(Author's note: I don't always have ideas for the characters for their points of views except for Sean and Emma so every chapter will have Sean's and Emma's POV and maybe Manny Jay and Spinner's POV but they may not have all of them in some of the chapters)
Sean's POV
As Manny and Jay explained everything I was in complete shock. Emma and Spinner? I would never think those two getting together. I mean Spinner and I are suppose to be friends. He knew how I felt about Emma and to get married right after a break up is just stupid. I mean unless him and Emma break up and she took me back.
"Sean you okay?" Jay asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." I said.
"Okay good we thought you would totally go and ruin Emma's wedding" Manny said.
"Yeah and totally try to win Emma back" laughed Jay. I look at the both of them with a serious look.
"I never said I wasn't going to try to win Emma back" I said.
"Sean you can't Emma is finally happy with her life" Manny said.
"Yeah man and she did turn you down last time remember" Jay said.
I think about the last time and how I had come back from basic training to see her before I left for the desert and how she had moved on and wouldn't take me back. It was horrible in front of a bunch of people after I poured my heart out to her she turned me down for that Damian kid who I found out cheated on her on prom night. If I wasn't away I would have totally kicked his ass for doing that to Emma.
"Sean, for Emma's sake please don't try anything" Manny pleaded.
"Manny, I love her, I've loved her ever since I laid my eyes on her" I stand up and walk over to the window looking out picturing Emma walking out with Spinner thinking that should be me not him. I had been the one who saved her life I was the one who she made love with for the first time I was the one who had the pregnancy scare with. The only thing I didn't do was always be there for her, but that was the old scared high school Sean. Here I am the new and improved Sean not scared of anything except losing her again.
"Sean, my man, listen to my lady" Jay said.
"Fine I won't go after her, but if we cross paths and she comes to me I'm not holding any promises." I said.
Emma's POV
I sat on my bed thinking about how in just a few days how I would become Mrs. Gavin "Spinner" Mason. It seemed so surreal. I am happy with everything, but lately Sean has been on my mind and brought to my attention the last time I had talked to him had been about two years ago. When he came back and told me in front of everyone at Marco's party that he loved me and I had rejected him since he had left me heartbroken when he left for boot camp. It was my decision to break up with him and I had found someone new who I was head over heels for at the time till he cheated on me. I mean since I declined Sean I never felt like I should write him and he never wrote to me so what did it matter. If he had loved me he would have written me until I took him back. I mean the only worse case scenario I could think of is that maybe something happened during his deployment and maybe me thinking about Sean was really Sean trying to tell me that.
A single tear falls down my face. What if something awful really did happen to him and I had put him in the back of my mind and was having fun when somewhere out there in the middle of some desert he could be gone. Gone for good. That could never happened Sean had told her family he was in good shape and told them how he was a good solider. So nothing should be wrong.
I look at the clock in my room and it read 2:30am. What was I doing up so late thinking about Sean I should be trying to get some sleep. I turn out my light get under the covers then close my eyes.
Music starts to play as I look around and everyone is dancing wearing lavish gowns and impeccable tuxedos and masks. I walk out to the balcony looking at the beautiful night sky. I'm wearing a beautiful strapless yellow chiffon goddess gown with a white laced mask. I take a deep breath thinking no one will ask me to dance when all of the sudden a familiar song starts to play.
It was an average day, dull in every way
Until, until the sun broke through.
It wasn't in the sky, no
The light came from her eyes
She turned, turned the grey sky blue.
It was the song that was played at my parents wedding all those years ago.
"May I have this dance" a charming voice I don't recognize said. I turn around seeing him. He wore a mask and some type of uniform like military like. I couldn't place him.
"Of course" I put my hand out like you see in all though romantic movies. He takes my hand and walks us to the middle of the ballroom and everyone watches us as we start to dance.
On that cold September morning
I saw her in the rain.
To me she was the moon and stars the world
She was Just Jane.
But she's everything to me, she is just Jane.
And she's all I'll ever need.
She gives more than she takes
And she takes my breath away.
Yeah in the words I should always be just Jane
But because of her, my world has changed
Oh yeah
I look into his eyes as we dance close and he looked into mine.
"Emma" he starts to say.
"You know my name" I said.
"Of course I do" he said.
"If you know mine I must know yours" I said.
"Emma you should try to forget me" he said.
I stare at him blankly.
"What do you mean I don't know who you are so how could I" I asked totally confused.
"The reason is because I'm" he starts to take off his mask.
Manny's POV
"Emma wake up" I said as I shook my best friend awake.
"Manny go away I'm tired" Emma said her head in her pillow. She could be so lazy in the morning.
"Come on Em get your lazy butt out of bed. We gotta go to your dress fitting in like fifteen minutes".
"What" Emma gets out of bed super fast starting to get ready. That got her up.
"Why didn't anyone get me up earlier?" Emma asked.
"Well your parents and Jack went out early this morning and they wanted me to make sure you didn't miss your appointment" I said with a smile on my face.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier then?" She asked as she quickly did her hair and did her make up.
"I've been trying to wake you up for like two hours now. You must of had such an amazing dream even I couldn't wake you up". I said. She shrugged.
"I don't really remember" she said.
"Sure you don't" I smirked.
"Can we talk about it later we gotta get to my dress fitting" She said as she rushed me down to my car and gets into the passenger side. I started the car and we drove down to the bridal shop.
I sat on the couch waiting for Emma to come out in the gown. I looked through a wedding magazine since I had my own wedding to plan for the future.
Emma walks out I look up and smile. "You look amazing Em"
"You really think so "Emma said as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Its not to much is it?"
"No its just perfect" I smile. "Spinner is totally going to love it"
When I saw Spinner's name she looks a little sad.
"What's wrong Em?" I asked.
"Its nothing" she said trying not to cry.
Something was obviously wrong.
"Emma what's going on?" I asked.
"Its just recently I have been thinking about Sean and how all those years ago I thought he would be the one I would be getting married to" Emma said as she sits on the couch.
"Emma? You haven't talked to Sean in years" I looked at her confused did Sean go back on his word.
"Exactly here I am getting ready to get married and being all happy. I don't know what's going with him I mean for all I know he could be dead." Emma said as tears start to fall down here.
"Emma what makes you say that?" I wasn't going to be the one to tell her he was in town.
"Its just like that day in the restaurant when I thought I saw him." Emma said.
"Yeah, but you didn't" I said.
"What if it was him saying goodbye to me you know spiritual ya know" Emma said taking a tissue trying to stop the tears from getting on the dress.
"Em" I couldn't tell her not now.
"You think if it was his spirit he was telling me he approves of Spinner and I being together" Emma said.
"Emma, you don't know if he is gone or not" I said.
"But no one has heard from him since like forever I mean it just seems like it is a possibility" Emma looks down.
"Emma you are marrying Spinner and Sean doesn't control who you marry or fall in love with" I said to her.
"You're right" Emma said with a sniffle.
"Yup so what do you say you go get change and we go get something to eat" I said with a smile.
"Sounds good to me" Emma said trying to smile. It sucks lying about Sean its just its for her own good.
