I Was His Wingman, Never His Man
I've been in a secret relationship with Ian Bradford for five years.
Ian is the captain of the Yorkson Bears hockey team and one of the league's biggest star players. I, on the other hand, am always his Left Wing who sets up goals for him from the shadows.
On my 24th birthday, he gets married to Katie Terrell, the captain of the cheerleading squad.
Even when faced with my silent accusatory stare, Ian seems completely unconcerned.
He says, "Katie has cancer. She only has one month left to live. This is her only wish. I can't let her leave this world with regrets."
Katie leans against his shoulder, taunting me blatantly with her eyes.
The birthday party that is originally planned for me becomes their wedding celebration instead. My teammates and my brother, Cale Manning, take turns offering their congratulations.
When it's my turn, I remain expressionless.
Ignoring the warning look in Ian's eyes, I calmly raise my glass and say, "Congratulations on your marriage. May you stay together forever."
