Ballads of Summer

Paris

We finally arrived in Paris and I'll get married tomorrow. I got no enough strength to roam around Paris so I decided to go to sleep.

 

I woke up and it's 9 in the morning.

 

Damn!

 

4 hours to go!

 

I ate my breakfast and went to bath. The make up artists came and they fixed me. I wore my Vera Wang dress. It was a tube wedding dress. I look like an angel. I looked in the mirror and I look amazing I just smiled. Someone knocked on the door. It's Nathan on his nice bestman suit.

 

"Yes?" I smiled.

"You look gorgeous" he winked.

"He'll be glad to see me"

"He will"

"Oh come in!"

"Thanks"

 

It was just the two of us now. Everyone's downstairs.

 

"So? I thought you're his bestman" I laughed.

" I'm being replaced by his friend, Jay" he smiled.

"Oh. Is it okay for you?"

"Yeah"

"I think we should go downstairs"

"Okay"

 

We headed downstairs. I am nervous. I popped myslef inside the limo and so as Nathan.

 

"I'm so excited" I smiled.

"You really are. That's the girl i've been dreaming to see" he frowned.

"Please be happy for us"

"I'm ahppy for the both of you"

"Thanks"

"You deserve him more than..."

 

Bam!

 

Someone hit our limo and we just stumble inside. It was really really painful. I tried to open my eyes. I just saw blood on my head.

 

"MIRANDA!!!!!" Nathan screamed.

 

He was on his bloody tux. He just rushed to my side.

 

"Nathan. Call him please! Please!" I started crying.

"Okay" he started drumming on his phone.

 

I saw a metal bar poked on my stomach. It wasn't painful but I just felt a bit paralized. I started panicking.

 

"Nathan could you please tell me i'll live?" I started gasping.

"You will. You'll get married here" he started crying.

"I don't feel like I could live longer"

"You'll live. I love you so much"

"I love you Nathan. Please tell him how much I love him too. He's my man"

"You'll live"

"Please tell everyone I love them"

 

I felt like i'm breathing in a straw.

 

"One day, there's this happy man in the altar. He was waiting for his bride. They'll get married in Venice. His beautiful bride came and his bride doesn't know how happy he is. They said their vows. They went boating that night and kissed under the bridge. They made love under the stars and the universe just watched how they love each other" he whispered.

 

I started crying. Breathing got harder for me.

 

"That was your project, right?" I smiled.

"Yes. Miranda, please live for him, for Josh. I don't care if you'll not be mine" he frowned.

"Stop"

"Atleast in my project our dreams came true"

"Please stop"

"I hope to see you guys have kids and grow old together. I'm not for you"

"You deserve a woman who's better than I am"

"Nothing's better than you. I love you both, Josh and you. You enlightened me"

"Enlightened?"

"Yes. Life's too short to wait. We should live every moment"

 

I just breathe down and flutter my lonely eyes. I looked up to him with my last big smile. His hair was styled like the first time I met him. It was dark and unruly. His almond, dark brown eyes were stained with tears. Oh, he's biting his lips as he looks down at me. I can hear the beat of his heart. So loud that it makes me deaf. He was holding my hand close to his perfect chin. As I close my eyes, cold just crawls up on me.
