"You look amazing," said the human. I could tell that he hated being here. It was the most horrible thing I've ever done to him, having him watch me marry someone who wasn't him.
"I'm grateful that you're here," I said with such emotion. I meant that with every fiber of my being. It killed me to go through with this wedding. I wanted nothing more than to leave here with Trip and never see Koss again. I only wanted Trip. He was all I needed, but I knew I couldn't have him. Or rather, shouldn't.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." I knew he meant it. The look he gave me was one of such dispair and sadness, but also loving. I would never forget that look.
"It's time," said my mother. She started walking out into the courtyard, and the group of people followed her. Trip and I were two of the last ones to head out.
The moment I saw Trip begin to turn from me and start to head out, I wanted to tell him exactly how I felt. I wanted to tell him how much I cared about him. I wanted to tell him that I loved him.
I knew it the exact moment I had chosen to marry Koss. That's when I hit me. I was going to lose him. I wanted nothing but him. But I also knew that I had to go through with this.
So, instead of saying anything to him, I grabbed his arm to stop him and I kissed him. It was a very quick kiss on the cheek but I hoped, through the kiss, he understood everything I couldn't say. I hoped he knew that my heart cried out for him, and always would.
