00:17had grown up together i'd been in love with him since we were kids i followed him around like a
00:22shadow for 20 whole years but this time i was dead serious later when he finally tracked me down
00:29why just because of one slap yes just because of one slap the second his hand connected with my
00:38face a sudden metallic taste of blood flooded my mouth after the sharp echoing crack of the slap
00:45the entire ballroom fell dead silent the left side of my face went numb then it burst into a burning
00:51pain i looked up at him my fiancee caleb westbrook all because i caught natalie hawthorne trying on
00:59my wedding dress without permission all because i refused to let her be my bridesmaid even caleb
01:05looked stunned by what he'd done enough vanessa stop making a scene the ceremony's starting can you
01:14just be reasonable for once natalie stood right beside him biting her lip her eyes turning glossy
01:20and red oh my god caleb don't it's my fault i shouldn't have tried it on without asking i just
01:26loved it so much i'm so sorry i didn't mean it just step down as your bridesmaid please can you

01:39guests waiting out there this is not the place for your tantrums humiliation hurt fury they all surged
01:46up at once lodging themselves in my throat tears burned in my eyes but i refused to let them fall
01:52in front of all the guests i slid the diamond ring off my finger then turned around and walked away
02:01i was done explaining myself and i sure wasn't staying there to be humiliated in front of everyone
02:07honestly 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
02:33a boy at the playground snatched my toys he pulled my hair dumped bugs straight into my backpack i ran
02:40crying
02:40to my 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 he called
02:52caleb over he told him to watch my back out there from now on caleb was two years older than
02:57me when he
02:58heard i'd been bullied he caught that boy by the playground slide pinned him to the dirt and beat him
03:03up caleb had always been big for his age he had this mean untouchable edge to him by the time
03:09he was
03:10done that boy and his two friends were bawling their eyes out anyone touches vanessa they deal with me
03:18that was the exact moment i fell for him from that day on i became his shadow i followed him
03:25every single
03:26day wherever he went i was right behind him caleb hated it at first but i never stopped trailing
03:33after him eventually he got used to it and stopped telling me to leave he would carry my backpack tilt
03:39the umbrella toward me when it rained and whenever i called his name he'd turn around right away at my
03:4518th birthday party walter joked around well if these two are this inseparated maybe we should just
03:51make 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
04:20brought her along to pick me up from campus oh my god so this is your little sister vanessa
04:26she's so cute literally covered in pink wait how old are you again you're in college right you still
04:34dress like a little girl and no one's ever said anything my face instantly burned red i loved pink
04:40i was obsessed with it my clothes my tumbler my hair clips my jewelry my phone case even my fingernails
04:49were pink people had teased me for it plenty of times but no one had ever talked down to me
04:54like
04:55that before with such fake over the top pity my face burned i just stood there completely tongue-tied
05:03relax i'm just super blunt don't tell me i offended the princess already seeing my reaction natalie just
05:11smiled and winked all right that's enough caleb cut through the tension impatiently i turned around
05:17he was staring at natalie brows drawn tight clearly annoyed ooh the princess knight in shining armor
05:25what 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
05:37caleb to take us both out on weekends so we could bond from that day on natalie was always around
05:44i didn't
05:45know exactly 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
06:11identical iced americano oops sorry shortcake i was craving coffee so i told caleb to grab these
06:18but honestly milkshakes are kind of a lot do girls like you seriously drink that stuff every day
06:27do you always give people nicknames for a second she froze then came the wounded expression why are you
06:34making 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
06:58let me talk hey hey hey all right my bad how about this tomorrow i'll get you a vanta strawberry
07:07milkshake deal
07:09my little princess hearing that natalie's smile disappeared she stared dead at me
07:16from 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
07:38during summer break i was hauling suitcases down from my dorm oh 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
08:08she's a bit high maintenance
08:10is that just a girl thing natalie punched his shoulder playfully hey caleb don't lump me in with
08:16those girls i'm definitely not like them caleb laughed it was such a gentle smile my chest tightened
08:24with a sour ache i always knew he thought i was spoiled and through little tantrums maybe to guys like
08:31him
08:32liking pink hating germs and not being physically strong just meant you were a high maintenance princess
08:39but finally i snapped it was a friend's birthday party i wore a fitted pink button down over a
08:46white cami to the club when natalie saw me she practically shrieked oh my god
08:55vanessa are you serious right now pink with a white cami what's this a teen drama no seriously i'm dying
09:02do you think you're the main character look at you you look like what's the word one of those girls
09:10crying way too hard to look cute like a barbie doll that wandered onto the wrong set hilarious
