Misery Business
Summary
Alex was looking at her right now―staring at her actually―and not remembering who she was. Did she have to scream her name to him to make him remember? What about that tattoo? Did he ever look down on it and wonder who the hell he got it for? Did she honestly look that different from when they were in high school? Did he actually forget about her? He forgot about his first best friend and love?
He had, and that was something that Victoria hated to admit the most.
