18 And Ruined の小説・ストーリー

"You ruined everything for me once. I'm not letting you do it again." "I don't understand. What did I do?" "Middle school. You rejected me in front of everyone and laughed about it with your friends. Remember that?" Her face went pale. "Nate, I was twelve. We were kids." "My mom died that year," I said and my voice came out rough. "She died watching me fail everything because I was too messed up to care anymore. Because of you." Tears filled her eyes but I forced myself not to care. "I didn't know," she whispered. "Nate, I'm so sorry."

"But… Victoria doesn't seem to like me. She's upset that I wore her wedding dress, but I was really careful with it. I only tried it on for a photo—" Heartbroken, Zachary pulled some pieces of candy out of his bag and offered them to her. "Don't cry, Mary. She's just being unreasonable. You'll feel better after having something sweet. I brought this imported candy just for you." My heart sank as I watched him take out the candy and hand it over so naturally. Back when we were young and in love, I used to get dizzy from low blood sugar all the time. Sometimes, I'd just collapse out of nowhere while walking down the street.

I think he’s done talking about that but he whispers, “I’ll never truly be happy knowing what I did. I may have ruined your chance at happiness, Catherine. I should have given him a chance to talk. Both of you. I need to make it right.” The rest of his words fly over my head. My mind zeroes in on—ruin, echoing the word over and over again in my head that I fear it will explode. The only person who ruined anything was Mr Dissick. He ruined my life with his empty promises. “You didn’t ruin anything. You took me to the hospital, not him. You’ve been here for me every step of the way, not him. So, you didn’t ruin anything. And that’s that, Dad.”

he finally said “You’re not. When you’re done sulking, you’ll come back. You always do. The old me would have apologized by now I let the phone go dead and dropped my phone on the table and smiled. Two days later, I was back at the trust group, this time to finally get everything I need to wreck the company, I couldn’t wait to be done with it. The boardroom was tended when I walked in, Blake sat at the head of the table, Monique beside him, legs crossed, nails tapping against her tablet like she owned the place. Blake’s eyes flicked to me, irritation flashing briefly before he masked it.

Not even Zara. I tore it open, and the photo inside made the air vanish from my lungs. “My God…what the hell?” The whisper scraped out of me. This could not be happening. It was me. Me at 18 — standing in front of the rusted blue mailbox in the old neighborhood. Hair shorter. Eyes hollow. A smile that wasn’t real. A version of myself I buried like a corpse. I swore no one had this picture. I’d thrown every copy away. Burned one. Shredded another. Hidden the last where even memory couldn’t reach it.

We drifted off together, tangled up, refusing to let go despite the pain. I spent my eighteenth birthday wrecked, but it still ended exactly where I belonged. And no matter what, I'd make sure nothing like this happened again. Suki had crossed a line. There was no coming back from it.

"You ruined me..." My voice drops to a broken whisper. "You ruined me, Rafael."

Oh god, he is right. I ruined the only good thing in my life, myself.
