One month later:
A week after my break up with Ace, 2 million dollars was wired into my bank account. I’m not sure how he did it, and I was so pissed that he thought money would make me feel better, or safer, but at least he was still thinking of me.
Most people would pass out with that amount of money, but I haven’t touched those 2 million dollars, and I don’t plan to.
Clara and I have still kept our friendship strong despite her brother breaking up with me. She tells me that he is always asking about me, to make sure I’m okay, and I’m not okay. I pretend to be, but I’m not. I’m not sure what Clara tells him, but I hope it’s nothing bad.
Ace no longer works at his shop, but he hired some tattoo artists to keep his shop running.
Jackie has started working at the same Dog training place as Clara and I. She still looks very thin, but she is regaining her strength back and is able to handle most small and medium-sized dogs.
