i was waiting for tara to come out of the dressing room so i can see her dress. i had seen her in it of course when we went to go look for one, but to see her wearing makeup and her hair being done was a whole different story.

however, a part of me was a little sad today. i used to be in love with tara for a very long time. it all started when we were in fifth grade together. tara had offered to be my partner for a project when everyone else wanted nothing to do with me.

i was bullied a lot in school because someone had spread rumors about me that i liked girls. i didn't know at the time that i did like girls, but tara was the only real friend that i had until we eventually met chad, mindy and anika in sixth grade.

tara was just always there for me and i knew a part of me felt something for her. it wasn't until we were freshman in high school that i realized i had been in love with my best friend since we were in fifth grade.

i had never told anyone about my feelings for tara. it was better for me to just keep it a secret. i didn't want to lose tara as a friend. i thought that if i kept my feelings inside they would eventually go away, but then the ghostface murders happened and tara and i got even closer during that time.

tara had sacrificed herself for me and she almost died because of it. my feelings for her deepened after all of that. eventually, my heart was shattered when tara had started dating wes during our junior year and even now, the man she was about to marry.

i genuinely thought i was over tara, but her getting married today might have just brought my feelings back.

"y/n, you out there?" my thoughts get interrupted as i hear tara call out for me. i stand up and walk towards the door.

"yes, i'm here. everything okay?" i ask her and she doesn't say anything back. i start to get worried so i put my hand on the door knob. "tara, i'm coming in, okay?"

i open the door and i immediately fall back in love with tara. she looked so beautiful in her dress. her hair was curled and her makeup looked flawless.

i was staring at her and i couldn't take my eyes off of her until i noticed her crying. "tara, what's wrong?" i ask her as i walk up to her and place a hand on her shoulder.

she continues to cry and i walk her over to a chair and have her sit. "i can't- i can't do this, y/n." she says with tears in her eyes.

"you can't do what?" i ask her and she continues to cry. i put my arm around her and i let her cry into my dress. i was seriously confused as to what was going on.

"i can't marry wes.. i don't think i am in love with him." my heart felt like it stopped beating for a second. tara wasn't in love with wes? how could that be though? they've been together for eight years.

"what do you mean you're not in love with him?" i ask her and she grabs my hand and looks at me. her mascara was smeared a little, but she still looked so beautiful.

"i just don't think i ever really loved wes in that way. the whole time we were together i was always thinking about someone else and what my life could've been like if i had told this person how i felt..." she says to me while she sniffles a bit and i can't believe she is saying all of this.

who in the hell could this other person be? tara never once mentioned anything about this before.

i was about to say something, but mindy had walked in on us. "tara, is everything okay? are you nervous?" she asks with a worried look.
