Chapter 7
Javier's words clawed at Katey's heart. She stood dumfounded, a statue on the alter. She jumped, Ben's icy touch melting her feelings for him. Wiping away her tears, she picked up her dress and scurried off the alter. Nearly falling, she kicked off her heels and ran down the aisle after Javier. "Javier, wait!"
"Ahh," Jeannie fainted into Bert's arms. Dominic tried to get out of the pew, but Susie stopped him.
Pushing through the heavy doors, Katey escaped into the lobby of St. Mary's Church.
"Javi, wait," Katey grabbed his shoulder. "I…"
"Katey," Javier interrupted. "What were you thinking? Do you realize how much you've torn up our family? Damaged our relationship? Messed up our kids?"
"Javier, I'm…"
"I missed so much of Julie's childhood because you can't take an apology," Javier was really close to her face.
"No," Katey wouldn't let him interrupt her this time. "You started this. Times got tough and you backed out. You left me to raise two little kids on my own…"
"I came back when I realized my mistake…"
"And by then I had moved on. Don't you see it? We wouldn't be here if you hadn't been an idiot and ran out during the tough times."
"I'm sorry, Katey," Javier was crying now, "whatever your choice, just know that I love you and I always will." He turned to leave, but Katey's hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"No," She replied firmly. "I lost you twice already, I won't lose you again."
