Just as I was leaving the house I had lived in for three years , Jake came home .
Does your face still hurt ? Im sorry , I lost my temper .
But you shouldnt have hit her , no matter what .
Jake was back to his usual gentle tone , his eyes showing concern , but also a hint of frustration .
Like I was the one whod done something < He reached out to touch my swollen cheek , but I slapped his hand away .
I see Sarahs doing okay .
Otherwise , why would Jake have the time and energy to worry about me ? Why are you being so heartless ? Shes still your half sister , Jake said , frowning .
I dont have a sister .
I cut him off .
Jake knew how much I hated Sarah and her mom .
But my reaction just made him angry : You still dont think you did anything wrong .
< Stay here and think about what youve done .
Im not coming home until you realize you were wrong , and apologize to Sarah .
Thatll never happen , I said coldly .
Youre impossible .
Jake slammed the door on his way out .
7 After leaving the house , I found an apartment .
Jake was still at the hospital with Sarah .
Actually , Sarah was fine .
She was just faking , trying to keep Jake by her side .

Three days passed .

Jake tried to act like nothing was wrong , but Sarah noticed he kept zoning out when they talked .
If youre so worried , you should go check on Claire .

Sarah said , her head down , eyes red .
Shell be fine .
He was trying to convince himself as much as Sarah .

A few more days passed .
Jake finally called me .
I didnt answer .
Is she still not answering ? Sarah asked , trying to sound casual , but you could hear the glee in her voice .
Dont worry , shes fine .
I bet shes just trying to get under your skin .
Shes too headstrong , and selfish and doesnt think about anyone but herself .
Jake usually loved hearing Sarah talk , he liked whatever she bad to say < But today , he didnt agree .
He frowned , annoyed .
He almost said something , but saw Sarahs pale , weak face , and bit back the words .
But when Sarah called me selfish , he couldnt help but defend me : You dont know her , she isnt like that .
Sarah was taken aback .
She swallowed back the comments she wanted to make .
For some reason , Jake was feeling more and more uneasy .
Finally , ignoring Sarahs protests , he rushed home .
But the second he walked in the door , he froze .
All that was left was a divorce agreement and the wedding ring he had given me on the table .
Everything that reminded him of me was gone .
Jake picked up the divorce papers , quickly flipping to the last page .
I had already signed it , three days ago .
Jake still didnt understand why I wanted a divorce .
Because of that slap ? That wasnt a good く His phone rang .
It was his doctor friend .
Jake , I have to tell you , Claire found out about the kidney transplant .
What ? Jake was stunned .
She came to the medical records department a few days ago .
I wasnt there , and the person filling in didnt know Claire , so they gave her the records .
The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the floor .
It was like he had no energy left .
He collapsed onto the couch .
L There was only one thought in his mind .
Claire knew .
Jake thought he had covered his tracks well , he wanted to hide the truth from me forever .
But the truth always comes out .
Jake closed his eyes .
He thought about the last three years , the little moments we spent together , and his heart ached .
He picked up his phone and started calling me .
I didnt answer .
L He sent me a message , and a red exclamation point showed up , realizing I had blocked him .
8 While Jake was panicking , Sarah showed up .
She saw the divorce papers in Jakes hand , and struggled to hide her joy .
She plastered a fake look of concern on her face .
Shes just acting up , shes always been spoiled and impulsive .
وو Dont worry , shell be back in a few days .
Sarah kept talking , listing all my flaws .
Just get out ! Jakes voice was low , almost a growl , his anger barely contained .
Sarah stared , her eyes wide , wondering if shed heard right .
