Chapter 1: Sometimes It Last's In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead.
My name is Christine Sloan, and I am an E.R doctor. I live with my dad and my grandfather. My mom and my dad divorced about six years ago. He didn't like that she was an ex-alcoholic and she didn't like him getting onto her about how many drinks to have when we went out to dinner. I was sixteen when they got divorced and I am twenty-seven now. My mom lives in New York with her new husband, Jack, my stepfather who I just really don't like. My dad married one of his friends, who's one of my grandfather's co-workers. My name is Christine Elizabeth Katherine Sloan. When my parents had me, my dad wanted me to be named after my grandmother, his mother, Katherine, and my mom wanted me to be named after her mother, Elizabeth, so they put both names on my birth certificate. Anyway, back to what I was saying before about me. I went out to dinner last night with my boyfriend, Ryan, and he popped the question. When I got home last night, my dad, stepmother, and my grandfather along with another co-worker of my grandfathers were there. I came up the stairs by the living room, and when they saw me beaming, they knew something good had happened. They looked at my left hand, and on my ring finger was an engagement ring. They were all so excited for me. I went to bed that night with a smile on my face. During the night, I dreamed about our wedding and our wedding night and where we would have our honeymoon. I woke up the next morning, my hair was messy. I threw it up in a ponytail and threw on some sweats. I went out to the kitchen for some coffee and breakfast. My grandfather and my dad along with my stepmother were up. I poured myself some coffee and fixed myself some toast. After eating breakfast I got ready to go to work. I got to work about an hour later. I went to check on my patients that I had. Later on that afternoon, I went to lie down in one of the on-call rooms. I opened the door and what I saw in there disgusted me. I saw my fiancé in bed with another woman. When I saw them making love to one another, I felt a lump go up into my throat and I ran into the nearest bathroom that I could find so I could get sick. After the bathroom, I went back into the on-call sleep room and stalled outside the door thinking how I would give the ring back.
