Chapter 1
21 year old Gabriella Montez sat nervously in the room she was in as she fiddled with the necklace around her neck. Today was the day Gabriella was getting married to the man she adored and had given her whole heart to, Ryan Evans. Ryan and Gabriella had gotten together few years ago and since then their whole relationship had gotten a lot stronger. Ryan was the one person Gabriella trusted more than anyone any one and was always the one who was there when she needed him. In just a short while, after several long months of planning, she would finally become Mrs Gabriella Evans.
"Knock, knock." Gabriella turned to see her mom peep her head around the door. "How you feeling?"
"Nervous. Excited. Scared. Take your pick." Gabriella watched her mom shake her head.
"It's normal to have so many feelings right now. I mean I was worse than you on your father and I's wedding day. I mean I started going around sneaking behind posts just to make sure who was there and would listen outside your father's room just to make sure he hadn't run off." Gabriella smiled before she painful look came across her face. "You ok?"
"I don't know. I've suddenly got this pain in my chest and my heart beat is racing I can feel. It started this morning about 9am." Gabriella explained.
"I'm sure it's nothing. You're probably stressed with everything that has been going on and it's just catching up with you and trying to scare you. I want you to make sure when you go on honeymoon you take a good chance to rest because you need it." Gabriella nodded as the two sat in the room talking happily about what the future would hold for Gabriella and Ryan.
About 20 minutes before the wedding, there was a knock on the door. Calling for whoever it was to come in, Gabriella looked back and saw Ryan's parents walk in.
"You look astounding Gabriella sweetheart." Mrs Evans complimented as Gabriella smiled and happily accepted the hug from her future in-laws.
"What are you doing in here? Not that I mind." Gabriella asked.
"We have some news. It's about Ryan. He's not here." Gabriella's eyes widened. He had stood her up? He wasn't coming? What?
"What?" Gabriella asked.
"He's not here anywhere. We've looked everywhere he might be but we can't find him anywhere or get in touch with him. Some of his friends are looking around for him. I'm sorry Gabriella." Mr Evans explained.
"I want to wait. He still has 20 minutes to get here and if he's not then I will think about it after that." The parents knew it was no use trying to change her mind and just hoped Ryan would come to his senses and get there soon.
It was finally time for the ceremony to start and Gabriella walked out her room to see Mr Evans shake his head. Taking in a deep breath she walked through the doors and quickly up to the alter surprising people with her sudden appearance.
"I'm sorry to say but the wedding is off since as you can probably already see the groom isn't here. You are all very welcome to carry on to the reception because we have already paid for the food and there is no point letting it go to waste. Thank you." Gabriella ran up the aisle and out the main doors where she collapsed once she reached the grass to the church ceremony. She cried and let all her emotions out at how hurt and angry she was at being stood up like that and then having to address people about it all too.
"It's going to be ok." Gabriella heard her mother's comforting words as she wrapped her arms around her and cried into her shoulder.
"I love him mom. I love him so much. I don't know what I did wrong to make him feel he couldn't go through with this. I hate him for doing this and I'm never going to forgive him." Gabriella carried on sobbing as guests left the church, most of them giving sympathetic looks at Gabriella who didn't see as she was too wrapped up in trying to let her mom comfort her.
Wiping away her tears, the two stood up. "I'm sorry mom."
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I think you need to talk to Ryan to help you move on from this and find out why he isn't here. Just know whatever happens you will always have me." Gabriella smiled.
"I know. Thanks mom." Just as Gabriella went to walk inside to change, she heard a very deep and masculine voice come from behind her.
"Gabriella Montez?"
"Yes." Gabriella answered nervously as her mom and the Evans walked over to her and the police officer that had been calling her.
"I'm afraid I have some very bad news Miss Montez. Earlier this morning around 9am, Ryan Evans was involved in a serious accident and right now he is in hospital. The doctors don't know what is going to happen because he is in a critical condition and at the moment they reckon he will only survive a few more hours if lucky." He told them as they all gasped in horror, tears falling from Gabriella's eyes.
"Where is he?" Gabriella asked.
"New York general hospital. If you like we could take you down there ma'am." The police officer offered.
"Thank you. Meet me at the hospital?" She asked the three parents who agreed as Gabriella followed the man to the car and jumped in. If only Gabriella knew how much this one trip would soon start to change her whole life.
