Hey guys! Since I haven't uploaded anything in almost 3 weeks, I decided I was going to share something with you. I'm not entirely done with my newest chapter of What You'll Do for the One You Love but I almost am. I've just got to decide on an ending, then type it. I'll give you a hint though: It's to the song Somebody That I Used to Know because I love that song. :] I'll try to upload it this weekend if I can.
This story is not mine. My friend actually wrote it and wanted me to put it on here. She was kind of nervous putting this on here, so review below and tell her what you think! I think it's amazing, if I do say so myself.
She actually wrote this because for an English assignment, we had to write a 1 page short story. I did mine on Maltara, also, but I'll (maybe) upload that later, if I'm ever running behind on updating or something. So, this story is really short (1 page). She would've done more but it was strictly "1 page. No more, no less." So… Here you go!
Hold Your Peace
"You don't know that." I tried to believe her, my best friend since forever, Amy.
"Actually, I do know that. If I stop this wedding, it'll just embarrass both of us. That's why you need to do it…" she told me.
I knew that for sure. The man I loved was going to marry another. The thought… seemed weird and crazy. But it was real. It was happening. And here I was, daydreaming about actually having the nerve to run in screaming, "Don't say yes! Don't marry her! I love you!" Because, obviously, he didn't care about me anymore. If he did, he wouldn't be about to marry some other woman.
"He'd probably drop her hands right there, and run out of the church with you if you had asked. He'd do anything for you. You're Natara Williams! Your window was the one he came tapping on when he was upset with something or someone. Not mine, not Blaise's, not the bride's… Yours! He still loves you! He just doesn't want to admit it because he thinks that you don't love him back! That's the only reason he's marrying that other girl!" She wouldn't give up. She was gonna talk me into something stupid.
"Now, get in there and do something totally fearless and idiotic!" I had to smile at that.
"I'll probably end up chickening out, but thanks for the encouragement."
She dragged me down the hall towards the room where this was all taking place.
Natara Williams, the wedding crasher? I kind of liked that… The sound of it in my mind became smoother and easier to think by the time that the death march began. And down the aisle came the enemy, walking like a pageant queen. Before I knew it, she was hand in hand with the love of my life. Mal Fallon, who was mine. Not hers. Which is what brought up that cute little joke that Amy and I made in the dressing room, again.
Natara Williams, the wedding crasher. It fit perfectly at the moment. Cause, hey…. Love makes people do crazy, stupid, fearless things. And so, while the preacher spoke a few things, I waited for one particular sentence to start my insanity.
"Speak now or forever hold your peace."
There was silence for about 5 seconds. That is, until I slowly stood up, and spoke. Some love just can't hold peace.
*Author's Note*
Yeah, I don't like the ending either. Such a cliffhanger! But like I said, she couldn't do more than 1 page. Guess this is it! Please review!
