00:16had grown up together i'd been in love with him since we were kids i followed him around like a

00:29why just because of one slap yes just because of one slap the second his hand connected with my face
00:39a sudden metallic taste of blood flooded my mouth after the sharp echoing crack of the slap the
00:45entire ballroom fell dead silent the left side of my face went numb then it burst into a burning pain
00:52i looked up at him my fiancee caleb westbrook all because i caught natalie hawthorne trying

01:04even caleb looks stunned by what he'd done enough vanessa stop making a scene
01:11the ceremony's starting can you just be reasonable for once natalie stood right beside him biting her
01:18lip her eyes turning glossy and red oh my god caleb don't it's my fault i shouldn't have tried it

01:45they all surged up at once lodging themselves in my throat tears burned in my eyes but i refused to
01:51let them fall in front of all the guests i slid the diamond ring off my finger then turned around
01:58and
01:58walked away i was done explaining myself and i sure wasn't staying there to be humiliated in front of
02:06everyone honestly caleb had never been prince charming but that was the first time he hit me more than that
02:13in my entire 25 years of life that was the first time anyone had ever struck me caleb and i
02:21went way
02:21back his grandpa walter and my grandpa served in the army together we grew up in the same neighborhood
02:27literally next door neighbors i had been in love with him since i was a little girl when i was
02:33five a boy
02:34at the playground snatched my toys he pulled my hair dumped bugs straight into my backpack i ran crying to
02:40my mother eleanor she went to confront the boy's parents but they just brushed it off as kids will
02:46be kids grandpa walter was having dinner at our house that night when he heard what happened
02:50he called caleb over he told him to watch my back out there from now on caleb was two years
02:56older than
02:57me when he heard i'd been bullied he caught that boy by the playground slide pinned him to the dirt
03:02and
03:02beat him up caleb had always been big for his age he had this mean untouchable edge to him
03:08by the time he was done that boy and his two friends were bawling their eyes out anyone touches
03:15vanessa they deal with me that was the exact moment i fell for him from that day on i became
03:23his shadow
03:24i followed him every single day wherever he went i was right behind him caleb hated it at first but
03:32i
03:32never stopped trailing after him eventually he got used to it and stopped telling me to leave he would
03:37carry my backpack tilt the umbrella toward me when it rained and whenever i called his name he'd turn
03:43around right away at my 18th birthday party walter joked around well if these two are this and separated
03:50maybe we should just make it official one day i saw his ears turn red and i'm marrying caleb
03:59but six years ago everything shattered that fall natalie hawthorne arrived she was the daughter of his
04:07mother's friend she had just moved back from london and was staying at his house temporarily she was
04:12gorgeous with perfect natural curls and a soft breathy accent the very first day she moved in caleb brought
04:20her along to pick me up from campus oh my god so this is your little sister vanessa she's so
04:27cute
04:28literally covered in pink wait how old are you again you're in college right you still dress like
04:34a little girl and no one's ever said anything my face instantly burned red i loved pink i was obsessed
04:41with it my clothes my tumblr my hair clips my jewelry my phone case even my fingernails were pink
04:49people had teased me for it plenty of times but no one had ever talked down to me like that
04:55before
04:55with such fake over the top pity my face burned i just stood there completely tongue-tied relax
05:03i'm just super blunt don't tell me i offended the princess already seeing my reaction natalie just
05:10smiled and winked all right that's enough caleb cut through the tension impatiently i turned around
05:16he was staring at natalie brows drawn tight clearly annoyed ooh the princess knight in shining armor
05:24what i can't even make a joke seriously what's your problem that night caleb told our parents what
05:31happened diana smoothed it over immediately she told natalie to lay off the jokes and she pushed caleb to
05:37take us both out on weekends so we could bond from that day on natalie was always around i didn't
05:44know
05:45exactly when she and caleb got so close every afternoon caleb used to bring me a strawberry
05:50milkshake after class but one day he handed me an iced americano i barely drink coffee you know that
05:57i stared at the iced coffee my chest tightening come on you only like the milkshake because it's pink
06:04that stuff's basically melted sugar try drinking something healthier across from him natalie lifted an
06:10identical iced americano oops sorry shortcake i was craving coffee so i told caleb to grab these
