Chapter 15
After the chaos, everyone began to head back inside.
"Honey, are you sure you're okay?" Kristin asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine. My ribs hurt a little, but probably nothing serious."
"Okay. Are you sure though? We can put the wedding off. Call a doctor?"
"No no! Im fine! Now c'mon!"
Sean and Kristin walked down the aisle arm in arm. They shared a gentle kiss before the priest began to speak.
"Well that was unexpected..." he said. "So, do you Kristin Chenoweth take Sean Hayes as your lawful wedded husband? Through sickness and health? For rich or for poor?"
"I do." she placed the ring on his finger and began to cry. "Uhm, Sean and I wrote little vows to each other. So here's mine: Sean from the first moment I saw you I knew we had something special. I fell in love with you the first time I looked into your eyes. I'm so happy that I get to share the rest of my life with you. Thank you for always being there for me and being so loyal. I love you and I always will."
The room was filled with various "awww's" and Sean also began to cry. But, a few moments after Kristin had finished, Sean got a funny look on his face. He dropped to the ground on his knees looking at Kristin. She screamed and dropped down beside him.
"SEAN! SEAN! HONEY ARE YOU OKAY?"
He began to cough up blood. He grabbed his side and began wheezing. Kristin's parents frantically called 911. Sean barely had enough breath, but was able to whisper to Kristin "I love you. I'm sorry." He lay there curled up in a ball at the alter coughing up more and more blood.
"Sean! No! What's happening?" she grabbed him and began to hug him. Their closest friends and family raced up to join them. "SEAN! HONEY!" Kristin kept screaming. She tore off his tux and saw his chest. There was an odd bump where his ribs were. "Oh no." She knew what had happened. Aaron must have broken one of his ribs and it punctured something. A lung, an artery...she didn't know. She just knew that she wanted him to be okay again.
The paramedics arrived and scooped Sean up and put him onto a gernie. Kristin was bawling her eyes out. She never wanted to see her love like this. She got into the ambulance as well and they zoomed off to the hospital. She heard the 'beep beep' of the equipment. A sound she despised. She held Sean's hand.
"Please. Sean. I love you. Stay with me." Remembering the night they first learned of their feelings for each other she said "I'm never letting go."
