After Sleeping 13
Ethan finally snapped back to reality and tried to explain.
"Sophia, I just need to find out why she suddenly left. Give me a minute-"

Sophia completely lost it.
She slapped him hard across the face, her eyes glistening with angry tears.
"You said you loved me for eight years! Now you're the one ditching me at the wedding! You told me
Avery was 'just a buddy' while you were fucking her behind my back! Do you ever tell the goddamn
truth?"
Everyone went silent.
His parents stared at their son in total shock.
Sophia's father stood nearby and his face turned crimson with anger. He smacked Ethan hard and stormed out with his daughter.
This time, nobody tried to stop them.
Ethan sat on the floor, his face swelling and blood trickling from his lip.
But he seemed numb to the pain, staring blankly as the Grant disappeared through the door.
He never said a single word to make them stay.
Was he unable to speak, or did he not want to?
Even he didn't know.
The wedding ended before it even began.
That night, the Grant family returned all the engagement gifts and announced they were cutting ties.

The Miller house, still decorated with wedding decorations, looked festive but felt like a tomb.
Ethan sat alone on the couch, staring out at the dark, empty Collins house.
His mind flashed with countless memories of Avery. Five-year-olds holding hands on the swing set. Ten-year-olds with her sketching his portrait. Adults sharing kisses and embraces...
They'd been best friends for eighteen years before becoming secret lovers overnight.
Lovers. What an inappropriate word.
But Ethan couldn't think of another term to describe these past five years.
She wasn't his girlfriend, yet everything they did went far beyond friendship.
The casual "I like you" and "I love you" whispered in bed had gradually engraved themselves in his
heart.
After telling so many lies, he'd slowly started believing them himself.
He just never realized it until now.
Only after losing her completely did Ethan finally understand his own heart. Yes, he had liked Sophia.
But during her years away, that like had morphed into an obsession.
The obsession of wanting something he couldn't have blinded him, making him think his feelings never changed.
Yet over time, he'd actually fallen for Avery.
That's why he got angry when she distanced herself. Why he felt shaken when
she admitted her feelings. Why he panicked when he learned she'd left.
For Ethan, losing Avery forever was something he couldn't bear, even if it meant winning Sophia.
If forced to choose, he had only one answer:

He needed Avery by his side.
He couldn't imagine what his life would be like without her.
No one to share a good drink with. No one to appreciate his weird ideas. No one who would understand his rambling stories even after hearing them a hundred times.
The only person who truly got him was now across an ocean, out of reach.
Just thinking about it made Ethan shiver.
So when he heard the Grant were calling off the wedding, his first reaction was... relief.
His parents still hadn't recovered from the shock. They stared at him for a long time before finally gathering the courage to ask.
"Sophia said you and Avery..."
After hiding it for so long, Ethan didn't know how to face his parents.
After a long silence, he nodded slightly as his answer.
His parents felt like the air had been sucked from the room. They took a deep
breath, looking at him with complicated emotions.
"When did this happen? Why didn't you say something earlier? If you two were dating, why the hell were you marrying Sophia? Is Avery's decision to move away because of you?"
"How could you be so stupid! We've been friends with the Collins family for decades! If you two were really in love, do you think we wouldn't support you? How could you do this to very? To her
parents?"
Ethan's mind was a mess. He had no idea how to answer them.
The room fell silent again.
After what seemed like forever, he finally figured out what to say.
"This whole thing is my fault. I'll fly to Spain tomorrow and apologize to Avery."
