Jared grabbed my wrist to prevent me from leaving. "We can't reschedule. Do you understand how busy my schedule is?"
Jared convinced me to come along with him to dinner. It was held on the ground floor of one of his father's restaurants.
I was kind of hoping that Sara wouldn't show up. I wanted her to have one of the many health problems that allowed her to take Jared away from me.
But the worst thing happened. Sara was there and dressed in the most exquisite dinner dress. Same with everyone else around there.
I was the only one who looked like I was just coming from work.
I couldn't even deny that the atmosphere changed as soon as I stepped in. Everyone stopped talking and started staring at me and shared as they whispered.
"Oh, you made it." Sara rose out of her seat and hugged my boyfriend as if he was mine.
I took my hand out of his, expecting him to say something, but he didn't.
"Wow, I didn't think Ashley would actually come." Kim said. "There's just one seat left."
"Well, we can always fit one seat at the end of the table for Ashley." Sara said, grabbing my boyfriend's hand and pulling him across the room to the empty seat beside hers.