06:17but honestly milkshakes are kind of a lot do girls like you seriously drink that stuff every day
06:26do you always give people nicknames for a second she froze then came the wounded expression why are you
06:33making it such a big deal i was joking you're being way too sensitive don't you think am i sensitive
06:41or did you do it on purpose enough vanessa caleb cut in sharply she just moved here sometimes she speaks
06:48without thinking stop taking it so personally my blood was boiling then maybe she should think before she
06:58talk hey hey hey all right my bad how about this tomorrow i'll get you avanta strawberry milkshake
07:07deal my little princess hearing that natalie's smile disappeared she stared dead at me
07:15from that day on natalie actively targeted me whenever i pulled out a pink pack of tissues
07:22she would gasp dramatically wow even your tissues are pink what are you trying to turn yourself into
07:29barbie at dinner whenever i wiped down my silverware before evening there it is princess mode activated
07:37during summer break i was hauling suitcases down from my dorm the princess can't carry her own luggage
07:45someone get this girl a night every single time she did this her friends would crack up
07:52at first caleb actually stepped in he would tell her to knock it off relax i'm kidding vanessa's too guarded
08:03i'm helping her loosen up and actually bond with people she's a bit high maintenance is that just a
08:11girl thing natalie punched his shoulder playfully hey caleb don't lump me in with those girls
08:16i'm definitely not like them caleb laughed it was such a gentle smile my chest tightened with a sour
08:25ache i always knew he thought i was spoiled and through little tantrums maybe to guys like him liking
08:32pink hating germs and not being physically strong just meant you were a high maintenance princess but finally i
08:41snapped it was a friend's birthday party i wore a fitted pink button down over a white cami to the
08:47club
08:48when natalie saw me she practically shrieked
08:51oh my god vanessa are you serious right now pink with a white cami what's this a teen drama no
09:00seriously i'm dying do you think you're the main character look at you you look like what's the word
09:09one of those girls crying way too hard to look cute like a barbie doll that wandered onto the wrong
09:15set hilarious she cracked up with a few guys who'd been mocking me since we were kids even caleb seemed
09:23genuinely amused the corner of his mouth twitched a tidal wave of humiliation and shame swallowed me
09:30alive while they were laughing i grabbed my glass and tossed my drink right into her face natalie gasped
09:37wiping furiously at her wet face her makeup melted black mascara completely streaked down her cheeks
09:44she coughed violently what the hell is wrong with you are you insane oh my god i mocked her tone
09:53perfectly look at your heavy contour fake lashes and that dress that barely covers your ass
09:57what are you a hooker some trashy little club princess caleb scowled and stepped between us
10:03he yanked the glass right out of my hand vanessa apologize he looked down at me his brow furrowed
10:11my eyes burned as i stared dead at him didn't you hear what she said to me she mocked me
10:17first that's
10:18not the point you already insulted her back now apologize for throwing the drink when you do something
10:24wrong you own it stop acting like a child he said it with such casual authority just say sorry
10:32she won't hold it against you off vanessa what's gotten into you you leave for college and suddenly
10:40this is how you talk apologize right now i scoffed turned on my heel and walked straight out of the
10:47club
10:47three days later caleb showed up he brought my favorite strawberry milkshake to campus
10:52it had pink whipped cream on top with my favorite flamingo straw sticking out of it
10:57he stood below the balcony of my dorm building vanessa come down i owe you an apology i stood on
11:05the balcony looking down at him the wind made my eyes sting i went downstairs and took the shake from
11:11him i took a sip it was sweet but my chest still felt tight and heavy do you actually think
11:17i'm spoiled
11:18petty and making a big deal out of nothing he fell silent for a long time natalie's just blunt she
11:24doesn't mean any harm just let it go you take everything way too personally vanessa that's
11:30probably why you have no friends the milkshake sat heavy in my throat i couldn't swallow it couldn't
11:36spit it out so that was it no matter how badly i was hurt i was always the petty one
11:41with caleb always
11:43too sensitive too dramatic from that day on our relationship just went on autopilot we were together
11:49but something between us had gone cold after we finished grad school our parents started bringing
11:55up marriage more and more they thought it was time we settled down caleb didn't object so the wedding
