Stanley I ve noticed something You ve really changed You ve started treating meso coldly Why were you with Wendy last night
“Iwassoforwardjustnow,andyou pushedmeaway.YouwanttobewithWendy,butwon’teventouchme.AmIreallynotascharmingassheis?”
Stanley s handsome face was bathed in the soft dim light making it difficult to read his expression My patience has limits If you don t show me the crystal pendant soon Il
“Lookatthis!”
Jessica pulled out the crystal pendant
Stanleyfroze,recognizingitinstantly.Itwashis–auniquefamilyheirloomfromtheHawkfamily, oneofakind.
It was his crystal pendant
The girl who had saved him all those years ago It was really Jessica
Jessica looked at Stanley her voice tinged with hurt I ve kept this pendant all this time It breaks my heart to see how you ve changed How could you doubt me Did Wendy say something Did she tell you she saved you
She s really scheming Back then I felt sorry for her and let her stay with us When I mentioned saving you to my mother she must ve overheard She must ve lied saying she was the one who saved you
If it weren t for this pendant proving my innocence would you have been fooled by her You doubt me just because of a few words she said That was enough to make you question everything we ve been through all these years
The girl who had saved him was Jessica
Seeingthecrystalpendant,Stanleycouldn’tquite placetheemotionsswirlinginsidehim.Hefeltadeepsenseofdisappointment,ofloss.
He realized now that deep down he had hoped the girl who saved him had been Wendy
His heart had already drifted toward Wendy
And in doing so he had hurt Jessica
Jessica shoved the pendant into his hands her eyes red with emotion Let s breakup
Stanley blinked in surprise Jessica
I ve loved you so much but you ve let me down too many times From now on we redone My life is no longer tied to yours Go be with Wendy I ll pretend In ever saved you
With that Jessica quickly changed into her clothes and stored out
Stanley stood there watching her disappear down the hallway his mind racing He rushed after her determined to explain
He caught up with her on the stairs grabbing her arm Jessica listen tome
Jessica covered her ears I don t want to hear it I don t want to hear anything Stanley you ve really broken my heart You ve forgotten all the promises you made
Stanley felt torn He reached out and gently grabbed her shoulder his voice full of regret I m sorry

Tear swelled up in Jessica s eyes as relief flooded over her She threw herself into his arms hugging him tightly I knew you still loved me
Stanley s expression was conflicted his emotions a tangled mess
Jessica whispered her voice pleading But you can t keep wavering between me and Wendy You have to choose If you don t all three of us will get hurt Now you ve made your choice You picked me You won t change your mind will you
