Well all good things must come to an end…who ever made that phrase up should be shot, or get the shit beaten out of them…I had a good thing, and naturally it came to an end…It was after x-mas about 2 weeks before the wedding…or what most labeled the wedding from hell…just because it was Mark and because it was literally causing so many problems…and getting to be one big stress attack after another for the both of us…Vanessa and Jakie were on the tour with us…and then would fly back to Houston with us to be in the wedding…
I had just gotten off the phone with the caterer…when I walked into Mark's dressing room and when I closed the door behind me, I said, "Mark, I swear I'll never question you again…the next time you want to elope…just let me know…I'll be all up for it…I was insane to thing I could pull off this wedding with out any kind of drama…"
Mark said, "Nyla, come sit down I need to talk to you…" I said, "How's come I feel like the boom is getting ready to be lowered?" Mark said, "I really have to tell you something…I can't marry you…" I said, "The boom has been lowered…What are you talking about?" Mark said, "I eloped about 5 months ago…" I said, "Wait a minute…how's that possible…I live with you…I'm engaged to you, so how did you elope without me knowing it?" Mark said, "It was pretty easy, especially when the tour drove right through Las Vegas…"
I swear to God I thought I was going to throw up…I stood up and said, "You're not even joking…you're serious aren't you?" Mark looked down and said, "I'm afraid so…" I said, "That's why you've been acting all weird lately…how did you get married to someone else…and yet still be engaged to me…" Mark said, "I fell out of love with you a long time ago…I just didn't have the heart to tell you…"
I could feel my heart beating faster and faster inside my chest…I thought it was going to explode…I said, "Oh you're right about one thing…you don't have a heart…Just who in the hell did you run off and marry anyway?" Mark swallowed hard and said, "Sara…" I put my hand over my mouth, because now I knew I was going to puke…
A thought came into my mind and I had tears swelling in my eyes, threatening to fall and I said, "Have you been having sex with the both of us?" Mark said, "Afraid so…and Sara just found out she's pregnant…" That's all it took, the tears started to slide down my cheeks like a huge waterfall…I said, "Jesus Christ Mark, what the hell was you waiting for? I mean could there have been a better time to tell me this bullshit…you know sometime like before we got engaged and decided to get married…I can't believe this…who knows about this?"
Mark said, "Just me and Sara…no one else knows…I couldn't tell you, you were always so happy about the wedding…" I said, "What, were you just thinking about leaving me at the alter, just not show up for the wedding? Well, I have to be honest, I would of rather you did that, cause at least I wouldn't have to look at you right now, and be so heart broken but yet disgusted at the same time…I'm gonna be sick."
I took off out and down the hall…and ran into the ladies restroom…and held my hair back and just totally threw up about 7 times…I sat on the floor leaning against the stall and started crying…Trish came in the bathroom when she saw me run by and said, "Oh my gosh, Nyla, are you okay?" I couldn't even answer her cause I was crying so hard…
Trish didn't know what to do, so she ran and got Vanessa…Vanna ran in and she sat next to me on the floor…and just held me while I cried…she didn't push to make me talk, she knew what ever it was…it was bad…and as soon as she found out what it was about, it was going to get a whole lot worse. Trish sat with us on the floor, when I started to calm down I finally was able to tell Vanessa the wedding was off, because he had actually gone and gotten married…and I didn't even know…
