She thought the past was forgotten, but I had the perfect wedding gift to remind her that some scars don\u2019t fade.I was eight years old when I first learned that some monsters don&#8217;t live under the bed. They sit behind you in class, whispering just loud enough for you to hear.Nancy wasn&#8217;t the kind of bully who pushed or hit. That would have been too obvious. She was smarter than that. She used words like a scalpel, cutting deep but never leaving a mark anyone else could see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers thought she was an angel. My parents? They told me to ignore her. But ignoring Nancy was like trying to ignore a mosquito buzzing in your ear. She never stopped.By high school, I had perfected the art of being invisible. I ate lunch alone. I kept my head down. I counted the days until graduation like a prisoner marking time on a cell wall.Then I left. I moved two states away for college, built a career, and made a life where Nancy didn&#8217;t exist. For years, I barely thought about her.Until my brother called.&#8221;Guess what?&#8221; His voice was bright, excited. &#8220;I&#8217;m engaged!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When my brother announced his engagement, I was thrilled, until he told me he was marrying the girl who made my childhood miserable.
