Goodbye to the Love I Lost Eight Years Ago

Summary

Eight years ago, I broke the heart of the boy I loved.

Now, after eight years overseas, Liam Hayes was finally coming home with his new girlfriend to meet his family.

That same day, the hospital gave me its final answer.

The cancer had won.

There was nothing left to treat. Nothing left to try. They sent me home with only time.

When Liam saw my mother helping me into a wheelchair, a cold smile touched his mouth.

“Eight years,” he said. “And this is what became of you? You can’t even walk anymore?”

Disgust laced every word.
