---- would turn around and call me controlling. And disappear on me right before our wedding. "Tf this goes on, I don't even want to go back and marry Leah," he had said. 'But when I proposed, weren't your eyes filled with tears when you said yes? While I spent a month searching for you-were you really that happy, Jayden?" I thought bitterly. "No regrets. Let's stay one more week. Our parents will cover for us anyway." 'No wonder your parents wouldn't let me call the police. No wonder they stayed so calm and insisted you'd show up. From beginning to end, I was the only one panicking.' "T don't want to go back and be manipulated by her. I'll show up when she's completely lost it." 'Jayden, I really did lose it. Do you know how long it's been since I last had a decent night's sleep? I even went to a fortune teller, hoping it would bring you back. And sure enough, you reappeared -but with another woman. So this is what it ---- means to be heartbroken.' I didn't want to keep watching them stare into each other's eyes with such affection. I turned and left without looking back. Once I got home, I pulled out a burlap sack and my suitcase. I packed up everything of Jayden's from the past six years and dumped them all by the door.
