However, the two most important men in my life had chosen to abandon me on a day as important as my wedding. The bouquet in my hands wilted, and the guests continued to murmur. "Goodness! The groom disappeared halfway through the wedding ceremony!" "Why did the bride's brother also leave?" "What did the bride do for the groom to run away mid-ceremony?" "No idea, but it clearly must be something shameful…" All sorts of judgmental and mocking voices threatened to drown me. My brother and my boyfriend—two people who had once promised to be my safe harbor—had disappeared. Even after the sun had set and all the guests had left, they still hadn't returned.

Under the ancient tree, we were just young wolves who had exchanged vows of lifelong love, enveloped in the pure moonlight and the scent of one another. Time passed since then, and what was lost could never be gained back. I held the withered blade in my palm. A sudden breeze through the car window caught it and blew it away. Kane and Sean leaned in close, huddling next to me.

He utters. The audacity! How could he tell me that no man will wanna wang me if I Divorce me! I pushed his hands away from me and continued walking away and made my way to the other side of the venue. NO MAN WILL WANT ME… Huh. Someone like Cale tells me otherwise.

Yet, her eyes still harbored despair and remorse. … Three months later, a huge wave of zombies started attacking the base. Dad brought the stronger fighters from the base and got ready for war. Just before he left, I held his hand tightly and refused to let go of him. In my past life, this was the very war that had killed him. I frowned and said, "Dad, you must be careful out there. Maybe I should just come along with you!"

I just didn't want others to see my weakness. Now that I was no longer alive, the grief that had long simmered in my chest finally overflowed. As soon as Mom got home, her phone rang. When she heard the doctor say I had passed away, she snapped, "That's impossible! He was only diagnosed with a minor illness. With so many skilled doctors at the hospital, how could he possibly be dead?
