CHAPTER 6

"Damn her to hell," he muttered under his breath for the umpteenth time. He was lying flat on his back; fully clothed, on the bed, consumed in the darkness of his bedroom. After gulping down his cold beer in the kitchen, he walked straight to his bed without even bothering to switch on the light. All he wanted was to erase the last 1 ½ hour nightmare from his memory.

"I'm engaged."

Her words still echoed in his head. He covered his ears with both hands, as if that would help to block her words from penetrating into his soul. He wanted to howl at the top of his lungs for the whole world to hear, for her to hear. Maybe then she would realize how much her words had killed him deep inside.

"Damn her to hell," he growled again.

He hated her.

He hated her for making him feel wanted, only to be shot down twice, though the second blow was the one that really ripped him apart.

A fatal blow courtesy of a country bitch, he scoffed.

He hated her for making him feel like he was special, like was the one; only to let him know he wasn't the only one.

But most of all, he hated her for making him feel loved, like he had never been loved before.
