Chapter Nineteen

Vic's POV

The doorbell rings but I don't bother getting off the sofa until I hear Jenna call my name.

I stumble out of my blankets and get off the sofa that I've been using as a temporary bed. No part of me wishes to sleep in Carter and I's bed.

I don't know where Carter is. I couldn't possibly care any less. I want nothing to do with him. How could he cheat on me? He had the audacity to propose to me and then hook up with someone else! Who does that? If he didn't want to be with me, he should never have asked me to marry him.

I'm more angry than saddened though. I feel betrayed, yet I can't help but to feel I should be more heartbroken.

Don't get me wrong, my heart is broken. Just not for Carter.

Part of me even feels relieved that I had an excuse to call off the wedding. I really wasn't ready to marry him. I don't know if I would have ever been ready to marry him.

How could Kellin do that? Does he not care about me? And how could he lose his virginity? Does this mean he loves Carter? I'm so confused. I get Kellin has been acting differently lately but this is just not like him.

Jenna knocks again so I go to the door and pull it open. She's grinning happily at me so I guess she hasn't heard yet.

"Hey, I wanted to catch you before the honeymoon." she chirps.

"Yeah," I sigh. "not happening."

I turn around and walk back into the living room, Jenna following behind me.

"Vic, what happened?" Jenna asks softly as I sit back on the sofa.

She sits in the arm chair looking worried.

"I didn't get married." I shrug.

"Why?" she urges.

"Carter cheated on me." I whisper.

"What? With who?" She frowns, leaning forward and taking my hand.

A tear slides down my cheek but I will myself to not break down.

"With Kellin." I whimper.

Jenna just looks confused.

"What? That's ridiculous. Kellin wouldn't do that. You're wrong." she says disbelievingly.

"You'd think so. But he told me himself." I shrug.

Jenna then just looks more confused.

"No, I'm not going to believe that. That's bullshit." she says shaking her head.

"Carter didn't deny it either." I mutter.

More tears fall down my cheeks and I take a deep breath to stop myself from crying but it doesn't work.

"The love of my life betrayed me. And now I've lost him forever." I sob.

"Vic, you only knew him for a few months. You'll find someone else." Jenna sighs.

I shake my head and look up at her with teary eyes.

"I was talking about Kellin." I sniff.

Her face softens and she squeezes my hand.

"You love Kellin?"

"My whole life." I breathe admittedly. "It doesn't matter now anyway."

Jenna looks pained as she seems to rack her brain for an explanation as to why Kellin would do something so out of character.
