Wildest Dreams (COMPLETED)

🥀nineteen🥀

25th July 2021

The day has come.

In a matter of less than twelve hours I will officially be Mrs. Griezmann. It feels so bizarre, so real now. Like I was living in a dream up until today.

Especially when I traveled a ton between London and Barcelona for a couple of reasons. The one I was using as an excuse was I wanted to make sure the guest that are coming from there are all settled up.

Also Aurora was another excuse since she's one of the bridesmaids.

Anto believed every single one of my words and didn't suspect I was visiting his teammate under his nose. Or at least didn't show any signs he did notice.

Yet, I was currently getting my hair and makeup done. My wedding dress is a few metres away from me, in a perfect display so everyone can see it.

Sparkly white fabric, covered with floral lace. The straps were embroidered with small petals. The sunlight was shining bright and every crystal was reflecting the light.

I feel like a princess wearing the dress. I feel beautiful.

My sisters, Viktorija, Hazel and Aurora were all rushing around the room, fixing each others dress or hair.

" You have the rings,Alana?"

" No! Lucas has them! It's his only job."

" You two, don't tell me he lost the damn rings!"

Vika asked both of Alana and Aliana, whom looked at themselves. Before we knew it, they were running through the hall, shouting Lucas's name, dropped the heels behind them.

I said a silent prayer, hoping my rings were in a good condition and weren't lost somewhere in the kitchen of the hotel during one of the famous Hernandez midnight snacks.

" You girls ready?"

" Yes!"

All three of my friends said.

I saw a sign of disappointment on their faces, but they made sure to hide it. I guess they wanted a different conclusion of this weird situation we were in.

I learned the secret plan. The whole Greece and France story. Christian, nor Benjamin remembered to keep their mouths shut while I was around them last week.

God forbids we rely on the boys to keep a secret. It won't happen.

" Ladies, can I have the bride for a second?"

I was already with my dress on, when I heard my fiance's voice. Why he is here? It's a bad luck to see the bride.

Hazel and Viktorija tried to hide me, whilst Aurora blocked his path.

" Don't make a move closer Griezmann!"

" It's important Vika."

He had a worried look in his face, saying something was wrong.

They lost the rings. I know. Hernandez had to mess up something. It's their charm.

Then I saw the small, black velvet box, when Antoine took it out of his dress pants pocket.

Okay, that's a positive. So far, so good

" I have to tell you something, Attie."

" Alright, just say it. It couldn't be that bad."

I help his hand in mine. Smile on my face. What could go wrong? We were getting married, starting this journey called life together. Taking the next step. I was ready to do it, even if I have my hesitations. This marriage is a risk I am willing to take.

To my surprise, Antoine said the least expected words.

" We...I cannot do it... We have to call off the wedding Attie."

I dropped his hand.

" What!? Why?"

The French took a few steps away from me and looked through the window.

In the garden, the last preparations were being sorted out, some of the guest were taking their seats, and as always Theo was close to the buffet talking to some girl.

Getting the most of the situation I see. He better act quickly cause soon none of this will exist.

" There is... I won't forgive myself if I do this to you. It's not fair."

" What isn't fair? Please explain me! You cannot just leave!"

He ran a hand through his hair in annoyance,before joining me on the small sofa to grab my hand, just like I did a few minutes ago.

" You are in love with someone else Athena. And I need to let you go."

He knew.

" This is where we will say goodbye, Love. Please stay safe and be happy. Let's not make a bigger scene."

He kissed me goodbye before leaving me a sobbing mess.

This was the end. There won't be any wedding. We are not getting married. Years of relationship were now gone.

Funny how tables turn and I am the one left behind this time.

But I am given a chance to go and do what I want to do. I wasn't going to waste it. There is rarely a second chance given.

Buona sera a tutti!!

I think there will be one more chapter to wrap up the story.

Tell me what you think so far, I would love to hear.❤️
