At last, it was our turn to ride the Ferris wheel.Each gondola could hold only four people.Elliot Walker grabbed Suzanna Jones and hurried inside, and the two of them sat side by side on one bench.I took the seats across from them, next to a heavyset middle-aged woman. Her arm was pressed tightly against mine, and her fingers kept brushing against my leg as if by accident.I squeezed my legs together and shifted closer to the window, then looked at Suzanna for help."Suzanna, I..."Could we switch seats?I did not get to finish. She shushed me with a frown."Elliot's filming. Can you please stop talking? You're ruining the mood."The annoyed look on her face made my heart sink.The woman beside me smiled, showing a row of yellowed teeth. The sweat from her palm rubbed against my thigh, hot, damp, and sticky. My scalp prickled. All I could do was stare at the ground slowly shrinking beneath us and pray the ride would end soon.When the gondola reached the very top, i

"I…"Before I could finish, she wrapped an arm around Elliot and hurried past me."Elliot hurt his ankle when he hugged me. I'm taking him back to his room to rest."She did not even notice the bandage wrapped around my foot.My injury was clearly worse, yet all she could see was Elliot's twisted ankle.I dragged my throbbing foot along behind them.When we opened the door, Suzanna stopped short at the sight of the room. She turned to me, her face darkening."Shane, seriously?"Just because Elliot and I took some pictures, you had to trash the whole room?"Are you doing this on purpose just to make him feel bad?"Elliot quickly cut in."You've got it all wrong, Suzanna. I did it by accident.""Don't defend him." Suzanna paused, and some of the tension left her face. "I'm sorry. I jumped to the wrong conclusion."However, it's a mess in here, and there are broken pieces of glass on the floor. You can't stay here tonight."Elliot, you can sleep in my room tonight."She hel

Early the next morning, Suzanna was jolted awake by her phone.The screen was painfully bright. Message after message flooded in, burying all her social media accounts under a mountain of notifications.Dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread messages.[What the hell is going on? Who is your boyfriend?][Suzanna, you've been playing both sides? How could you do this to them?][I can't believe I ever thought you were a good person. You look so innocent, but what you did is disgusting.][Was everything between you and Elliot just part of the , or were you actually cheating?][Poor Shane. You two have been treating him like this for so long…]Suzanna frowned and opened a link one of her friends had sent her.The video did not show my face. However, my voice was clear and steady. It was a little hoarse, but not once did I stumble over a word."Hi, everyone. My name is Shane Carter. I've been Suzanna's boyfriend for the past four years of college, and I'm also Elliot's so-ca

The sky stretched endlessly above her, and the ocean seemed to have no end. Now that I was gone, I could go anywhere I wanted, leaving everything behind and starting over somewhere far away.Desperate to find me, Suzanna tracked down the classmates who knew me well, hoping they could tell her where my hometown was. However, no matter who she asked, no one was willing to tell her.She kept leaving comments under my video, hoping I would reply even once. However, her messages disappeared beneath the flood of comments from everyone else. Several of the top comments came from guys apologizing to me.That night, they had been misled by what Elliot had posted in his fan group. They had believed I was the one who had come between Elliot and Suzanna. They had insulted me to my face and even attacked me.Now they were full of regret. They wanted to apologize and offered to cover all my medical expenses and compensate me for the emotional distress they had caused.Suzanna remembered

Suddenly, Suzanna lifted her head. Her eyes were bloodshot, but there was a desperate flicker of hope in them."Shane, if you just come back to me, if you can forgive me, everything will be okay."I regret it so much. From the very beginning, I never should have gotten involved with Elliot, that liar."Shane, please. Just give me one last chance. I'm begging you. I'll do anything. Just say yes."Tears filled her eyes as she pleaded with me. I looked straight into her eyes without feeling a thing."No. Why should someone who betrayed a person who truly loved them get to turn around and be forgiven?"Suzanna, you were selfish. You were cold. You couldn't choose between two people. You don't deserve to be loved."I won't forgive you, but I won't hate you either. You're not worth either one."My life is too precious to waste. I only give my love and my hatred to people who deserve them."She trembled. It was as if my coldness had struck her like an arrow.Her head dropped, and sh
