This Wasn't Supposed to Happen (A Markiplier Fanfiction)

Confusion on the Altar

Mark’s Point of View

Well this is it. Today’s the day I marry Emma. At first I was dreading this day, but as we continued to plan it I actually ended up falling in love with Emma, believe it or not. It’s funny, actually, when you think about it. I was dreading marrying this girl I was sure I didn’t want to date, but along the way I actually fell in love.

But in the back of my mind, I knew I was still in love with Ruby. Even though I had fallen in love with Emma, I would never be able to get Ruby out of my head, or my heart for that matter.

Never the less, I was going through with this wedding, because I couldn’t let everyone down.

I’m now standing at the altar, waiting, watching everyone come down the aisle. I’m nervously standing in my tux, and I know my brother Tom can sense that, so he walks up to me and whispers “It’s alright Mark. But there’s still time to bail, if you want.” He chuckles, which nervously makes me laugh. Could I really bail out right now? Just leave Emma at the altar?

No…. No, I couldn’t do that. That’s wrong and cruel and it would break Emma’s heart. What I’m doing is the right thing. I’m marrying a girl that I love.

But that thought of just bailing out is still in the back of my mind. Even when I hear that familiar stereotypical wedding music play as Emma walks down the aisle.

Emma smiles up at me when she reaches me at the altar. I smile back, but I’m still freaking out on the inside, my stomach in knots. I barely listen to the priest talking, but I do begin to listen when Emma and I say our vows and such.

After that, the priest says something… Interesting.

“If anyone objects to this marriage, please speak now or forever hold your peace.”

I internally laugh at that. Did priests actually still say that? But my mind started to race at that thought.

If I really wanted to, I could bail out. I could try and get Ruby back. The first girl I’ve ever loved. I…. I can’t do that to Emma, no. But... I need to be happy too. That’s it. I can’t take it anymore. I… I need to be happy too. I have to do it.

“I object.”

Emma’s Point of View

I’m so excited! Today’s the day I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been thinking about what I wanted my wedding to be like and the man I was going to marry. And almost everything seems perfect.

Almost everything…

It’s just… It’s Mark. Oh wow that sounds terrible. Mark is a great guy! He really is. And I love him with all of my heart. But I know that he doesn’t fully love me.

He loves Ruby.

I know he says he loves me, and I believe him, I really do. I just know that he loves Ruby so much more than he loves me. And I can’t take that away from him. I can’t take that away from either of them. Because I love both of them too much to take away such passion and love from them.

I don’t want to, but I think I have to call off the wedding. I don’t know how, but I just have to. Because for once in my life I need to put someone else’s wants before mine. Because I know that Ruby wants Mark and Mark wants Ruby and the only thing keeping them apart is me…

As I’m walking up the aisle, looking at Mark, I’m trying to think of a way to stop this wedding. I can’t just walk off, no. I refuse to be a runaway bride. I can’t hurt everyone like that.

So, as the wedding goes on, my stomach begins to churn, and I honestly feel like I’m going to throw up. If I go through with this I’ll never be able to live with myself. But that’s when the priest says something that catches my attention.

“If anyone objects to this marriage, please speak now or forever hold your peace.”

Yes! This is my chance to fix everything. But I just need to work up the courage to actually say something. After enough waiting, the priest looks like he’s going to continue, so that’s when I finally speak up.

“I object.” 

A/N 

You guys (and gals) are the best, you know that? You guys still support me even though I suck at updating because life n stuff. 

Everyone was so supportive and was super okay with me being a shitty updater. Also, thank you to everyone who wished me luck on my auditions. They're on Tuesday, and I'm really nervous. The character I really want is this sarcastic lesbian who says whatever comes to mind, but is really bad in like serious situations XD Which pretty much sums up me (Except for the whole lesbian thing. But im up for anything :) ) It's a play written by a senior and it's super edgy and different and I'm so excited! 

But anyway, enought about my acting (When I'm nervous I talk about the subject non stop) Just... Thank you all for being the best people out there. You're all so understanding and supportive and I couldn't ask for anything more. 

I love you all, and I hope you all have a wonder day, night, or whatever time it is. Thank you for the support, and a new chapter shoudl be up before 3 or 4 months XD 

I'm still really sorry about that!! 

Love you Ladies and Gents
