After Sleeping 16
Ethan's face slowly drained of all color at Avery's words.
Her parents sensed something was off and their expressions turned serious as they looked at him.
"What's going on? Are you two fighting again?"
"It's not a fight. Just a misunderstanding. I think-" Ethan started.
Avery laughed bitterly at his attempt to downplay everything.
She put down her silverware and sat up straight, her eyes like daggers pointed straight at him.
"A misunderstanding? Is that what you call it? Then why fly to Spain talking about apologies?"
Seeing her anger, Ethan's parents jumped in nervously.
"Avery, it's all Ethan's fault. He needs to apologize to you."
Her parents looked completely lost.
The peaceful life she'd finally found was being disrupted. Avery decided she was done with the
cryptic hints and laid it all out.
"Ethan and I have been together since we were eighteen." Her voice started calm. "We never went public but I thought we were in a relationship. Then Sophia came back and suddenly he told me he'd always loved her. That I was just his 'buddy.""
Her voice rose with emotion. "I didn't argue. I stepped aside! I even moved to Spain to cut all ties. I gave up EVERYTHING." She was nearly shouting now. "And you still won't leave me alone! Why can't you just let me go?"
Tears welled in her eyes but this time they were different.
These tears were only for herself. For the girl who loved for years, waited for years, was dismissed,
misunderstood, abandoned, and ignored.

This was the first time either set of parents had heard the full story from their own children.
All four turned to Ethan, wanting to know if this was really true.
He kept his head down, his silence the only confirmation they needed.
Her parents' faces instantly went cold.
His parents reacted even more strongly, glaring at him in fury.
"Is what Avery said true? How could you DO something like this?"
Ethan couldn't deny it.
His chest felt like it was being crushed. He could barely force words out.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I really am sorry to
Avery.
Part I've done. I k
messed up, Content met
and Mrs. Collins, I truly
up,
SWO
and I apologize from the bottom of my heart."
The child they'd loved for over twenty years had hurt their daughter so deeply.
Mr. and Mrs. Collins couldn't accept this reality.
Burning with rage, they couldn't bear
to face the Millers anymore. There
slammed down their utensils and
left with Avery.
Ethan's parents followed, apologizing nonstop.
Looking at his longtime friends, Mr. Collins made no attempt to hide his disappointment and anger.
"Any other issue we could work through. But when it comes to my daughter? Don't bother
explaining. What's done is done. This isn't up for discussion!"
Watching the Collins family walk away, Ethan felt his heart twist into knots.
Guilt and regret crashed over him like a tidal wave, drowning him completely.
For the first time he truly understood that he and Avery had reached the point of no return.

No amount of groveling or apologizing could fix this.

another chance.
What he'd lost was truly lost forever.
Some bridges, once burned, can never be rebuilt.
