Forever (Part One)

"I, Scott Hoying, promise to love you and care for you, in sickness and in health, forever." Scott said, tearing up a bit.
"You may now kiss the groom." Said the priest as Scott and I leaned in, meeting in the middle. I started to cry tears of happiness, knowing that Scott was now mine, and I was his.
When we pulled away, the crowd of our closest family and friends stood up and cheered. Scott leaned in to whisper in my ear, "I love you, and I will always love you. Forever."

That happened three years ago.

"Forever" he told me, "I'll love you forever."

Forever was before the fights. Forever was before the cheating. Forever was before Alex. Forever was before Scott told me that he loved somebody else.

And that somebody was not me.

It was Alex.

If Scott had never gone to Starbucks at 9:00 AM on that particular Sunday, forever would still be happening.

If Alex didn't run into Scott and accidentally spill his iced coffee onto him, forever would still be happening.

If I hadn't slept in on that Sunday morning, forever would still be happening.

I don't know who to blame. I like to think it's Scott's fault, for cheating on me with Alex when I went to Texas that one weekend.

But for some reason, I think it's my fault.

Scott and Alex have been together 2 years now.

And that is why I am currently sulking on my couch watching sad romantic movies.

My doorbell goes off.

I get up to answer the door, but no ones there.

There's just a note.

As soon as I see what it is, I slam my door shut and continue sulking my heart out.

I run to the bathroom, clutching onto the note. I lock the door and search through the cabinets until I find what I'm looking for.

Pills.

"No one loves me anyway..."

I take a handful and shove them into my mouth, knowing that it would be enough to do the job.

Suddenly, everything goes black.

I'm still clutching the note as I die.

The note read:

YOU'RE INVITED!
WHERE: SAN FRANCISCO
WHEN: JULY 5, 2017 AT 12:00 PM
WHY: THE MARRIAGE OF SCOTT HOYING AND ALEXANDER KIRK.
RSVP FOR EXACT LOCATION!!

Forever, he said.

Forever.
