The Love Complex (Completed)

-23-

"Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it." -J. M. Barrie

Often, in movies, there is always a big wedding that signals a happy ending. The protagonists are rewarded and it ends with a kiss and a happy ever after. However, real life is not like a movie. 

Dylan looked at the full venue. They had agreed on only a few guests, but there were plenty of people who he had never met in his life. He shook his head; he knew that there was nothing else to do. What was done, was done. 

 He scanned the few tables nearby, his parents were seated at the same table as the Kendall's, both hiding their dissatisfaction and disappointment over not being informed directly by Dylan about the wedding.

"What are you doing out here?" Jaxon asked, when he caught him near the back doors.

Dylan shook his head, "This is the worst day of my life." He muttered, his eyes glued to his parents who seemed to be having a deep conversation with the Kendalls.

"You know, it's actually supposed to be the best day. After all, you're supposed to be married to the woman of your dreams--all that-" he muttered.

Dylan shrugged him off. The wedding ceremony had been painfully long, and he felt exhausted from having to greet so many strangers. He had also only gotten to see Regina once, during the ceremony. Afterwards, she was swept away by acquaintances of the Kendalls who 'wished to have a conversation with the new bride'. Yes, everything was going terribly.

On the other side of the venue, Regina was being bombarded by the Kendall acquaintances. She smiled robotically, mostly trying to keep her composer. Maddison stood by her side, sympathetically rubbing her arm trying to keep her composed.

"I'm so exhausted," Regina whispered into her ear. Maddison nodded. She gritted her teeth, and then leaned closer to her ear. "Keep it up a little longer. I'll get you out of here soon."

Regina nodded. She waited a few more minutes, before Maddison began to enact her plan. Maddison's phone began to ring uncontrollably, before she took the call and quickly gave it to Regina.

"I'm sorry ladies, it's her publicist. She's going to congratulate her!" Maddison said, as Regina gave them all an awkward smile and began to make her way out of the room.

 Once she was outside, she quickly made her way toward the back door. The garden was big and spacious, with a great white-water fountain in the shape of a dolphin standing in the middle. It was the most beautiful sight Regina had seen all day. When she got there, she noticed that the garden was empty. With a sigh of relief, she sat down on a bench facing the fountain and began to look at the sky.

"May I?" A familiar male voice said, making her look over.

He was wearing his black tuxedo, and a tired smile was planted on his lips as he looked at her. She nodded, and moved her dress so that he could sit.

"How is it going with the ladies?" He asked, not looking at her.

Regina shrugged, "I can safely say that I'm not getting married a second time; it's too much work."

Dylan's rich laughter filled the garden. "Same." He muttered.

Regina smiled.

The sky was cloudy, and the sun had almost completely disappeared.

"They say that rain is a sign of bad luck," Dylan said, motioning to the sky. Regina shook her head and smiled.

"I think it's the opposite."
