Chapter One
S-POV
He left her. He left her for me.
But yet I hide from him.
He tells me he loves me.
But yet I hide from him.
He tells me not to be scared.
But yet I hide from him.
When I was growing up my favorite Disney movie was Cinderella. I always used to wish to be Cinderella.
Now I regret it.
Because now I feel like her.
For two years I had a wonderful life with Vaughn. He had made me smile and laugh and feel loved when I thought I couldn't be. I felt like Cinderella at the Ball.
But then the clock struck midnight.
And I woke up two years later, back in my stepmother's home cleaning for her and the evil step sisters.
But I knew Cinderella had the happily ever after, so I went to work every day and smiled at the witch.
Lauren Reed.
And now the prince has found me again, and he's holding the glass slipper at my feet waiting for me to slip it on.
The question is, should I?
Because if I do step into the slipper and let my hopes rise again, rise to a point where I'm the happiest I've ever been. And then something happens that crashes and breaks all my hopes.
I don't know what to do.
So I hide from him.
I read letter over and over again.
Sydney,
Its official, she's no longer my wife. Let me be specific. Lauren Reed is No Longer my wife. I miss you Sydney, and I love you, Please don't give up on us. You said to never give up hope. To always have faith. I'm trying. Are you? I miss you. I need you. I love you. -Michael
I looked for a reason to let go of him, even when my heart was begging me not to.
I don't take risks when it comes to my heart. I find that is the worst kind of pain.
I looked around the Shopping Mall. I was seated in the food court. I watched a couple splitting an ice cream outside of the ice cream shop. They looked so happy. So peaceful, So Content.
That used to be Vaughn and me.
The Question is, is that what I still want?
He loved me.
But yet i hide from him.
