Yes i know this chapter is short, but i promise the next chapter is longer and the rest of the chapters also.
Penelope was sitting at the bar. She is half way to being sloshed. She has loved him for six years. And she knew this day was coming and she thought she was prepared for it. She really thought she was, but now that it was crunch time, she knew she wasn't. He had finally met someone, the love of her life was finally marrying someone else.
And as much as she loved him, and as much as he wanted his best friend there with him, she knew she could not stay around and watch him marry someone else.
She knows that she is not the girl for him, and that the girl he is marrying was right for him, but it still broke her heart knowing that he was finally taken, and that he would never be hers.
She had always lived with that little bit of hope, you know the little bit of hope that could never really be killed. But now it had been taken out of her hands.
Maybe she should have told him how she felt, but to be honest she realised that if after six years he hadn't fallen in love with her, then he never would and telling him wasn't going to change that she thought sadly. So now after six years, it was time to move on. She picked up her purse and left the bar, knowing what she had to do.
