Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! No jokes
“What are you not telling me? I can see in your eyes that there’s something else. What other thing did you do with the money?”There’s silence for a long time, before he finally speaks.“I gambled some of it away.”“Huh? You did what?”“Listen, I have a problem, okay? I have a serious gambling addiction. I tried to stop, believe me, I tried, but I couldn’t. It got worse after your mother and I got divorced, and somehow, I never stopped after that.” He tells me, unable to look me in the eye.“Hmmm…” I say, wondering why he feels the need to unburden himself to me, as if I care.“Yeah. Anyway, I thought you should know.”“Well, how’s any of this supposed to be my business? It’s your money. You can do whatever the hell you like with it. All that concerns me is my trust fund. You gave Amelia one hundred and fifty million after she got married, and told me that I was going to get mine as well after I got married. That money should still be intact, right?” I ask him, but I'm met with silenc
Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! More company
At first, I’m certain that my dad is playing a cruel joke on me, but as the seconds pass by and he keeps staring at me with that helpless, tired look, it dawns on me that he’s in fact not joking.Once this realization hits, I burst out laughing out loud. If I don’t laugh, then I'm going to cry. The both of them do not say anything during my laughing spree, or try to stop me. They just let me go on and on.“You’re serious. You’re really broke.” I say when I'm done laughing.“Yes, I am, honey. I really wish it were a joke, but it isn’t. I’m sorry I kept it from you for so long, but it is better late than never. Naturally, there are going to have to be several big adjustments in our lifestyle … bigger ones than the ones we made several months back, I’m afraid.”Before I can think of what to say next, we hear voices and greetings coming from the entrance of the house, and a minute or so later, my step sister, Amelia, comes in. I didn’t know she was coming. If I had known she would come,
Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! Family meeting
Diane’s POVEvery time I get an instinct, I always make sure to trust it. My instinct has never failed me, and I don’t think it’s about to start failing me now.I lie back and try to enjoy the massage I'm currently getting at my favorite spa, but today, my mood is ruined, and try as I might, I can't bring myself to enjoy it.“Ouch! Watch it, you buffoon! Do you want to break my spine in two? In fact, stop touching me. I'm done for today.” I tell the masseuse angrily, getting up and putting on my clothes, while ignoring her frantic pleas and apologies.While it’s not her fault that I'm pissed, I need an outlet for my anger, and she’s right there, so of course, she's going to be the outlet for it.That Lucy woman is taking me for a fool. She’s a bloody liar and I can see right through her bullshit. Each time I think about her, my mood darkens.Why the fuck is she following Nathan everywhere like a goddamned puppy? And why the fuck is he allowing himself to be followed? Because something
Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! Awkward silence
Lucy’s POV The three of them come to a halt as they get to us, and there ensues an extremely awkward silence, which is thick with tension. Lucas is the first to break the silence by talking to me.“Hello, Diane. Fancy running into you here. What are you doing here?”“My friend is very sick. I brought her to the hospital.”“Ah, I see. I'm sorry to hear about your friend.”“Lucy, this is my sister, Doris. Doris, this is Lucy. She works in my company.” Nathan introduces his sister and me to each other.“Hello, Lucy, it’s nice to meet you. I assure you that I don’t always look like this, but I'm currently going through a rough patch. Hopefully, when next we meet, you’ll see me in all my glory.” Doris tells me, smiling self-deprecatingly.I return the smile and tell her it is nice to meet her as well. Even though I’ve only heard her speak a few words, I can immediately see what my brother meant when he said that she's one of the nicest people he knows.Despite how banged up she’s looking,
Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! An unlikely meeting