09:17she cracked up with a few guys who'd been mocking me since we were kids even caleb seemed genuinely
09:24amused the corner of his mouth twitched a tidal wave of humiliation and shame swallowed me alive
09:31while they were laughing i grabbed my glass and tossed my drink right into her face natalie gasped
09:38wiping 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
09:58what 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 fuck off vanessa what's gotten into you you leave for college and
10:40suddenly this is how you talk apologize right now i scoffed turned on my heel and walked straight out
10:47of the club three 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 he stood below the
10:58balcony of my dorm building vanessa come down i owe you an apology i stood on the balcony looking down
11:06at him the wind made my eyes sting i went downstairs and took the shake from him i took a
11:12sip it was sweet
11:13but my chest still felt tight and heavy do you actually think i'm spoiled petty and making a big
11:19out of nothing he fell silent for a long time natalie's just blunt she doesn't mean any harm just let
11:26it
11:26go you take everything way too personally vanessa that's probably why you have no friends the milkshake
11:33sat heavy in my throat i couldn't swallow it couldn't spit it out so that was it no matter how
11:39badly i was
11:40hurt i was always the petty one with caleb always too sensitive too dramatic from that day on our relationship
11:47just went on autopilot we were together but something between us had gone cold after we
11:53finished grad school our parents started bringing up marriage more and more they thought it was time
11:58we settled down caleb didn't object so the wedding was set for my 25th birthday on the big day natalie
12:06was already standing in the bridal suite wearing my wedding dress she said she just wanted to see how
12:11it looked on her i let out a disbelieving laugh she glanced at the red reception dress i had just
12:17changed into wrinkled her nose honestly red is definitely not your color vanessa it looks hideous
12:24on you take it off if you want to try on a wedding dress so badly go rent one that
12:30one is mine but she
12:31just did a little twirl in front of me oh come on you've already worn it for the ceremony caleb
12:37said he
12:38didn't mind why are you being so possessive that was it i reached out and grabbed the fabric it's my
12:45wedding dress give it back as we struggled her foot caught on something she tripped and fell hard onto
12:52the floor her carefully styled hair tumbled into a messy heap at that exact moment the door flew open
12:59caleb rushed in his eyes landed on natalie and without a single second of hesitation he raised his hand and
13:07slapped me straight across the face it was raining when i walked out of the ballroom a brutal august
13:14storm heavy drops smashed against the pavement i walked step by step into the freezing rain still
13:22wearing that red reception dress natalie had just mocked behind me my mother's voice tore through the
13:29storm vanessa vanessa come back oh for god's sake what is wrong with her throwing a tantrum throwing
13:37a tantrum at her own wedding this is so embarrassing i didn't look back my heel caught in a puddle
13:44my ankle
13:44twisted and i nearly fell so i yanked off both heels walked barefoot on the soaking wet pavement the muddy
13:52water was freezing and filthy but i couldn't care less when i walked past the main gates the hotel
13:59security guards stared at me like i'd lost my mind well a barefoot bride walking into a thunderstorm
14:06i probably did look insane my phone buzzed non-stop in my purse i pulled it out dozens of texts
14:13from
14:14relatives and friends what happened is everything okay why did you leave i powered the phone off and
14:21flagged down a cab the driver hesitated when he saw me dripping wet but eventually unlocked the doors
14:27where to i gave him an address an old apartment i shared with a friend back in college she had
14:33moved
14:33to san francisco but she kept the lease and left me a spare key the ride took 40 minutes i
14:40shivered the
14:40entire way i wasn't sure if it was from the cold or something else when i arrived i dug through
14:47my soaked
14:47purse i only had 200 in cash and a debit card my phone was completely dead my phone buzzed non
14:56-stop in
14:57my purse i pulled it out dozens of texts from relatives and friends what happened is everything
15:04okay why did you leave i powered the phone off and flagged down a cab the driver hesitated when he
15:10saw me dripping wet but eventually unlocked the doors where to i gave him an address an old apartment
15:17i shared with a friend back in college she had moved to san francisco but she kept the lease and
15:22left me a spare key the ride took 40 minutes i shivered the entire way i wasn't sure if it
15:29was from the
15:29cold or something else when i arrived i dug through my soaked purse i only had 200 in cash and
15:37a debit card
15:38my phone was completely dead i climbed the stairs and unlocked the door the apartment was dead empty
15:47just a bare mattress and a single folding chair i peeled off the heavy soaked dress crawled into an old
15:55blanket she had left behind curling into a tight ball finally the tears started falling it wasn't even
16:03heartbreak anymore it wasn't anger either it was just a suffocating emptiness i'd loved caleb for
16:11almost my entire life when i was five he beat up the boys who bullied me i thought he was
16:17the bravest
16:18person in the world when i was eight i scraped my me he crouched down and put a band-aid
16:24on it his hands
16:25had been clumsy but so careful when i was 15 i bombed a test he stayed on the phone with
16:32me for hours
