2 weeks later.....
"Babé! I can't believe that you became just free of cancer." Ian says excitedly as he hugs me.

"I am happy too." I say as I hug him back.

"Today is like the best day of my life." He says happily.

"Yeah, me too." I say faking my smile.

"Now all you have left is just that maintenance therapy."

"Yeah." I say as I give him a small smile.

"Aren't you happy?" He asks.

"Of course not. I am happy...so much....."

"We have to go shopping, babè. Tomorrow is Cassie and Eric's wedding. I am so excited."

"I am too, honey."

"It's a double celebration."

"Of course it is." I say happily but I am breaking inside. Those days have been so hard for me. I am pretending to be alive but I am not. I am dead from the inside. I am really dead. I have been waiting for Ian to tell me what has happened between him and Hayley but he didn't. To be honest, I even told Hayley not to tell him that she has told me. I guess I want to give him a chance of telling me himself. I want him to face it. I want him to come and tell me. I am so disappointed in him. I never expected this from him.

Next Day..........
Today is Eric and Cassie's wedding. I am really so happy for them. They deserve to be happy. They deserve happiness. Happiness....I guess I forgot the meaning of this word again. The person who gave me the meaning of it is the same person who took it from me. I guess that's life. Sometimes it's too cruel. Too cruel.....

I put on a sleeveless dark blue dress, black heels. I do my make-up and I put on my wig as my hair still hasn't grown up so much. I adjust myself then my door bell rings. It's Ian. We are going together to the wedding.
Today is the day.
Today is our last day together.
Today is our End.
The ending of our toxic relationship.

Later at the wedding......
The wedding is on the beach. It's really the perfect place. Everything is just perfect. Eric and Cassie are so happy. They are just so cute together. They are too innocent. I hope they make each other happy. I really hope so. They deserve the best. I look beside me. Ian is sitting beside me. I look at him for some time trying to understand how he brought himself to do that to me. I look at him trying to figure out the person sitting beside me. The person who has been lying to me for 1 month and half. The person who betrayed me. This person is not Ian. Ian would never do that to me. He wouldn't because he loves me so much. I know he does. I know he still do. I know. I love him too. I want us to be together forever. I really want that. I really do but fate doesn't want that.
