Summary: Rhys thinks over his relationship with Gwen after he watches her with Jack at their wedding.


I remember the first time that I met you, I thought I was the luckiest guy in the world just to get you to smile at me. Just watching the way that your smile lit up your eyes was like seeing just a little bit of Heaven right in front of me. You can call me a sap all you want, but it was true then and it still is now.

I thought I was the luckiest guy in the world when you agreed to go out with me. Me, of all people, when you deserved someone so much better. I didn't dwell on that thought too much because all I could see and think of then was how beautiful you'd been with the sun shining behind you when you said that wonderful word, "yes." I could have jumped for joy, screamed my happiness out for the entire world to hear. To hear that you were mine finally.

It was perfect - we were perfect. That is, up until you joined Torchwood. That was when I really saw that I cared more about you than you did for me. No matter where we were or what we were doing, the instant that cell phone of yours rang, you were gone in a flash. I'd stare after you, confused and hurt, wondering when everything had been flushed to hell. I was angry, so I took it out on you when we were together, which only managed to push you away even more.

When you agreed to marry me, I thought everything was finally falling back into place and that we'd be perfect again. You let me believe it, and then you broke my heart on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. Right after we danced and you gave me that bright, lovely smile, you moved right onto the one who seemed to have replaced me in your eyes.

Jack bloody Harkness.

I saw the way you looked at him when you two danced. You beamed at him like you'd never beamed at me before and right then, something in me cracked. I love you, more than words can describe, and so I'll stay with you however long you can put up with me, because you will always be the one for me.

But what about when you've had enough of me?

What will happen to us, then, Gwen?

I think I'd rather be dead than ever find out the answer to that.


R&R please and thank you :D!
