Then came Kelly's fragile , sorrowful voice , brimming with just the right amount of helplessness . " Sharon , you don't need to remind me . I know ... I don't have much time left . " " You're right . Everything Carter has given me was fake ... I'm sorry The footage shifted . Now it was the moment Sharon had " pushed " Kelly into the water , followed by another scene : Kelly soaked and trembling , apologizing over and over like a wronged child . The clip ended with this morning's incident - Kelly stumbling , nearly falling into traffic . A car screeched just in time to stop . It was enough . The internet erupted . [ What the hell ? Kelly only has six months to live and that McKinzie bitch's cursing her to die sooner ? ] [ She literally got pregnant to marry him ? Gross . No wonder the real love interest got driven out . ] [ Wait - so Carter and Kelly were the original couple , and this McKinzie woman just forced her way in ? Seriously ? She looks so classy , but she's garbage underneath . ] [ Classy ? Please . My friend's a plastic surgeon - he says that face is 0 % artificial . ] [ Kelly's a saint . Not only did this homewrecker steal her man , she nearly killed her . Literally pushed her into the water . ] [ That's attempted murder . Let's tag the police . This psycho needs to go to jail . ] [ God , it's always the beautiful ones that suffer . Kelly's not just gorgeous - she's a genius violinist . How could fate be so cruel ? ] [ And that McKinzie bitch ? She stopped working after she got married . Just a housewife . Completely useless . ] The moment the story hit the trending charts , the hate poured in like a flood . There was no debate , no nuance - no " maybe it's more complicated " or " we don't know the whole story . " Just a tidal wave of condemnation . In the blink of an eye , Sharon became public enemy number one . Sharon scrolled through the comments beneath the story , her face blank . Then she closed the app . Breathed . Once . Twice . Three times . She needed to think . Her phone vibrated again . She looked at the caller ID . Waited . Then answered . Nate's arrogant voice came through , full of self - importance . " Kelly's awake . Carter said you need to come to the hospital . Right now . To apologize . " Sharon replied flatly , " No. " Nate gave a sharp laugh . " Carter said if you don't show up , you'll regret it . " Sharon's voice turned cold . " Tell Carter - the thing I regret most in this life is marrying him . " She hung up , then turned off her phone . By the next morning , the firestorm had only grown . The story was everywhere , spreading through the internet like ink in water .
