The doctor said I had late-stage stomach cancer and only three months left. I decided to end it all, but before that, I tied Lucas Bennett's tie for him, just like I always did. Lucas leaned against the doorframe, that face adored by fans looking nothing but lazy and impatient. "Emily, I'm not coming home tonight. Don't call me," he said. "Okay," I replied with a smile. "Goodbye, Lucas." He raised an eyebrow, probably thinking I was acting weirdly obedient today. He just let out a scoff and slammed the door behind him. He had no idea that this goodbye meant we'd never see each other again. Three hours later, I parked my car on the Riverdale Bridge and leapt off. Lucas, I set you free then.
