Have you ever loved someone? Have you ever had your heart broken so badly that you were afraid that you could never put it back together? By that one person that you loved more than anything¾more than life itself¾and would do anything for that person. Your best friend? Your protector? What about your Jedi master?
It was the day that my Jedi master, Luke Skywalker, was going to get married. The only problem was that I was in love with him. Mara wasn't the one for him, I was.
She refused to let him invite me to the wedding because she said I would be a danger¾I am half Werewolf and half Vampire¾. So I snuck in, and hid in the heavy purple velvet curtains.
I peek out and see his "beautiful bride" yelling at her brides-made. How could anyone be so mean? I thought. Her family is dressed in ugly pastel clothing, she is in a dress that makes her look like a gross orange puff pastry.
The organ player starts to play a song that sounds like it belongs at a funeral, and Mara floats down the isle acting like she is at a fashion show. I have a strong feeling that Luke wishes it was me… I hope.
The room is completely silent, anticipation and anxiety fill the room. The preacher says "Speak now or forever hold your peace."
It is so quiet that all I could hear is the beat of my heart. This is your last chance. I think to myself.
I come out from the curtains, my hands are shaking violently. Everyone is giving my horrified looks, especially Mara who looks like she is about to explode; But I'm only looking at Luke, his deep ocean blue eyes full of sadness. I feel a tear roll down my face. Am I really crying? I thought as I pulled myself together, wiping away the tears.
I swallow hard, then with a shaky voice I say. "I am not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on your wedding. But you're not the kind of guy who should be marrying the wrong girl!" I look around, then back to you. "Don't say yes, run away now! I'll meet you when you're out of the Church. Don't say a single vow!" I am practically pleading now. "Luke! Please hear me out!" My heart feels like it is breaking, my stomach is churning, I feel like I'm going to be sick. "I need you, Luke." I say quietly.
He pulls away from Mara's tight grip and walks over to me. He embraces me in his arms. "Lets go." He says with a smile.
Now back at the temple we stand watching the sunset.
"I'm sorry for ruining your wedding, I¾." I try to say before he kisses me on the lips.
"I'm so glad you were around when they said Speak Now." He smiled.
