Chapter 9 During my time with family in Boston , I put on a good show of being happy . I kept myself deliberately busy , filling every hour with activities , leaving no empty spaces for unwanted thoughts . And no , I didnt unblock Aiden like hed demanded . Still , Maya and other friends kept sending me updates about him . Apparently , Aiden and his friends spent days in Aspen . For some reason , he started posting constantly on Instagram- totally unlike the guy whod go months without a single post . Sometimes it was videos of him carving down black diamond runs , sometimes lavish dinners and all night parties , but mostly group photos of everyone goofing around in the snow , all smiles and inside jokes . Even though I didnt want to know , people kept sending me screenshots . Everyone kept asking why I wasnt in Aspen with Aiden . I dodged their questions , making vague excuses about family obligations in Boston . While Maya straight up called Aiden a player , everyone else just gave me these knowing looks , like they were afraid to say what they were thinking . I knew why . In every group photo he posted , he and Madison were practically glued together , inseparable . That spot beside him it had been mine for years . Each time I saw these posts , I kept my face neutral , but my heart would twist painfully . He was my first real love , someone Id genuinely cared about for so , so long . Late at night , Id let myself break down sometimes, feeling the unfairness of it all . But then Id remember his cruel words and mentally slap myself . Over and over , Id repeat : Brooklyn , have some self respect . Dont make yourself even more pathetic . Just hold on . Get through withdrawal . Things would get better . 19:25 The Black Swans Final Revenge Pirouette : The 99th G Wa All Alo 23.7 % Chapter 9 We went a whole month without contact the longest wed gone since meeting .
