But he let me down. He let down this one-sided love I had chased after for miles.
People always say online that women shouldn’t spend their money on men or cross mountains and rivers for someone. That person won’t remember, won’t be touched.
You’ll be the only one feeling anything.
How true those words turned out to be.
It took me 20 minutes to pack, filling just half the suitcase. There wasn’t much left in that room that was mine.
Just as I was about to leave, Max suddenly came back. He was supporting a pale-looking Jane and anxiously shouted at me, “You’re already home, so hurry up and make some soup for Jane! She’s having terrible cramps!”
I held onto my suitcase, unfazed. I didn’t say a word. I just walked past him and headed for the door.
Max got furious. He quickly rushed over, grabbed my suitcase and smashed it to pieces.
“I said she’s got cramps! I told you to make the tea! Didn’t you hear me? Why are you acting like this? Who are you trying to impress?”
He was mad at me. Over his cycling buddy.
It was almost laughable. He was never like this before.
