When I got to the studio in the afternoon,
they gave me evil looks, like I owed them.
money.
Filming started out okay, and they were just
showing off near the cameras, so I didn’t
bother going over.
But then they started playing some kind of
competitive game, and I had to deal with it.
They were all on the same team, and they
were messing with me where the cameras
couldn’t see.
They started getting more aggressive, and it
was almost like they were actually trying to
hurt me.
“Snap!”
I felt something snap on my neck. Then I saw
Chad holding my necklace.
“Give that back. My wife gave me that,” |
said, feeling bad.
He thought the necklace was fancy and
expensive, but when he heard my wife gave it
く
to me, he scoffed. “This is cheap crap. I
thought you bought it at a flea market.”
Ashley gave me a look when she heard us.
Last time around, she only gave me one
cheap necklace.
I could tell she got the wrong idea.
The one she gave me, I tossed after I woke
- up. This one, my wife gave me.
Chad followed my gaze and saw Ashley’s
expression.
He got furious, snapped the necklace, and
threw it on the ground.
Ashley glanced at Chad, took a deep breath,
patted his back, and said, “It’s just filming a
show. Stuff happens. Since my husband broke
it, I’ll pay for it. Is five grand enough?”
I was pissed at how she was treating me.
“This was an anniversary gift. You can’t just
put a price on that.”
She didn’t even look up. “Fine, I’ll give you
く
another five grand! Ten grand for your
necklace.”
She was being mean, and all the good
memories I had of her went out the window.
Time really changes people.
“You…nevermind. I’m just gonna go,” I said,
trying to keep it cool.
“You just want money, right? Here, take it.
Why are you acting like this?” she snapped,
blocking my way.
I was sick of dealing with them, so I pushed
her and tried to get past.
“Move!”
Ashley was shocked. She couldn’t believe I
was treating her like that.
I used to be a simp who did everything she
wanted.
Even though I didn’t make much money last
time, she still lived a pretty good life.
But after I woke up. she didn’t get any special
<
treatment from me, and I was actually way
worse to her.
She was thinking about the past and didn’t
notice Chad turning red.
“You’re dead!” Chad yelled and kicked me in
the chest, forgetting they were filming.
Everyone around us got ready to throw down.
I kept dodging them and tried to fight back.
Some of them were already on the ground,
crying.
Just when they were starting to hesitate,
Chad yelled, “Just cut this out! I’ll take the
blame! Do it!”
I kept my distance from them, not panicking
at all.
This was being filmed, this was a stage
accident. I just needed to wait for the staff
and security to come and break it up.
“Bang!”
I heard a loud noise above me, then I felt a lot
of pain.
I was seeing stars, and blood was dripping
from my forehead.
When I looked back, I saw Ashley holding a
bloody microphone, looking ice cold.
“I love you, Ashley!” Chad yelled
