The Slap That Ended Us Chapter 12
Sometime after that, Sally and Fiona broke up. I never found out why.I heard Fiona left New Yiz after it ended. Sally, on the other hand, became a different person. He cut off his old circle entirely and started following me around with a single-minded devotion that bordered on obsession.Every morning, he would show up with my favorite strawberry juice and a strawberry muffin. Whenever he found out I was going out with friends, he would trail behind me at a careful distance, insisting he was there to keep me safe. It was like being kids again, except he was trying even harder than he ever did back then.I asked him what he was doing. He shook his head and just looked at me with those sad eyes, saying nothing for a long time. Finally, he said he only wanted to make it up to me, to take care of me properly.The truth was, he would not go away no matter what I said, and no one could talk him out of it. It was exhausting.Around the same time, Papa told me the Vitale family's oper

Sally looked like the ground had been ripped out from under him. His hands were shaking."That's not what happened! Gia, listen to me! I only said that because the guys were right there. I was just trying to look tough. I didn't mean it! I...""Don't. Denying it just makes you look pathetic, Sally."I looked at him and said quietly, "You're the one who always said talking about people behind their backs was wrong. Take a look at yourself. You're no better."Every last trace of color drained from Sally's face.I let out a long breath.It was strange. When I first overheard that conversation, I was furious and devastated. Now, standing here, I felt nothing at all, as if I was watching it happen to someone else."I know you liked me. But I also know there was a moment when you wavered. For just a second, you thought Fiona was great too, and you liked her enough that you wanted to show off in front of her."And that's normal, Sally. You liked me because we grew up together. I was p

My birthday was a week away. My parents were planning a party and told me to invite my friends.I did not want to invite Sally and his crowd, but they had been keeping their distance lately, and there was no reason to stir things up.The Vitale family and the Morelli family were still doing business together, and I could not let my personal feelings get in the way of that, so I sent out invitations to everyone equally.Matteo shamelessly asked me for one too.On the night of the party, I dressed up. Sally came as well, wearing a black suit with Fiona on his arm. Her makeup was flawless. The moment she saw me, she clung to Sally like they were glued together.Sally's face showed nothing.I did not bother greeting them and walked straight to my friends.The party was fun but draining. Halfway through, I slipped out to the terrace alone to catch my breath in the night air.Then, I heard footsteps behind me. I did not want to admit it, but after all those years, I could recognize t

After the party, Fiona cornered me in the parking lot. "We need to talk."She was not smiling this time. Her expression was dead serious.I was genuinely getting tired of this. What was it with these people today? It was just one after another, all of them wanting a piece of me.They were already together, and I had not interfered. We had nothing to do with each other. Why was one of them stopping me today and the other one wanting to 'talk' tomorrow?Fiona stared at me, her expression heavy.After a long silence, she said, "I really don't get it. What is it about you that makes him so hung up?"I nearly laughed. "You don't have to beat around the bush. Just say what you came to say."Her face twisted for a split second, and she glared at me with open resentment."Gia, you must be so proud of yourself. Sally's with me now, but you're still the one he thinks about. Ever since he found out you're seeing someone else, he's been on the verge of losing it. He hasn't even looked at m

We turned toward the sound. Sally had shattered a glass. His face was pale. It took him a long moment to react before he slowly crouched down to pick up the broken pieces from the floor.As he was picking them up, Fiona walked over and let out a gasp. "Sal! Your hand!"That was when I noticed. Sally's fingers had been cut by the glass. Bright red blood ran down his hand and dripped from his fingertips.He stared at his own hand, dazed, as if his mind was somewhere else entirely."Sal, I have tissues. Come here, let me wrap it up for you."Fiona reached for his hand, but Sally pulled away. In front of everyone, he walked toward me. The cut was deep, but he moved as though he could not feel it at all. A trail of blood dripped steadily onto the floor behind him.When he reached me, he looked at me and said quietly, "I'm hurt, Gia. Can I have a band-aid?"I looked at him in silence. I always carried band-aids on me. Sally knew that. He knew, because I started doing it for him.When

That morning, I woke up feeling a little off, but I did not think much of it and went out for my usual run.Halfway through, my vision suddenly went black. My arms and legs turned weak and numb, and I realized my blood sugar had dropped. However, it was already too late. My foot caught on itself, and I crumpled onto the track.A few people around me gasped. Within seconds, I heard footsteps rushing toward me, and a strong hand gripped my arm and pulled me to my feet.It was Sally."Is it your blood sugar again? Did you skip breakfast? You're out here running when your body's in this state. Can you take care of yourself for once? Are you hurt? I'm taking you to the clinic."He would not stop talking.I was already in a bad mood from the fall, and his nagging only made it worse. I pulled hard, trying to wrench my arm free. "Don't touch me. I can walk on my own."He growled under his breath. "Is this really the time to be stubborn with me? Can you worry about your own health for fi
