Alison's POV (since when did I do this?)

"So why are you cancelling your event?" the lady on the other end asked.

I swallowed hard. "Um, well, we decided that we weren't ready to get married."

"Ok. Your refund should arrive in the mail by next Tuesday."

"Great. Thanks."

I hung up and sighed heavily as I leaned back on my bed.

I felt tears come to my eyes as I thought of David.

Everything was wrong. Nothing was ok.

I told myself this over and over again and the more I thought it the more I believed it.

He never loved me.

It was just that.

He was a perv, he hit on my sister, he had a freaking girlfriend while we were engaged.

A total jerk.

And to think that I loved him...

I got up and paced the room, tears starting to roll down my face as I gripped onto the fabric of my sweatpants.

I moved over to my desk and picked up the picture that I had of me and David and walked out the door.

I probably looked crazy to all my neighbors as I walked down the street in sweatpants, a sports bra, slippers, my hair in a ponytail with all my flyaways frizzed around my face and my mascara running down my cheeks.

I kept walking until I got into town.

People stared as I walked by, tears still streaming down my cheeks, the picture tightly gripped in my right hand.

I walked up to the door of who I now knew was David's girlfriend.

I breathed deeply and walked straight inside since for some reason there was no buzzer.

I walked up to the line of mailboxes and looked for her name.

"Josie" was all the label read since the last name had rubbed off, but I knew it was the one I was looking for.

Josie, my highschoool best friend, if you were wondering.

I picked the lock with a bobby pin that was attempting to keep some of my hair back.

It swung open easily. The security in that place sucked.

I ripped a corner of one of her letters off and pulled a pencil out of my pocket.

"Hey BFF. Just wanted to let you know that your boyfriend was my fiance. Was. -Ali" I scribbled quickly onto the scrap.

I took one less look at the picture, the smile on my face as I held up my ringed finger and David's laugh.

I then threw it into the box without another look and slammed the front of it closed.

As I was leaving, Josie came down the stairs with a smile on her face.

"Hey Ali! Whatcha' doing here?"

I shrugged. "Stuff." I walked out.

She quickly ran out. "Hey, are you ok? Do you want to go get some coffee or something later? To catch up?"

I don't know why, but I blamed the whole thing with David on her, and I suddenly hated the person standing in front of me more than anyone else on this planet.

"Shut up." I said and I let my hand connect with her face.

She looked up at me shocked as she held her red cheek. "What the hell?"

I felt tears come to my eyes again. "I-I have to go."

I quickly ran away, my head down as I held in sobs.

What was wrong with me? Alison Greenwald doesn't do things like that.

But she did.
