I sat in Alyssa's hotel i watched her get her makeup done. Ive already cried twice this morning and I've been up for an hour. Watching Alyssa be this excited about something makes me so happy.

She genuinely deserves all of this. Im so happy for her. I put my white bridesmaid dress on and curled my hair. Mom and dad are both gonna be her today so this is going to be a interesting time.

I grabbed my camera out of my bag and snapped a picture of Alyssa getting her makeup done. "Marcey!" She said embarrassed. "What im just capturing the bride before the wedding" i said and she smiled.

I went to the bathroom and closed myself in. I pulled out my phone and sat on the floor in front of the door. I stared at the message in my phone.

New york next week!!

It read.

I still haven't told ciaran, or anyone else for that matter. While i don't want to leave him, laney, the boys, and alyssa, this is a huge step for my career and i have to take it.

I just dont know how to tell them.

"Marcey are you okay in there?" Laney asked from the other side of the door. I got up off the ground and opened the door. "Yup" i said walking out.

Tears slowly fell down my face as i zipped up Alyssa's dress. "Dont cry marceline, then im gonna cry" she said.

I put my camera in my bag and we all got in the car to go to the venue where all the guys were.

We pulled up and i helped her out of the car and her, laney, and i went inside. I admired the beautifully decorated room and pulled out my camera, snapping a picture.

I felt arms snake around my waist and i smiled. "Vail" he whispered. "McDonald" i said smiling as he kissed my cheek. I turned around to face him and my heart picked up. "Woah" i said.

"The ciaran mcdonald in a suit?" I said and he chuckled. He gave me a little spin and giggled. "You look gorgeous"he said cupping my face and i connected our lips. "Hey lovebirds we have a wedding to focus on" laney said and i smiled against his lips.

"Wheres brandon?" I asked. "Lobby with the boys" ciaran said and i grabbed alyssa and got in the elevator to go downstairs.

Brandons friends covered his eyes and i cover lys' as i guided her to stand in front of him. "1...2...3!" I said and i uncovered her eyes. Tears immediately left her eyes as she stood in front of him.

Hopefully i get to experience this in my lifetime.

I snapped a picture of them and amiled at it. "My baby!" I heard from behind me and mentally shot myself. "Mommm" i said, dread lacing my voice. "Alyssa!" She said excitedly. "Marceline" she said plainly.

As much as i wanted to jump at her and rip her hair out, i controlled myself. "Guests should be arriving in 10 minutes" i told alyssa and she nodded.

"You should really stop slouching dear, your posture is atrocious" my mom said pushing my shoulders back. "Mom im almost 23, im sure i can handle myself" i said.

I walked away from her and went outside to get some air before people started showing up. I lit a cigarette  and inhaledas i stared at the sky. "Whats wrong?" I heard from behind me. "Just trying not to strangle my mother" i said faking a smile.

"She cabt be that b-" he started. "Dear god marceline put that thing out" she said as she stepped onto the balcony. "Jesus mom im an adult. Let me breathe" i said flicking the cigarette off the rail.

"Whos this?" She asked referring to ciaran. "My boyfriend mom" i said. "Im ciaran" he said sticking out his hand. "Bethany" she said shaking his hand. "Mom you should probably make sure everything looks good" i said, trying desperately to get her to go away.

"She must be a handfull huh?" She asked ciaran, ignoring me. "No actually, quite the other way around" he said. "Mom please go away fuck!" I said and she looked at me shocked. "That is no way to talk to your mother Marceline!" She said and i rolled my eyes.

"Im not doing this with you today bethany. Youre only here because alyssa felt bad for inviting dad and not you" i said before walking away.

I went to where everyone was gathering and i sat down in one of the chairs. Ciaran sat next to me and I laid my head on his shoulder. "I love you" i said. "I love you too" he said kissing my head.

The ceremony started and i found myself crying multiple times as dad walked alyssa down the isle.

We went into the party room as music blasted through the speakers and everyone danced. I grabbed laneys arm and dragged her outside. "Marcey why are we out here?" She asked.

"Im moving to new york" i blurted out and she looked shocked. "Marcey...." she said. "Im so sorry thaf i didnt tell you bur i just didn't know h-" "shut uo im so happy for you" she said hugging me.

"Did you tell ciaran yet?" She asked. "Tell ciaran what?" I heard from behind me and my eyes went wide. "Laney" i whispered and she nodded before walking back inside.

I let out a sigh and i grabbed his hand. "Im moving to new york next week" i said and his habd slipped from mine. "Why the fuck would you tell me this just now?" He asked raising his voice.

"Ciaran i didnt know how to tell you" i said. "So what, youre just gonna move across the country and leave me here?" He asked. "We can make this work ciaran" i said grabbing his hand and he snatched it back.

"No we cant Marceline. We're done" he said. "Are you serious right now?" I asked and he stayed silent. "Fuck you ciaran" i said pushing him before walking back inside.

Tears fell down my face as i looked for alyssa. "Hey im gonna go home" i said. "What happened?" She shouted over the music. "He broke up with me" i said.

"Marcey..." she said. "I just really have to leave alyssa. I love you, congratulations" i said kissing her cheek before walking outside and getting in the car.

I put the last box in my trunk and went back inside. He still won't talk to me. "Youre really not saying bye to me?" I asked him and he stayed silent. "I get that you're mad at me ciaran but we're best friends...at least we were" i said.

"As much as you hate me i couldn't ever not love you. Just know that. Goodbye" i said before getting in the car.

Though our relationship story was somewhat short lived, i cant see myself forgetting about him. My best friend of 10 years, getting smaller and smaller in the distance as the car drove farther away. Until he was gone.

(Ciarans pov)

I sat in Marceline's empty room as tears fell from my eyes. I held the matching necklace around my neck and i just cried.

Im so stupid.