“Doris? Doris is here? What’s wrong with her?” Asher asks worriedly.For the first time since I’ve known him, every sign of playfulness is gone from his expressive face, and is now replaced by grave concern.I can sense Nathan’s reluctance to answer the question. He looks a little embarrassed, which is weird because there’s no reason why he should be embarrassed that his sister needs treatment.“She was beaten up pretty badly.” He says at last.“Beaten up? What the fuck? Who on earth would beat up Doris of all people? She’s the calmest and kindest person I know. Was it a robbery or something? Please tell me that it was!” Asher exclaims, but his tone says that he knows it wasn't.“Asher, calm down. No, it wasn’t a robbery. That bastard, Steven, was the one who did it. The police have been searching for him, but they haven’t found him yet.”Asher doesn’t look surprised, but he does look extremely furious. I have no idea who this Steven person they’re talking about is, but one thing I kn
Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! Terrified
Lucy’s POV I have never liked hospitals, but to be fair, I don't think anybody likes them. According to what I've been told, I spent almost six months in one, after I was found swaddled in a cardboard.Naturally, I don't remember that time, but I do remember when Amanda was hospitalized for a long time because she needed a heart transplant.That had been one of the scariest times of my life, as there was the possibility that I was going to lose the one person whom I loved most in the world.However, my fear of hospitals is the last thing on my mind as I pace up and down the hospital hallways, waiting for an update on Amanda. Suddenly, my phone starts ringing, and when I check it, I see that it’s my mom who’s calling. It is then that I realize that in my panic, I forgot to update her that I'm going to come back home very late. “Hello, Mom.”“Honey, where are you? I hope there’s no problem?" Her voice sounds worried.“I’m so sorry, Mom. I meant to inform you guys, but somehow, I got c
Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! The fight
Austin’s POV“I think we should get married.”The words hit me like a ton of bricks, and I stare at Amy incredulously, wondering if she’s lost her mind.Get married? To her? That has to be the funniest joke of the century.As far as I'm concerned, we’re only fucking, and while I'm glad that she’s going to give me a baby, I sure as hell have no desire to be married to her, so what the fuck is she talking about?I just got out of a marriage, which ended because Amy was feeling spiteful and jealous of my wife, for crying out loud. The last thing I need is to jump headfirst into another marriage.“I’m not interested in getting married … not now, not anytime soon,” I tell her flippantly, and watch as her eyes become fiery orbs of anger.Nothing new there. Everything seems to annoy her nowadays. I don’t know if it’s the hormones from her pregnancy that’s causing it, or if she just gets easily irritated.Even my mom has been complaining about how rude Amy is to her. There’s no way I'm going
Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! Reunion
Lucy’s POVMemories from the past flash in my head as I make the drive down to the airport to pick up my friend, Amanda.They're not good memories, but they remind me of how Amanda has always had my back since I can remember, and how she's the closest thing I have to a sister.The memories range from ones of Amanda and me, hiding away from the mean girls who were hell-bent on making our lives pure hell in the orphanage, to ones of her protecting me with her body, and taking most of the beating that was meant for me, because I was the smaller, weaker one.She had always been the stronger one of the two of us, even though back then, she was no more than a child herself, and it remained that way until we grew up and parted ways when it was time for us to go to college.The panicked, broken, and scared voice I heard on the phone this morning though, sounds nothing like the strong, self-assured voice I'm used to, and it breaks my heart to bits.Something is wrong with my friend. I have to
Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell! Cold
Nathan’s POVEven though I had no idea that my sister was being physically abused by her husband, because she kept this information from me and our parents, I can't stop inwardly berating myself for not somehow figuring it out, and coming to her aid sooner.Naturally, she’s devastated to learn about the loss of her baby, and while I feel sad for her, I’m also relieved. It's probably callous of me to feel that way, but at least, this way, there won't be anything linking her to her abuser, so the likelihood that she will go back to him after all this will be reduced. The police still haven’t found Steven, and neither have we heard from him, which is for the best. After spending exactly a week away from work - I took a few days off after I got back - I finally resume back to work.Everyone is glad to see me, as I am to see them. I'm especially eager to see Lucy. She hasn't been with us for long, but she's fast becoming my favorite person at work, so I stop by her desk to say hello.As