16:33saying it's one test vanessa you'll be fine when i was 18 i got accepted into college he bought me
16:42a
16:42pink crystal bracelet my little princess finally grew up
16:48but 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
17:00a shadow he just couldn't shake off he treated me well not out of love but out of habit he
17:09was used to
17:09me following him around used to my clinginess but natalie was different she was independent fiercely
17:17opinionated and bluntly outspoken she didn't need him to act as her knight in shining armor she even
17:24challenged him to caleb maybe that was a mature equal relationship not a childish high maintenance
17:31princess who needed constant coddling those thoughts spiraled until i eventually passed out from
17:38exhaustion in my dreams i was five years old again after he finished beating up those boys he turned
17:45his head and looked at me sunlight hit his face anyone touches vanessa they deal with me but the very
17:53next second the dream shifted he was standing in the grand ballroom staring at me with an ice cold face
18:00before slapping me across the cheek i jolted awake sweat slicked my skin the storm had passed
18:08the sky was starting to turn pale i plugged in my phone powered it on it vibrated for three straight
18:16minutes flooded with messages most were from my mother starting from a panicked vanessa where are you
18:24to please answer me and finally do you have any idea what this has done to both families then there
18:33were a few texts from caleb where are you vanessa are you done with this yet pick up the very
18:41last
18:42one was sent at 2 a.m just one line are you happy now i stared at that text a
18:49bitter laugh escaped my
18:51lips he slapped me across the face and now he actually had the guts to text me are you happy
18:59now just like
19:00always to him this was totally my fault i was being unreasonable i ruined our perfect wedding
19:08i didn't reply to anyone i opened door dash and ordered some hot chicken soup the buzzer sounded i
19:16assumed it was the chicken soup i pulled open the door but it wasn't the delivery guy it was caleb
19:22he
19:23was still wearing the same gray wedding suit dark circles bruised the skin beneath his eyes
19:29like he hadn't slept all night he took one look at my pale face and froze
19:36i knew exactly how pathetic i looked i was drowning in a baggy old t-shirt someone left behind and
19:43i
19:43still had the faint red handprint on my left cheek he stared at me for a few seconds his throat
19:50bobbed
19:50you stayed here last night i didn't answer him just turned and walked back inside he followed me inside
19:57scanning the completely bare room his brows drawing together here you're staying here there's not even a bed
20:04none of your business i sat down on the mattress picked up a cup and took a sip of water
20:09he walked
20:10over and towered above me looking down come home let's finish the wedding we can pretend yesterday
20:20never happened i slowly looked up at him his face was so incredibly calm caleb do you honestly think i
20:27can't live without you can't live without you what i said i'm not marrying you we're done his brow
20:38furrowed into a tight knot vanessa do you even hear yourself i do i'm perfectly clear why just because
20:47of one slap i didn't mean it given the situation what situation you saw natalie on the floor and you
20:57hit me you didn't ask why you didn't ask what she did to me you didn't even give me a
21:04chance to explain
21:05you just hit me do you even know what she did she wore my wedding dress on my wedding day
21:14she put it
21:15on without my permission i told her to take it off and she refused we argued i tried to pull
21:22it off her
21:23then you walked in and you hit me for no reason tell me caleb what did i do wrong she'd
21:32never worn one
21:33before she was just curious did you really have to make such a huge deal out of it did you
21:39really
21:39have to hit me caleb i chased you for 20 years i loved you for 20 years i've been your
21:49loyal shadow
21:49for 20 years i thought you were just bad at expressing yourself i thought you loved me and
21:57didn't know how to say it but that slap yesterday finally woke me up you never loved me
22:03you got used to me i'm just an accessory to you someone you could snap your fingers at whenever
22:09it suited you but natalie you'll back her up in public you'll hit me for her because deep down caleb
22:16she is more important to you not true say it caleb tell me what it actually is
22:23he couldn't say a single thing i let out a bitter laugh
22:29get out i already threw the ring away the wedding is cancelled i'll deal with our families and the
22:35fallout from now on we're completely done don't ever reach out to me again he didn't move he stood
22:43there for a long time finally he muttered cool off for a few days i'll come back when you've calmed
22:50down then he turned around and walked out the second the door shut my legs gave out i sank to
22:57the
22:57floor burying my face in my arms i was the one who initiated the breakup who cancelled the wedding
23:04but why why did my chest still hurt this much for the next three days i locked myself in that
23:13empty apartment
23:15ignored every call my mother was losing it she texted me that she and my father were already on their
23:22way
23:22i just replied i'm fine please don't come on the third afternoon the doorbell rang i checked the peephole
23:29it was her with no choice left i opened the door when she stepped inside her eyes welled up with
23:37tears
23:37oh sweetheart you've lost so much weight you look so pale have you even eaten anything
23:45as she scolded me she started pulling thermoses out of her tote bag
23:51i 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
