GABRIELA
2 years later January
"I wish you were here Jennie... it should have been you walking me down the aisle..." I lowered my head looking down at the picture of Jennie and I on my phone. I choked a sob and before I knew it, tears were dripping down onto the screen. It was one of the last pictures we took together before she died. We've talked and made plans about my wedding since I've gotten engaged and it was supposed to be with her, Jennie helped planned most of it when she was with me but... she was supposed to be here with me on my special day.
I can't wrap my head around the fact that it's only been two years since Jennie had passed away... Aubrey was now a junior in college, Jayden was a sophomore in college, and Ava was in the 3rd grade while the twins were two years old already. Everything after that day went by in a blur and before I knew it I was getting married, to the fucking love of my life. I can't stop crying... oh my god my makeup-
I laughed to myself when I look up in the mirror seeing the smudged mascara for the third time today and I cleaned the tears from my phone quickly, I jumped up startled from hearing the door close behind me. I turned around slowly taking a deep breath seeing Victoria's bright smile fall once she took in my look. She walked in further placing her white rose bouquet on the small futon in front of me.
"Gabriela... honey" She held her hands out for me and I stood up, I moved my hands from her and fixed the silky black robe covering up the white lacy underwear Gabriel picked out for me to wear which he was so excited to do so since he couldn't be with me last night. I looked behind Victoria seeing the wedding dress hanging up behind the door making me smile.
"I miss her a lot Victoria" I admitted feeling my smile fade and she pulls me into a hug and I instantly feel the relief to cry when she places her hand on my back, soothing me. I gasped quickly pushing myself away from Gabriel's sister forgetting she was wearing her bridesmaid dress.
"What?" She asked looking at me confused and I turned around towards the vanity grabbing a tissue and dabbing off the mascara underneath my eyes making sure my makeup wasn't messed up.
"Omg I'm the worst bride ever... I could have ruined your dress, I can't stop crying Victoria" I sighed heavily and she sucked her teeth shrugging her shoulders off.
"Gaby... I know you miss her but you have to look on the bright side. You know that Jennie is watching over you... us, the kids. She wouldn't want to see you crying today, especially not full on sobbing. You're finally getting married!... after fucking two years of waiting you're finally marrying Gabriel and I'm so excited" I laughed through the tears and Victoria smiled sadly. I moved back taking in her silk baby blue halter bridesmaids dress I chose for her, that hugged her hourglass figure so perfectly. The perfect mix of elegance and simple which she really liked when we had the fittings.
