'Hello'
Chloe said, as she answered her mobile.
'You will never guess what' Emma screamed down the phone.
'What now Emma' Chloe said less than enthusiastic.
'Bryan, Bryan proposed to me' I went silent, I couldn't believe it, I knew
it would happen sooner or later, but why now. My heart felt heavy, I was
to late, God why did I not say I loved him sooner.
'Chloe are you there' Emma asked calming down
'That's great Emma' I replied quietly
'You could sound more happy for me'
'I am, believe me I am Emma, it's come as a bit of a shock that’s all' I
was on the verge of tears, I loved him, my world had shattered before me,
in a matter of seconds.
'Anyway I was just wondering if you would be my maid of honor at the
wedding' Emma asked anxiously.
'Urm yeah sure I'd love to, listen Emma I have to go, I'll talk to you
later about it, ok'
'Yeah sure bye'
'Bye' Chloe put the phone down and broke down in a flood of tears.
*Wedding day*
*Morning after hen night*
The sound of her alarm woke Chloe, from a drunken sleep. 'Sugar' Chloe
mumbled to herself as she stumbled outta bed. She looked in her mirror,
she looked a right state from last night, and they only arrived home at
5am that morning and she just climbed into bed in the same clothes. Anyway
she didn't have time to mess around, she grabbed her bag and ran out the
front door, no time to drive to Emma’s she decided to run the three
blocks. Only problem was, she had to pass Bryan's house in the process and
she knew the lads would just be arriving. Sure or not she was right,
Shane, Kian and Mark where stood around the car 'oh no' Chloe mumbled to
herself, only thing to do now was run for it, she tried to dash past the
lads, but Shane grabbed her arm.
'Going somewhere Chloe' Mark sniggered.
'You don't say' Chloe replied grumpily
'Why the mood' Shane asked
'Two things, hangover and late for grumpy Emma' But really in Chloe's mind
it was the fact Emma was marrying the lad she loved.
'She’s not that bad is she’?
'Not that bad, don't make me laugh, my sympathy goes out to Bryan, listen
I have to go, and she’ll already be having a breakdown.'
'Ok, see you at the church' Shane said giving me a kiss on the cheek.
'Yeah if I don't collapse of exhaustion.'
'Bye' the lads chorused
'Yeah, bye lads' I turned round and continued down the road. Only when I
stopped for a breath, I noticed how weird Kian was acting, then it struck
me, Kian loved Emma 'oh no' I thought to myself, I was interrupted bye
Emma's door flying open.
'Where have you been?’ She asked angrily
'My alarm didn't go off' I mumbled
'Cut it, do you want me to marry today or not?' No chloe thought to
herself 'Anyway there’s no time to waste, go and get your hair and
makeup done and your dress is in the living room.
'Ok' with that I went and had my makeup done
'She's ready' Emma's mum shouted, from the stairs, I went to the stairs
and there was Emma she looked beautiful, but all I wished was that it was
me walking down the aisle.
*At the church*
The music started playing, as I made my way down the aisle, all eyes where
on me as I walked down the aisle, before returning to Emma, even Bryan
smiled at me, he looked so handsome, I wanted him more, but I knew I
couldn't have him, my heart ached.
'We are gathered here today, to see the marriage of Emma Summers and' the
priest was cut off.
'Sorry I can't, watch you marry him Emma' I threw the bouquet on the floor
as well as the tiara.
'What' Emma asked puzzled?
'Sorry but, I can't watch it.' With this I ran out of the church, tears
running down my face, I found the nearest bench. Back to the church: 'Why
did she do that, I thought she was my best friend' Emma said confused
'I'm sure there’s an explanation' Bryan tried to comfort her. Kian stood
up,
'I'll go and find her' he said as he headed out of the church. He soon
spotted me starring into space. 'Is this seat taken.' he asked. I looked
up, to see a blurry image of Kian; he still looked gorgeous in his suit. I
shook my head.
'Why are you not inside’?
'Cause I've come to see whats wrong.'
'Everything, I can't watch him marrying her Kian, it hurts so much, I love
him.' 'Oh' there was silence; I sat and listened as Kian sung a verse of a
song that sounded familiar
Smile now let it go
Hey, you will never be alone
I promise you
If you can't fight the feeling
Surrender in your heart
Remember, love will set you free
*Pause*
'Why stop' no answer 'I love you, Chloe.'
'You what' I asked shocked
'I love you, have done a long time.'
'I thought you loved Emma.'
'Don't be silly, I love you'
'You do'
'Yes'
'I don't know what to say'
'Don't say anything' I was silenced with a kiss
'I know its sudden Chloe, but will you give our love a try' he pleaded
'Try again'
'What'
'That was the song you just sang, what did you mean bye it' I asked
intrigued
'Forget Bryan, Try again with me.'
'I would love to'
'You would'
'Yes' I smiled
'Forget Bryan, I’m the luckiest man in the world'
'I wouldn't go that far.' I laughed
'Listen Emma is cut up inside, are you coming back in,' I nodded, dried my
tears and followed him inside. All eyes were on me; I nervously walked
over to Emma
'I'm sorry for ruining your day Emma, I didn't mean to.'
'It's ok' Emma enveloped me into a hug, the crowd sighed, a sigh of
relief.
'I'm sorry' I whispered 'friends' I asked
'Best of friends.' another sigh. I smiled
'Now, haven't we got a wedding to continue’?
'Yeah' Emma said, looking happy. I looked at Bryan and he smiled. I could
see the look of relief on his face. 'Ready' he asked Emma 'Ready'
They continued all the rituals, it was a beautiful service, but all I
could think about was Kian, how could I have been so blind, he was loving
me all this time and I didn't realize it until now, but I loved him to, he
was perfect, everything I ever wanted. Bryan my only source of love, not
quite Kian was. I looked over my shoulder and smiled at Kian, he stared
back and whispered 'I love you' 'I love you to' I replied. All eyes where
on us, but for once in my life, I didn't care. All that mattered was I was
happy and I was happy with Kian, he made my Life complete.
