I can't believe I actually did it! The adrenaline inside my blood system is accelerating, I kept pushing down the gas paddle, and the scenery is a blur Eli laughs as his grip on my right hand tightens. A huge smile is spread in both our faces, as we keep riding to god knows where. Right now I don't care, I have the man of my dreams running away with me. I steal a glance at Eli, his dark-brown almost black hair is flying in all directions, his red tie is un-done hanging loosely around his neck, his right hand is up in the air, he loves the production of the wind hitting his face, swatting his front bangs out of his eyes, giving me a clear view of those emeralds, the ones that pierce out like stars to me. He sees me staring and he smirks, I blush a darker shade. He leans closer and gives me a quick peek on my lips and as in cue, my whole body temperature shoots up, my legs feel like mush. I fill like I'm on cloud nine…. I know at this moment that I made the right decision….
Rewind 1 HOUR…
I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
I stare at the dreaded fancy envelope that's lying on top of my wooden dresser, it has a silver/purple ribbon tie around it. Guess she didn't want a black one? It's laid next to the plain white one. The fancy envelope has mocking me for what seems all of today, cursive fancy writing is what it contains inside. I glare as I open it for the million-th time this week it seems, the words are bore into my mind, each one hurting more the one before it:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~you are courtly invited to~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amanda Charleston
And
Elijah Goldsworthy's wedding
On June 10, 2010 at the chapel of San Max
Start time: 4'oclock
End time: 7' o'clock
For reservations please call….
I try taking a steady breath, as my heart breaks once again. I look at my clock hanging on the white wall, it reads 3:30 I bite my lip as I absent mindedly pick up the plain white envelope and my car keys and rush out of the house in my light-blue sundress racing into my red convertible…
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family, all dressed in pastel
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
This is surely not what you thought it would be
I loose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say:
I reached san max in a matter of minutes, I take a huge breath trying to calm down my nerves. I noticed how excarvelent the place looks. Silver ribbons all round, balloons of white are arched in front of the chapel. The door are guarded by two large man, Amanda's body guards, I discreetly make my way to the back of the chapel and open the door in the back, I step inside, I'm running of time as I hear Amanda yell at her bridesmaid from the slightly ajar door "10 minutes! Get in your place!" her dress is like a three layered cake the middle layer holding a slight bump, each layer increases as it reaches the floor. I shake my head and bite back this shuffling laughter and duck behind the curtains as I see her sister dressed in pastel come around the corner, holding my mouth I close my eyes and hold still waiting for the worst but it never comes….
As I stand there in the illuminating darkness I start to lose my focus and daydream both of us holding hands smiling as we run away from this dreaded place, the people in the background becoming blurry as we get closer to the exit.
"Don't say yes, run away now
Ill meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said, speak now."
I'm snapped out to my fantasy as the organ begins to play what seems like a funeral hum, I peak out and what I see makes me lose all scene of vision, and speak, I see a god standing on the end of the aisle wearing a black tux, and blaring red tie. His hair is combed back, and he has his uneven lips pressed together in a thin line, his one gorgeous eyes are emotionless and lifeless, his facial expression is hard to read, the bridesmaid and maiden of honor appear with fake smiles. I see her snotty family exchange a glace, the money is within reach . the flower girl bounces out dropping lilies on the floor, I remember how much you hate them, I mentally scoff…next comes out your wife to be, she takes her precious time walking down the red carpet. All eyes on her, she just loves the attention, winking at a guy that seems to be her true lover, and the father of her un-born child. I turn to look at you and your face remains unfazed, but your green eyes tell me other wise ….
Fun gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play
A song that sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be
She floats down the isle like a pageant queen
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me don't you?
I bite my lip as I try to fight the urge to run out and grab your hand making you show some sign of emotion, but I stay put, as the scene slowly becomes a reality to me, time keeps ticking away and I'm slowly going insane….
Don't say yes, run away now
Ill meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
They said, speak now.
Don't say yes, run away now
Ill meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out
And they said, speak now.
Is my time out? I find a seat in the back and I sit, refusing to cry right now, I don't know this feeling its like my whole world is slowly crushing down on me and I have no control of it. I change my mind and quietly stand up and step outside the wooden doors, trying to stabilize my rapid breathing and heartbeat. I still hear it loud and clear….
I hear the preacher say
Speak now or forever hold your peace
There's a silence
There's my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands
All eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room,
But I'm only lookin at you
"If any one has a reason why these two should not wed please speak now or forever hold your peace" the preacher exclaims. You turn your back slightly pleading with your eyes but your facial expression keeps Adam bolted to his seat. He sees how miserable you are but he's a true friend and understands why you are doing this. you were caught in a horrible lie, your innocent but you don't know…yet… with a shaky breath I force my Jell-O feet to raise burst open the wooden doors causing a loud echoing whooshing sound to be heard around the chapel , all eyes turn to the source of the sound, horrified spread all across their faces but relief-meant on Adams, I extend my left hand that has your skull ring, your eyes suddenly widen when you see me standing there , our eyes lock and it feels like I'm flying….
I'm am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marryin the wrong girl,
"I do!" I speak as clearly and loudly as possible, I rush down the aisle to have you met me half way as I hand you the envelope. "Read it" I softly voice, you immediately tear it open dropping the envelope on the petal of the lilies and pull out the pink sheets of paper. Its from the clinic, as you read I see your expression change quickly, Amanda stands there with lilies in her palms she throws them and rushes to us, she's angry but Adam steps in and prevents her from ascending anymore, the rest of the invited guest remain silent, glued to their seats, they want to know what the envelope contains…the papers fall from your hands closing themselves as you look up to me and wrap your arms around me and kiss me in the middle of the chapel in the middle of her family and yours. I giggle as a school girl, the kiss making me feel like mush once again, you place me down to the ground and grab my hand, intertwining our fingers together and without warning we run out….Adam turns to the guest and says "there's no longer a wedding" lets go of Amanda and leaves closing the wooden door on the surprised and frozen guests….
Mrs. Goldsworthy picks up the fallen piece of paper and extends it open and read out loud….
The DNA sample produced from Mr. Elijah Goldsworthy does not match the baby inside Ms. Amanda Charleston, therefore he is not the father of the unborn child. We did in fact test the DNA sample of Mr. Samuel Roberson and concluded that he is indeed the father of the child. The following pages will show you the readings, and charts of….
So don't say yes, run away now
Ill meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said, speak now.
FAST FORWARD 1 HOUR…
we kept driving, I had a destination now, I was going to go the park where Eli and I first had our kiss, where we finally lost god's precious gift to each other that one summer night. Eli wrapped his arm around my shoulder pressing our bodies closer, I saw him close his eyes from the from the front mirror, he slowly started to drift to sleep but before he did , he kissed my already redden cheek "thank you, for saving me from make what could possible have been the biggest mistake of my life" I smile and he dozes off before I have a chance to reply…
And you say,
Let's run away now
Ill meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door
Baby, I didn't say my vow
So glad you were around they said,
Speak now.