12:02was set for my 25th birthday on the big day natalie was already standing in the bridal suite wearing my
12:08wedding dress she said she just wanted to see how it looked on her i let out a disbelieving laugh
12:14she glanced at the red reception dress i had just changed into wrinkled her nose honestly red is
12:21definitely not your color vanessa it looks hideous on you take it off if you want to try on a
12:27wedding
12:27dress so badly go rent one that one is mine but she just did a little twirl in front of
12:33me oh come on
12:34you've already worn it for the ceremony caleb said he didn't mind why are you being so possessive
12:41that was it i reached out and grabbed the fabric it's my wedding dress give it back as we struggled
12:48her foot caught on something she tripped and fell hard onto the floor her carefully styled hair tumbled
12:55into a messy heap at that exact moment the door flew open caleb rushed in his eyes landed on natalie
13:02and without a single second of hesitation he raised his hand and slapped me straight across
13:09the face it was raining when i walked out of the ballroom a brutal august storm heavy drops smashed
13:16against the pavement i walked step by step into the freezing rain still wearing that red reception
13:23dress natalie had just mocked behind me my mother's voice tore through the storm vanessa vanessa come back
13:32oh for god's sake what is wrong with her throwing a tantrum throwing a tantrum at her own wedding
13:39this is so embarrassing i didn't look back my heel caught in a puddle my ankle twisted and i nearly
13:46fell
13:46so i yanked off both heels walked barefoot on the soaking wet pavement the muddy water was freezing and
13:54filthy but i couldn't care less when i walked past the main gates the hotel security guards stared at
14:00me like i'd lost my mind well a barefoot bride walking into a thunderstorm i probably did look insane
14:08my phone buzzed non-stop in my purse i pulled it out dozens of texts from relatives and friends
14:15what happened is everything okay why did you leave i powered the phone off and flagged down a cab
14:22the driver hesitated when he saw me dripping wet but eventually unlocked the doors where to i gave him
14:29an address an old apartment i shared with a friend back in college she had moved to san francisco but
14:35she kept the lease and left me a spare key the ride took 40 minutes i shivered the entire way
14:41i wasn't
14:42sure if it was from the cold or something else when i arrived i dug through my soaked purse i
14:48only had
14:48two hundred dollars in cash and a debit card my phone was completely dead my phone buzzed non-stop
14:56in my purse i pulled it out dozens of texts from relatives and friends what happened is everything
15:03okay why did you leave i powered the phone off and flagged down a cab the driver hesitated when he
15:10saw
15:10me dripping wet but eventually unlocked the doors where to i gave him an address an old apartment i
15:17shared with a friend back in college she had moved to san francisco but she kept the lease and left
15:22me a
15:23spare key the ride took 40 minutes i shivered the entire way i wasn't sure if it was from the
15:29cold or
15:30something else when i arrived i dug through my soaked purse i only had two hundred dollars in cash and
15:37a
15:37debit card my phone was completely dead i climbed the stairs and unlocked the door the apartment was
15:45dead empty just a bare mattress and a single folding chair i peeled off the heavy soaked dress crawled
15:54into an old blanket she had left behind curling into a tight ball finally the tears started falling it
16:02wasn't even heartbreak anymore it wasn't anger either it was just a suffocating emptiness i'd loved
16:10caleb for almost my entire life when i was five he beat up the boys who bullied me i thought
16:17he was
16:17the bravest person in the world when i was eight i scraped my me he crouched down and put a
16:23band-aid on it
16:24his hands had been clumsy but so careful when i was 15 i bombed a test he stayed on the
16:32phone
16:32with me for hours saying it's one test vanessa you'll be fine when i was 18 i got accepted into
16:40college he bought me a pink crystal bracelet my little princess finally grew up
16:47but when did everything change was it the day natalie showed up or was it even earlier than that
16:55maybe he'd never loved me maybe i was just a needy friend he had to look after a shadow he
17:01just couldn't
17:02shake off he treated me well not out of love but out of habit he was used to me following
17:10him around
17:11used to my clinginess but natalie was different she was independent fiercely opinionated and bluntly
17:19outspoken she didn't need him to act as her knight in shining armor she even challenged him to caleb
17:26maybe that was a mature equal relationship not a childish high maintenance princess who needed
17:32constant coddling those thoughts spiraled until i eventually passed out from exhaustion in my dreams
