The Boy Who Once Protected Me Destroyed Me

Synopsis

During the debate competition, Ryan Brooks taught Lucine White to tear open my old scars in front of everyone so she could win. "Megan, do people who broke down after being sexually assaulted really have any right to talk about being strong here?" Lucine sneered. Later, at the celebration party, everyone was huddled together, gossiping away. The boy who once promised to protect me for life was now grinning as he exposed my trauma in front of everyone. "When she was thirteen, the landlord got drunk and let himself in with his key. After that... Well, you know the rest," Ryan said. As people burst out laughing, Ryan just smirked. "Alright, enough talking. She's petty. If she finds out, she'll make a scene." I stood quietly outside the door and didn't push it open. Ryan always thought I was damaged and stained, that nobody but him would ever want me. But he had no idea that I'd already signed the papers to study abroad in Francia. In seven days, I'd vanish from his life forever.
