Chapter 29: Moved On
TRIGGER WARNING: Slur used
Immediately Brooke was out of the door, Brandon got his keys and sped out of the house and down the highway without realizing that Brooke’s shiny red convertible was following a couple of cars behind him. His mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Anger, frustration, and a deep sense of betrayal which threatened to swallow him while.
When he had received the news that Lyse, the woman he had once loved, had gotten married from Brooke he had been filled with a dread that it was true. Brooke’s confident smirk told him that it was probably true but he did not want to believe it, he refused to believe it!
He could not believe that after all he had put her through, she had just moved on without a single thought about him. And not just moved on, but married. It was a slap in the face, a public humiliation to him.
"Nahh, it can’t be, Brooke must be lying." He murmured to himself.
He knew how much Brooke despised Lyse so he knew that she was capable of cooking up an elaborate lie just so that he would stop thinking of Lyse but he simply refused to accept it.
Lyse was not that kind of person, she was loyal, sweet and much too tame to have cheated on him so where would she have gotten someone to marry in such a short time?
He had to see for himself and actually know what was going on. And what was this about Lyse being in the hospital after having an accident, why had he not been informed after all he was her emergency contact.
He frowned at the thought that she had removed him as her emergency contact, he could not believe that she was already discarding him after having loved him since they were teenagers.
As he pulled into the hospital parking lot, his heart pounded in his chest. He had to see her, to confront her. He needed to know if she was really married to someone and why she had done this to him.
He stormed into the hospital, his eyes scanning the waiting room. Then his eyes locked on her in the midst of people walking past the reception and out the front door. She was more beautiful than ever, her face radiating happiness despite the plaster on her head.