17:39i was five years old again after he finished beating up those boys he turned his head and looked at
17:46me
17:46sunlight hit his face anyone touches vanessa they deal with me but the very next second the dream
17:54shifted he was standing in the grand ballroom staring at me with an ice cold face before slapping
18:01me across the cheek i jolted awake sweat slicked my skin the storm had passed the sky was starting to
18:09turn pale i plugged in my phone powered it on it vibrated for three straight minutes flooded with
18:17messages most were from my mother starting from a panicked vanessa where are you to please answer me
18:26and finally do you have any idea what this has done to both families then there were a few texts
18:34from
18:34caleb where are you vanessa are you done with this yet pick up the very last one was sent at
18:422am
18:44just one line are you happy now i stared at that text a bitter laugh escaped my lips he slapped
18:52me across
18:53the face and now he actually had the guts to text me are you happy now just like always to
19:01him this was
19:02totally my fault i was being unreasonable i ruined our perfect wedding i didn't reply to anyone i opened
19:11door dash and ordered some hot chicken soup the buzzer sounded i assumed it was the chicken soup
19:18i pulled open the door but it wasn't the delivery guy it was caleb he was still wearing the same
19:24gray
19:25wedding suit dark circles bruised the skin beneath his eyes like he hadn't slept all night he took one
19:32look at my pale face and froze i knew exactly how pathetic i looked i was drowning in a baggy
19:40old t-shirt
19:41someone left behind and i still had the faint red handprint on my left cheek he stared at me for
19:48a few
19:48seconds his throat bobbed you stayed here last night i didn't answer him just turned and walked
19:54back inside he followed me inside scanning the completely bare room his brows drawing together
20:01you're staying here you're staying here there's not even a bed none of your business i sat down on
20:06the mattress picked up a cup and took a sip of water he walked over and towered above me looking
20:12down
20:14come home let's finish the wedding we can pretend yesterday never happened i slowly looked up at him
20:23his face was so incredibly calm caleb do you honestly think i can't live without you
20:31what i said i'm not marrying you we're done his brow furrowed into a tight knot
20:40Vanessa do you even hear yourself i do i'm perfectly clear why just because of one slap
20:49i didn't mean it given the situation what situation you saw natalie on the floor and you hit me
20:59you didn't ask why you didn't ask what she did to me you didn't even give me a chance to
21:04explain you just
21:05hit me do you even know what she did she wore my wedding dress on my wedding day she put
21:15it on
21:15without my permission i told her to take it off and she refused we argued i tried to pull it
21:22off her
21:23then you walked in and you hit me for no reason
21:28tell me caleb what did i do wrong she'd never worn one before she was just curious did you really
21:35have
21:35to make such a huge deal out of it did you really have to hit me
21:42caleb i chased you for 20 years i loved you for 20 years i've been your loyal shadow for 20
21:50years i
21:51thought you were just bad at expressing yourself i thought you loved me and didn't know how to say
21:57it but that slap yesterday finally woke me up you never loved me you got used to me i'm just
22:05an
22:05accessory to you someone you could snap your fingers at whenever it suited you but natalie
22:11you'll back her up in public you'll hit me for her because deep down caleb she is more important

22:26let
22:26out a bitter laugh get out i already threw the ring away the wedding is cancelled i'll deal with
22:34our families and the fallout from now on we're completely done don't ever reach out to me again
22:41he didn't move he stood there for a long time finally he muttered cool off for a few days
22:48i'll come back when you've calmed down then he turned around and walked out the second the door
22:54shut my legs gave out i sank to the floor burying my face in my arms i was the one
23:01who initiated the
23:02breakup who cancelled the wedding but why why did my chest still hurt this much for the next three days
23:11i locked myself in that empty apartment ignored every call my mother was losing it she texted me
23:19that she and my father were already on their way i just replied i'm fine please don't come on the
23:26third
23:26afternoon the doorbell rang i checked the peephole it was her with no choice left i opened the door
23:33when she stepped inside her eyes welled up with tears oh sweetheart you've lost so much weight
23:41you look so pale have you even eaten anything as she scolded me she started pulling thermoses out of
23:49her tote bag i know you're hurting i know what happened humiliated you but starving yourself won't fix it
23:58my nose stung tears threatened again my father stood in the doorway his face was dangerously grim
