'Speak now or forever hold your peace,' the preacher says and it echoes around the church. I close my eyes, smiling, almost expecting a certain voice to break the silence. A voice I would never forget; forever forged into my memory. 'You're not the type of girl who should be marrying the wrong boy.' A single sentence to make my world turn the right way round again, the way it had been before this whole mess. He would stare into my eyes, his soft emerald eyes melting with sincerity, and whisper in my ear that he loved me and no one else mattered. We would run away and live happily ever after and we would laugh as we sit on the porch with our kids playing on the grass. A boy and a girl. He would have Edward's eyes and she would have my blush.
A person nudges me in the ribs and I choke out my dreaded vows, closing my eyes and imagining it was Edward in front of me holding my hand. 'For so long, I was looking for the one. My best friend, my soul mate. The one I would want to spend forever with. The one I would recognise as soon as I glanced at them. The one I would feel the sudden sparks with. The one who would make me feel giddy and make my heart beat faster with a single thought. The one who would go to the ends of the world to put a smile on my face. I couldn't have searched faster and harder. And then I met you,' I whispered opening my eyes. For some reason I feel my heart thud loudly when Edward is not there. These were the vows I had wanted to say when Edward and I were getting married. He'd absolutely loved them. I remember him laughing when I said them but he was positively glowing. The memory brings tears to my eyes but do not betray how I am feeling. 'You made me feel whole and on top of the world. And, well, here I am. With you. My best friend, my soul mate.'
Fairy tales don't have a happy ending. The witch tricks you and makes you fall unconscious. He won't come and kiss you. He won't save you. 'You may now kiss the bride.' I open my eyes and lean forward my heart beating erratically. Not from love and desire. From pain and hate. Hate that I will be forced to live with this man I barely know. A man I was forced to marry. I place my lips against his intending on a quick peck but he laces his hands through my hair and pulls me towards him. I pull myself away from him pretending to laugh and look towards the entrance. I see green. Emerald green eyes. Topaz hair. Pale face. I freeze, my mouth opening in shock and my eyebrows pull together as I see the love of my life look me over and then at the floor in a defeated gesture. He turns around and walks out of the church.
Out of my life.
Forever.
