Synopsis…
Four words continue to haunt me . . .
You. Have. Breast. Cancer.
I associate them with the upheaval of my life to this point. The last few months have been a test of my strength . . . mentally, emotionally, and physically. Cancer is a monster. It preys on your mind and it consumes you, consistently reminding you of how your life used to be. Life before cancer. I was a successful business woman, running my own design firm, and was happily married to my college sweetheart. My life seemed perfect. Until it suddenly came crashing down all around me.
You. Have. Breast. Cancer.
I associate them with the upheaval of my life to this point. The last few months have been a test of my strength . . . mentally, emotionally, and physically. Cancer is a monster. It preys on your mind and it consumes you, consistently reminding you of how your life used to be. Life before cancer. I was a successful business woman, running my own design firm, and was happily married to my college sweetheart. My life seemed perfect. Until it suddenly came crashing down all around me.
So, here I am, in the midst of treatment, incinerating the remnants of my shattered marriage and attempting to piece the rest of my life back together. With three amazing friends pushing me forward, the ‘post-chemo’ finish line is coming into view.
And then . . . there’s him. The man I never anticipated. The one who breathes hope and meaning back into my life. A man who kisses my scars and shows me that I’m beautiful. I never expected him. Hell, I never expected cancer. I’m finally ready to write my future, a future I never planned on, but one that is better than I could’ve ever imagined.
Snippet…
The sound of my phone ringing interrupted my thoughts, and I hopped up to grab it from the kitchen counter.
“Hello?” I answered, not recognizing the number.
“Victoria.” An all-too-familiar voice responded, and I didn’t know what to say. Out of morbid curiosity, I didn’t hang up. “Considering I didn’t hear a click, I’ll assume you’re still there.”
Again, I didn’t respond.
“I know you’re ignoring me, but we need to talk. I need to say a few things, and I’d prefer to do it in person.”
“Not going to happen.”
“Victoria, please . . .” he demanded.
“Fuck you, Noah. You can’t walk out of my life like you did and expect me to have anything to say to you. You completely shattered my heart, and I will not make the same mistake again . . .” I spat as I ended the call and threw my phone across the room.
Shit. I rushed over to make sure I hadn’t broken it. The last thing I wanted to do was get another new mobile phone; it had only been a few months since I got a new one after the “morning after” shit storm. Noah had called Bobbie Jo the morning after I saw him with Stacey, and in a furious rage, she threw it against the wall, causing it to shatter. Thank God it was in one piece this time, so I could pull up the recent call list and block the number.
