In Love With Mr. Doggy (Skillet Fanfic)

Chapter 24: Don't Say Goodbye

John's POV

I'm staring at myself in the mirror. Everything's so... fast.

"Doggy, aren't you ready yet?"

7 months later and here we are. It's Korey and I's wedding.

"In a minute, hon."

I pondered on my thoughts. I left the room and walked to the altar.

"Are you okay?" Korey hugged me from behind.

"I'm fine."

We went to the altar and proposed to each other. I felt nausea awhile ago that's the reason why I fled.

"Do you take this man as your husband?"

Korey smiled at me and said, "I do."

"Do you take this woman as your wife?"

"I-I do."

"You may now kiss the bride."

I kissed Korey's sweet lips and our family cheered. I carried Korey bridal style.

At the reception

We were eating and then suddenly, I noticed that Rica was peeking from a window.

I rose up from my sit. "Excuse me."

Rica gasped and started to walk away.

"Stop!" I clutched her hand and she turned around.

"You saw... everything?" I asked.

"Yeah... congratulations, John."

"..."

"I came to say goodbye."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going back to Philippines."

"No! Rica... you can still stay here. Please don't say goodbye."

"I can't John!" Rica cried and I hugged her.

Her tears formed a stain on my formal attire.

"I can't stop falling for you. Maybe if I forget about you... I will stop trying and trying to be yours."

"You're going to erase me from your life?"

"It's like what you did to me."

"Huh?"

Rica broke the hug and clutched my hands. She gave me a short kiss on my lips.

"It's been fun having you in my life. Goodbye, John." she walked away while wiping her tears.

I stood there paralyzed. "Rica..." I muttered.

I tear left my eye. I wiped it away and went back inside.

Night came and it was Korey and I's honeymoon. We lay flat there on the bed... sleeping. My mind was awake. Thoughts of Rica flooded my mind. I miss her. But now I have a new responsibility- my wife and my future children. I just miss her laughter and the day we met in McDonald's and in school. I regret the bad things that I had done to her. I'm worried about her mental disease. She was traumatized and quite suicidal. When I met her, I thought that there was a chance for both us despite the circumstances. But... I never knew this time would come. I hope she's happy there. I hugged Korey... thinking she was Rica. But I know that I'm just hurting myself.

I fell asleep with water flowing down my eyes and my chest pumping rapidly. I don't wanna know what'll happen tomorrow. I really hope that I will get over her.
