Harm's Apartment

The Next Day (the day of the wedding)

(Harm's POV)

2 hours and some odd minutes until the wedding. *longing sigh* Mac would know exactly how long...oh give it a rest Harm.it's over.

I've been sitting here trying to decide whether or not to go. On one hand, Mac IS my best friend and I don't know if she could forgive me for missing such an important even in her life. And on the other hand, Mac IS the woman I'm in love with so going just to see myself lose her for good just seems insane..

*groan * I have to do this..I have to go. I get up and head to my closet to get my suit....

St. Francis Catholic church

(Harm's POV)

ok, I'm here..sitting in the back....I spot Tiner, Gunny, and Lt. Singer closer to the front.

Mic's smile couldn't get any bigger.but enough about him...

A few minutes ago, Chloe walked up the aisle, in an adoreable dress throwing rose petals all the way.

Harriet and Bud have just walked in together and took their proper place at the altar.

A few more people come through and I shift uncomfortably in my seat. I can't do this...I need to go, but I have to see her. Even if it will feel like I've died inside..

The Bridal March starts, and my breath catches in my throat...in comes Mac on the Admiral's arm...she looks amazing, but then again.she always does.

I watch her intently as she passes and the pain I feel can't be put into words.

I sit motionless, listening to the proceedings...watching them join hands...uh-oh here we are..the part where people can object to this marriage..

Should I???? I'd love to..I can't though. I look around as silence falls over the church........no one's going to object. My throat is suddenly very dry...my hands are clammy..But No, I 'm not...

The priest continues and I watch her again....she looks happy..is she?

I can't take this anymore..I'm leaving..I can't do this, I tried.but...I'm out of here...

I quietly get up and exit and head to my vette.

I start the engine and emotionally whisper into the silence:

"Goodbye Sarah...."
