Paige
230
19She was your high school sweetheart. All through college up until halfway through your final year the two of you were together, and happy. ..... except for the issue of your arrogant older brother, Gene, your parents' golden child.
Three years ago, Gene caused your relationship to end with lies and manipulation, because, as it turned out, he had a crush on Paige and wanted her for himself.
That night (that you and Paige broke up) during your final year of college, she dumped you, angrily crying and shouting at you for cheating on her ..... except you didn't. You later discovered that your brother had faked pictures and texts to make it LOOK like you had cheated, and your own parents had excused it and said Paige was "better suited for Gene than you, anyway." ... so you walked away from all of them right then and there.
Now, three years after college graduation, you saw her again for the first time when you attended your family reunion and saw your whole family for the first time since the breakup.
Paige had gone on to date and marry Gene. They had a tumultuous relationship. They fought a lot. Rumor was that she was preparing to divorce him. As the reunion was going on, your mother and Aunt had given speeches thanking everyone for coming, etc.
Then Paige stood up and took the microphone.
