Nate's Prov
I woke up; fully clothed on top of my sheets, for a minute I lay there confused until I looked beside me. Caitlyn lay curled up at my side with her head on my chest, she looked so peaceful I couldn't help but smile at her.
Last night was amazing, every minute I got to kiss and hold her was better than I remembered.
She stirred slightly bringing me out of my thoughts, I held her tighter while her arm wrapped itself around my neck as she burrowed her head further into my chest. I stayed quiet for a while, until I heard her breath go slow and steady again.
I sighed in bliss as I rested my head on my head board, then I seen it, the suit, the suit I was supposed to be wearing to Caitlyn's wedding today. I slowly slid of my bed making sure I didn't wake Caitlyn and made my way towards the suit hanging on my wardrobe.
I frowned at it, as if I would get some sort of reaction from it. What was I doing? I thought to myself as I sat on the seat by the window looking at Caitlyn. It was her wedding day, and she spent the night with me, this was wrong.
From day 1 I've ruined things for Caitlyn and now I was going to take away the biggest day of her life, maybe even the love of her life. I mean she wouldn't have said "yes" if she didn't love him right? How could I be so selfish? I should have just walked out of her office that day, she must have been so confused because of our past she doubted her relationship with Andrew.
I don't want to screw this up for her now that in a couple of months she'd regret it. I couldn't do it to her and I don't think I could handle the pain of losing her again.

I opened my eyes slightly and looked around me I wasn't in my room. I opened my eyes wider, where was I? Then I seen him sitting on the seat by the window the golden tinge of sunlight framing his face making it look like he was glowing, Nate, my Nate.
Flashback
"Caity, what are you..."
Before he could finish I threw myself across the room into his arms and kissed him. As I kissed him I waited nervously for him to pull away but he didn't after a few minutes we had to come up for air.
"Caity." He smiled saying my name and I automatically saw the love that filled his eyes as he rubbed my cheek.
"Nate I..." But I was cut off by a door opening and another one closing.
"That's probably Shane or Jason using the bathroom, quick c'mon." Nate said pulling me towards his bedroom.
As we got to his door, the bathroom door opened and Nate shoved me into his room.
I heard him mutter a few words to someone before coming in behind me.
"Nate I..."
"Ssh." He smiled before taking me in his arms and kissing me.
End of Flashback
I wanted to continue watching him, and soak up every minute of this happiness I felt but a yawn gave me away.
He looked over at me, but something in his face wasn't quite right.
"Nate?" I whispered.
"Caitlyn..." His tone made it clear what was coming and tears automatically filled my eyes.
"No." I said shaking my head and sliding off his bed. "Nate, you can't be doing this to me." The tears were sliding down my cheeks now.
"Caity, please don't cry." He asked softly walking towards me.
"Oh, I'm sorry would you rather have me jumping up and down in excitement?" I asked sarcastically.
"No." He said simply. "But Caity who are we trying to fool we're a train wreck together you deserve to be with someone that can make you happy not one that always disappoints you."
"You make me happy." I said trying to wrap my arms around him.
"No I don't." He objected stepping out of my reach, his movement hurt me. "Caitlyn, since I've known you I've made you miserable more times than I've made you smile."
"No, you haven't."
"Caity, you're crying now and it's my fault."
"So, what? You just want me to forget last night and go off and marry Andrew?" I asked.
"I think that would be for the best."
"The best?" I shouted in disbelief. He couldn't have said anything worse, why didn't he see that the "best thing" to do was get back with him and call off this wedding.
"Ssh." He hushed.
His reaction was a red flag to a bull.
I rolled my eyes, "You don't have to "Ssh" me I'm leaving." And with that I turned my back to him and left.

"Caity." I whispered behind her but she was gone.
I sighed deeply throwing myself onto my bed.
You know I hate you, right? My conscience asked. You are a huge idiot.
This was the right thing to do, if we were meant to be it wouldn't be so hard.
No one said love was ever easy it argued back.
I only ever hurt her.
Now that I agree with but still she looked pretty gutted when you said you wanted her to forget about last night.
I shook my head wildly, I am not having a conversation with myself, so I did the only thing I knew would shut the voice in my head up, began playing the song that had came to me the day I found out Caitlyn was engaged.
Caitlyn's Prov
The whole way home I was muttering profanities about Nate and when I ran out of words I thought described him I ran through everything in my head. Why did that idiot think marrying Andrew was for the best when I spent last night with him? Speaking of, he didn't seem to remember Andrew last night when we were making out! At what point did he decide Andrew was better for me than he was? Or was it that I wasn't good enough for him?
Eugh, stupid men!
I stepped out of the elevator and walked towards my apartment, as I turned the corner I found Mitchie and Ella in sweats with curlers in their hair and their dresses in hand waiting outside my apartment.
I pulled out my compact quickly, to make sure they couldn't tell I was crying.
"Caitlyn." Mitchie said.
I closed my compact quickly, "Hi."
"Where were you? We should have been getting ready half an hour ago." Ella asked.
Crap, I hadn't really prepared myself on how to tell people this wedding wasn't happening. I couldn't marry someone knowing I had feelings for someone else.
"I...I..." C'mon Caitlyn just spit it out I told myself. "I..." Then again, Andrew has always been there for you and he never ever made you cry maybe Nate was right maybe marrying Andrew was the right thing to do.
"You what, Caity?" Mitchie asked.
"I was just out getting coffee can't be tired for my big day." I smiled walking past them and unlocking my door.
