A tear ran down my cheek and he wiped it with his thumb.

We hugged and she kissed my cheek
Chandra: I got my followers
Tati: Here's your bouquet Lex
Lexi: Thanks
We all lined up ready to walk into the auditorium. First our little flower girl, Elise is so cute. Then our ring bearer, which is Tati's little brother.
Josh: Start the music
Tati and Travis walk in first then Chandra and August's long time friend, Jordan and last Jasmine and Knuck. Me and Dj stood in front of the double doors waiting for our cue to go
Lexi: Thank you Dj
Dj: For what
Lexi: For bein an amazing big brother
He looked down at me
Dj: I said I wasn't gone cry Lexi Alexandria
I laughed
Lexi: Just ruin my moment
Dj: You're welcome lil sis
Josh: Y'all ready
We nodded and the doors opened. Everybody stood to there feet but my focus was on August. With every step I took my heart raced. He smiled at me the entire time, our eyes never left each others.
Pastor: Who gives this young lady away
Dj: I do
We hugged and he kissed my cheek. Him and August dapped each other up. Dj whispered something in his ear then went to his seat next to my Auntie. August grabbed my hand and I stepped up. I smiled at his in "aww" facial expression and he mouthed "I love you". My heart was racing but I was so happy to be in this moment.
Pastor: Before we get started is there any reason why anyone feels this couple shouldn't wed today
We looked around. Dj, surprisingly, mean mugged the hell out everyone causing me to laugh a little
Pastor: Speak now or forever hold your peace
As silence krept thru the church the pastor began the ceremony.
Pastor: We are gathered here today to join this man and this women...
Chris: Naw not like this
We looked back, he was standing in the middle of the isle. Rock and T were standin along side of us ready to pounce.
August: Nigga you gone die
Dj stood up and Chris pulled out a gun.
Chris: Nobody has to get hurt Lexi just come with me
He reached for me with his other hand and August stepped in front of me. Chris put his hand at the bottom of the clip and was ready to fire
August: Nigga better be ready to shoot
Big T and Rock stood in front of us
Chris: You think this is a game
He leaned to his shoulder
Chris: Hit the pastor
We looked back at the pastor, glass shattered and the pastor was shot dead on the ground. Everybody start screaming and tryin to get out the church. All of us faced Chris who looked deranged.
Chris: Lexi you want another person to die
A tear fell down my cheek and August turned to me.
August: You not goin with him
We heard police sirens n shit
Lexi: Just let me let him think I am the police are outside I should be fine
Tati: Lexi I don't kno about this
August: No baby I can't lose you
Lexi: I can't let anybody else get hurt
I pushed passed August and To and Rock. Dj stood in front of me
Dj: No
Lexi: Dre move
Dj: I'm not playin
Lexi: I'm not either move
Chris: You want the hot one in ya boy move
Dj: Man fux you
Chris: Hit the brother
Lexi: Nooo alright I'm coming
I pushed Dj and walked towards Chris. He was still pointing his gun at them with a grin on his face. He lowered his gun when I got closer then pointed it directly at me. I stopped and held my hands up. He motioned with the gun for me to come closer. I stood in front of him and he placed his hands on my face. He pulled me in for a kiss but I put my hands on his chest stopping him. He pressed the barrel of the gun against my cheek and ran it down to my collar bone, over my breast and down to my stomach. I wrapped my arms around my stomach, fearing my child's and my life. He leaned forward and whispered
Chris: I love you and I'm sorry
My voice cracked
Lexi: Sorry for wh...
He pulled the trigger, the pain rushed over my body. My hand covered the bullet wound in my stomach and I fell to the ground. Chris put the barrel to his head and pulled the trigger again, he claspsed next to me. I felt August pull me into his lap, he pressed where I had been shot. I trembled and he pulled me closer. Tears filled his eyes before running down his face and landing on mine. I couldn't hear anything or anyone. All I saw was them crying and surrounding me. I gasp for air knowing it was the last breath I would take.
