention was on Hailey.”
There were even a few sensible fans who noticed that I was bleeding and kindly sent me to the hospital.
I said, ‘Jacob, I was also injured at that time, and…“}
Before I could say the word ‘miscarriage‘, Hailey, who was on the other end of the line, retorted, “Don’t be so childish! Getting injured to let men care about you is out of date! I said women are so pretentious!“}
“Jacob and I are like two brothers. Nothing will happen to us even if we sleep in the same bed! Didn’t the fans say that they would believe we went to the hotel just to play the landlord? I don’t understand why you are so narrow–minded!“}
“Who told you that nothing will happen when two men sleep in the same bed?” I sneered.”
“You! You’re filthy!”
“Do you have to make a mountain out of a molehill? Are you satisfied?“}
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
A small matter?}
Was this just a small thing to him?>
[Jacob, let’s break up.]}]
I quit fulfilling their ‘brotherhood‘.}
But I found he had already blacklisted me.
Every time we had conflicts, he would blacklist me and have a cold war with me..
I didn’t know when it was all up to him whether we went cold turkey or made up.
But he was not like this before.}
Ever since he and Hailey had become friends on the screen, things had changed.}
In the past, for the sake of our childhood friendship, I couldn’t let go of him. I would forgive him every time he took the initiative to apologize.
But I suddenly got tired of him this time.
I was okay with him blacklisting me.}
I stroked my abdomen. The baby who once lived here was gone but before I could tell him.§
Maybe it was an omen.”
I was a game trainer who was good at playing the jungler and shooter. I played games for others to earn a living.
I was free but I was busy and had less socialisation.
Jacob wanted to be a game streamer before he entered the entertainment industry. He asked me to play games with him day and night.
He was not good enough and gave up. Instead, I managed to be a game trainer.
My dream was to be a writer. He said that he liked to watch me play games, so I abandoned my dream as he wished.
I rejected a lot of game orders and rested peacefully for a few days.
I just finished the discharge procedures when I received a call from Jacob. “Where are you? I’ll pick you up for dinner later.”}]
I knew that he was unilaterally announcing the end of the cold war.}
No, we are done.”
“Abby, don’t make a scene. I’ve been busy these days and ignored you. I’m going to take you to eat delicious food. Baby, let’s meet first, okay?”
He made it easy for me to oblige him every time he kept a low profile to coax me.
Since I couldn’t explain it clearly over the phone, I would break up with him face to face.
“I am in the hospital,” I replied.§
“I’ll be there in half an hour. Wait for me,” he said in an insistent tone.
My legs were numb and my lower abdomen was swelling after I stood at the entrance of the hospital for half an hour.§
The hospital was too cool with the air conditioning on, and it would have left me sick for I just had a miscarriage half a month ago.”
I thought that he might have been delayed by a traffic jam, so I could only sit on the flower bed under the big tree and wait in the hot
summer.
He didn’t appear until it was dark and he didn’t answer my phone.
I was afraid that he would get distracted by our break–up and get into a car accident on the way.”
But when I saw Hailey’s Instagram post, my heart really died.”
In the photo was the back of Jacob cooking sugar water for her.”
She wrote, [My good friend!!]}
I wasn’t surprised at all.D
At this moment, I felt neither disappointed nor angry, but extremely relieved.”
Hailey was right. How co
Hailey was right. How could I, a girlfriend compare to her?
