Betrayed
Steve’s world had come crashing down around him. The woman he had known as his sister for the past eighteen years, who had sat by and remained silent when he mentioned how badly he wanted to meet his biological parents, had known the truth all along. He didn’t know how he would ever forgive Joanie, Don, or Mary Jane.
Left Alone
After it was over, Steve was totally speechless. He remembered thanking his friends, head buzzing. He could hardly recall them leaving. That night, Steve was all alone, with only his swirling thoughts for company.
