Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, except Annie. The story is mine, but not the setting and the other characters.

A/N: Just a new piece I want to work on. lemme know if any of you enjoy it, sorry if it's a little weird. haha. Just leave me a review with ideas, or constructive critisism. Thanks.

Shane Pierce. The love of my life, but also, the man who broke my heart. We never dated. Not one single day. But I tried. Over and over again. Literally, asked him if he would date me. But he turned and laughed. He said I was too young for him. He looked at me like I was a child, but I wasn't I was 16.

16 years old. Just 4 years younger than him. How was I too young? He was never too old for me! It broke my heart to hear him say that.

Now, I'm 26. And I just heard that he's getting married. I couldn't believe it. MARRIED??? Shane Pierce??? Yeah, right! But, its true. Right here on good old Harper's Island. A wedding. The wedding will consists of the whole town, of what? 30 people tops. Yeah, great wedding.

I was invited. But I said no thanks. Its hard enough trying to get it through my head that I can't be with him. Let alone, have to watch him give himself to another woman. A woman, who should be me.

"Annie, please. I know that he would love it if you were there. So why don't you go for him?" Jimmy looked at me and smiled. My brother was always trying to make me feel better when it came to Shane. Despite all the hard feelings he has over the situation, him and Shane have been friends since they could talk.

"I can't. I just can't see him get married. I love him. And I can't see him gone forever. Jimmy, please understand. I just can't get hurt anymore."

"I do understand. But maybe it'll help you. Just think about it okay?"

"Yeah, I'll think about it, but it'll still be a no."

So I thought about it. Long and hard. I barely slept for the next week. Because everytime I closed my eyes I say him kiss her. I saw him kissing Nikki. That's why Nikki and I don't talk anymore. We were best friends. But she stole him from me, because she was older and more beautiful.

It was a 4 days until the wedding.

"Jimmy, I've made my decision."

"Okay. And??"

"I'll go."

"I'm glad you're being mature about this. He'll love to see you there, and Nikki will too."

"Yeah, I hope so."

DAY OF WEDDING

Walking into the church was hard. My heart felt heavy, and as soon as I laid eyes on Shane, it burst. Tears welled in my eyes, and threatened to fall. But, I wouldn't let them. I kept them in. He saw me. SHIT! He smiled. I tried to smile, but instead I turned away. I couldn't look at him. It hurt too much. Then I felt someone touch my arm…

"Hey, it's okay. You'll be alright. I'm here with you and I won't leave your side at all, okay? I promise."

"Thank Jimmy. I wouldn't have come if it weren't for you. I couldn't have."

The wedding progressed. It was now time for Nikki to walk down the aisle. The music started up. My throat felt dry. I hated this. Why had I come? All I'm doing is hurting myself.

I saw Nikki walk around the corner, her father at her arm walking with her. She looked beautiful. She didn't know I was here. She saw me, and smiled so big, tears rolled down her cheeks. I smiled back and waved. I felt my face get hot. I knew I was about to cry. This time, I let myself. She got down to the end of the aisle. Her dad gave her away and Shane smiled at her, but the smile looked off for some reason. It wasn't his normal smile. It was almost, sad.

As the priest began to talk Shane dropped Nikki's hands. She looked at him and nodded. They began whispering and she nodded. Tears falling down her face more quickly than before. She looked at me. Shane turned and looked at me. He smiled. But this smile wasn't sad, it was happy. I looked at Jimmy.

"Shane wants to talk to you." Jimmy smiled and told me to meet Shane in the back of the room, try to be inconspicuous he said. Me? Haha. Yeah right.

I got up from my seat and moved quickly to the back. Shane ran back to meet me. As soon as we were out of sight, He grabbed my hands and kissed me. It was amazing…

Next thing I knew, I woke up….

I was 16 still, and very much in love with Shane. Wow, I've really gotta not take Nyquil when I'm sick.

A/N: Hope y'all liked it. Just throwing new ideas around. Review! :) Please. haha.
