"She'll be okay" I faintly heard a man's voice, I groan and immediately someone was holding my hand.

I opened my eyes, it was Rose and Achraf.

I let out a sigh of relief, I really didn't want Kylian here right now.

"Idalia?" Rose asked softly, "Ye-Yes" I answer looking around the room.

Immediately I knew I was in the room where all the ladies got dressed.

I sat up and Rose helped me sit up properly.

"Wha-Why are you both here?" I asked feeling bad that they are in here and not out there enjoying their evening.

Rose tsked, "Idalia, you are my sister."

I nod, looking down at my hands, Rose probably signaled Achraf to exit the room.

"That was a beautiful speech," she says smiling. I nod, "Thank you."

After a few moments, Rose spoke up.

"What happened out there, Idalia?" Rose asked, I looked up at her and sighed.

"Just the things with my ex...all the memories...the bad ones," I pause wiping the tears away in my eyes.

"Oh Idalia," Rose says as she pulled me in for a hug.

"And Kylian," I whispered.

She pulled back, "I'm so sorry Idalia, I saw."

I nod my head and put on a little smile, "It's all okay," I say taking a deep breath.

"How long was I out for?"

"About ten minutes" she answered.

I nod, standing up, "Let's go, I'm fine now."

We both made our way back to everyone else, as we walked in everyone was on the dance floor, scattered people sitting and watching those on the dance floor.

Rose then grabbed my hand, gave it a little squeeze, let go of it and disappeared towards her husband.

I took a deep breath and went towards the table I sat at, no one was around, I sat down and glanced around the building.

It sure does look beautiful, the caters did an amazing job. I made a mental note to thank everyone who helped later.

Then my eyes fell upon Kylian...with Erin in his arms. I bit my lip, trying not to cry again.

He whispered something in her ear, and she started giggling. He then swayed her to the music as she rest her head on his shoulder.

That should've been me.

Then as he twirled her, we locked eyes.

I could see the shock in his eyes, so he really didn't expect me to sit here, are you serious?

I scoffed and glanced in the opposite direction.

I then looked down, tears forming in my eyes, once again.

I'm sick of this shit, this crying over men shit.

Then someone tapped my shoulder, it was my Dad.

Instantly a smile formed on my face.

He then extended his hand, "May I have this dance?" he asked with a smile. I nod and took his hand as he helped me up and to the dance floor.

"Hi Dad" I say smiling as he swayed us to the music.

"You doing okay now?" he asked with a serious voice as he stared into my eyes.

I nod, trying to conceal the pain. "I'm better now Dad" I answered.

"Tell me what's wrong" he says after a few moments.

"Well," I said sighing, "I'm just tired Dad, tired of men playing with my heart, I'm just tired," I answered honestly.

"Darling, one day you'll find someone who makes you feel like a better person when you're around them, you will find love, Idalia" he says smiling.

I nod, hoping it's true.

"Do I have to remind you why we named you Idalia?" he asked smiling softly, as I let out a laugh, then nodding.

"Idalia means, behold the sun...which means beauty and love, the person who has immense gratitude when looking up at the sky and all it holds, the beauty" he says.

"And my Idalia, that's exactly who you are, our sun," he smiles.

I smile and nod, "Thank you Dad."

After a few moments, my Dad went to dance with my mom, so I was back at the table, alone.

Then Kylian and Erin sat down at their table, just in front of my table. They then held each other's hands once again.

I need to get out of here. I stood up and went to the kitchen, thanking everyone. Thanking all the staff members around the room.

Then I find Rose, I softly tapped her shoulder, she then turned around.

I gave her a sad smile because my heart was heavy and exhausted.

"I think I'm gonna go home" I say. Rose then pulled me in for a hug, "I've asked one of the other bridesmaids to take over for me" I say as she held me tighter.

When we pulled back, I greeted Achraf and all his family members.

"Enjoy your evening" I say to all of them, giving them a small wave. I then make my way to my parents, greeting them and then I went to go fetch my purse.

Then I remember my bag, with all the clothes I had on, was still in that room.

I quickly went to the room, grabbed the bag and when I turned around Kylian stood in the doorway.

I shook my head, "Please just get out of the way" I say tiredly.

I then walked up to the door, he didn't move, rather held his arms out towards me.

"Don't. Touch. Me." I say through gritted teeth.

"Just go back to Erin" I say, as I started breathing faster.

I pushed my way past him and hurriedly made my way towards the exit, Kylian rushing after me.

"Kylian, I really don't need this right now," I say as I walked towards my car and unlocked it.

"Idalia, just let me explain, please" he begged.

"What is there to explain? Huh? What more do you want to explain to me right now?!" I yell as tears started forming in my eyes.

He slowly walked towards me.

"It's just a front for the public" he says. I look up at him and bite my lip, "It's all my manager's work, you have to believe me Idalia," he say.

"Oh really?" I asked looking away and scoffing, with tears streaming down my face, I started laughing.

"Wow, just wow," I shook my head.

"So, now I'm not good enough for you? You can't be seen with me in public?!" I yelled, crying at this point.

Kylian looked down.

"I fucking thought so" I say nodding my head, I threw my purse in the passenger seat and took my heels off.

Crying, I tossed my bag in the passenger seat.

I took one last look at him and climbed into the driver's seat, closing the door.

"Idalia, you can't drive like this, not in this state!" Kylian yelled.

I looked up at him, tears blurring my vision.

"Well, guess what I'm about to do" I say as I put the car into ignition.
