Summary: Way overdue. We all know that Chrissie and Owen were meant for each other, even through infidelity and lies. What they have is so perfect that it cannot be denied.
Chrissie wants Owen. Owen wants Diane. Diane wants Ric. But when Owen decided to change his mind and throw everything that he had with Diane away, is it what Chrissie really wants?
A/N: This is an alternate storyline exploring the rocky ChrissieOwen relationship we all know and love. I am a huge ChrissieOwen fan and I just thought of a different way everything could have happened. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Like I say, sadly I don't own a damn thing.
Chapter 2- It's done
He saw Chrissie weeping as he stood at the alter waiting for Diane to walk down the isle. 'She doesn't give up does she?' But he thought that maybe she was feeling upset that her emotion warranted her to be able to cry. He could never understand women, that was his weakness, they just worked so differently to men.
He knew he and Chrissie had shared a lot of love between them, he couldn't deny that there were so many sparks, from the day she bought him at the charity auction. So many sparks throughout their short-lived marriage. But then he couldn't deny the pain that she had so readily caused him. He remembered what it felt like, and he didn't want to do the same thing to Diane. He didn't want her to hurt like he hurt, but he didn't want to feel that he was marrying Diane to be noble.
He loved her, didn't he? He gazed at Chrissie sadly. She met his eyes and they stared at each other. Her eyes never faltered as she gazed at him intently, not once did she blink. This surprised him, he couldn't believe that she was able to look him in the eye after what had been said half an hour ago. More so, he wa surprised that he could still look at her.
In those couple of minutes their eyes never left each other. Diane had appeared at the foot of the isle. She looked beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful. She had made more of an effort with her appearance, for once, she was showing off her figure. Owen didn't really notice he was so caught up with Chrissie. All onlookers thought his expressionless face was out of admiration for his beautiful wife to be, not out of awe and compassion for another young woman for whom they had all believed his infatuation was over, and when he suddenly realised what had happened, he turned and smiled at Diane and they proceeded on with the wedding.
Chrissie couldn't watch, no matter how strong she wanted to be, she couldn't prevent the soft tears from falling. She closed her eyes feeling the tears caress her skin as they trickled down her cheeks, naturally lodging in the crevices of her pale, pained face before they died on her lips. She welcomed the bitter, salty taste of the water as it met her tongue, it reminded her of reality. It reminded her that nothing was perfect, especially not him.
It was not until she arrived home that the reality of what she had just witnessed really sunk in, she was dazed as she congratulated the happy couple, although she did manage to notice Owens look of pity, she didn't want his pity! She wanted his love. She wanted him to return the feelings she had expressed for him. Tricia lay a comforting arm around her and comforted her as she sobbed on her shoulder, but now she was alone, she was able to let out what she was really feeling.
A high pitched scream escaped her cracked lips as she threw herself down hard onto the bed. Tears casaded freely down her face, but she didn't care. She was finally letting out all of the pain and anguish she had been feeling as Diane and Owens relationship had progressed. She didn't care who heard her.
She didn't want to have to hold it in any more. She didn't want to keep it all bottled up. She was happy to finally be able to show herself what she had been feeling. She was happy to be able to let out all of that pent up anger, and sorrow and love. And as a puddle of tears collected on her pillow she cried herself into a peaceful, dreamless sleep.
A/N: Okay, I hope you all enjoyed the second chapter :D Review my faithful reviewers!
