According to Webster’s Dictionary the definition of the word Broken is violently separated into parts. SHATTERED.
Yup, that pretty much sums me up. How do I handle things? I find my answers at the bottom of a bottle of Tequila and sleep with random men.
How did I get this way? Well, four years ago I made a decision that cost me the love of my life. I can't undo what I did to drive Garrett out of my life. I haven't seen or heard from him in four long years. But he still haunts me in my dreams or should I call them nightmares at this point? No matter how much booze I drink and how many men I sleep with, nothing fills the void. I feel like I am existing but I’m not really living.
I’m trying to get my life back on track. Well that was until. . . . Garrett walked back into my life. His reappearance threw me into another tailspin.
How do I put the pieces of our broken hearts back together? All before he walks out of my life again... this time for good. Or am I simply destined to just be Broken?

Just
as I was about to step into the main reception hall, I heard a very familiar
voice and then a very familiar laugh. A
laugh that stopped me dead in my tracks.
A laugh I would never forget. I
hadn’t heard it in over four years. At first, I thought I was losing my
mind. I inched my way over to the
doorway where the reception was being held.
That was when I saw his reflection in the mirror hanging on the
wall. My heart sank. Fuck. The wedding had just gotten worse.
It
was Garrett Levine. The man who broke my heart four years earlier. The man who left a hole in my heart that I’d
been trying to fill with alcohol and one night stands ever since. I hadn't seen him since that fateful night
when he told me he loved me, but he couldn’t be with me anymore.
Fuck,
Fuck, Fuck! I was ready to call
Katie and beg her to switch weddings with me, but I knew, deep down, that was
impossible. I was over an hour and a
half away from home and who the hell knew where Katie’s wedding was!
It
had been four years since Garrett left town and fell off the face of the
earth. Why was he here? How did he know Bridezilla? Oh my God!
Was he marrying Bridezilla? My
mind was moving at a million miles a minute.
I couldn’t think. I couldn’t
breathe, and sheer panic rushed through my body. I felt as if I was going to
pass out.
Just
then a voice came from behind me. “Are you ok, Miss?”
I
turned around to see an older gentleman, with gray hair, small framed glasses
with an overly large nose, staring at me with a worried look on his face.
“Yes,
I am fine,” I replied in between breaths.
“Let
me get you a chair, you really don’t look well at all,” he said. He poked his head into the reception hall and
yelled, “Garrett, grab me a chair! Hurry up!”
At
his words, I said every four-letter word I could think of in my head. This confirmed it was definitely
Garrett. I mean how many Garrett’s are
there in the world? Now I was going to
see him after four years. I was fucked! I quickly tried to stand straighter, which
made me feel even worse. My legs became weak, and I stumbled backwards towards
the wall. Just as I nearly fell on my
ass, as Garrett walked through the door with the chair. He looked at me and did a double take. He looked as shocked as I was.
