A/N: It seems like I won't be able to post an update on Chen's birthday. Sorry 'bout that. To make it up, I will be posting today instead.
...anyway, to those who were asking when I'll open up for requests, well, I'm not quite sure myself. Because I wanted to finish the sad imagines first then the remaining request which up until now I wasn't able to do. ^_^v But, I'll definitely announce it to everyone so don't worry, and I'm sure it wouldn't take me 'til December. Hahaha.
Anyway, here's the 11th sad imagine. ;)

Your POV

A happy little melody started to play as the church bells began to ring.... They were wedding bells, bringing joy and excitement to the ears, and a smile on people's faces...



All except for me.

...for every cling and clang was nothing but a horrifying rhythm that I couldn't bare, carrying along with it a nightmare that made me want to scream of pain.

My cheeks were wet from all the tears that just won't stop streaming from my eyes...

...Wasted, that's what I probably look like right now: Tear-stained dress, smudged mascara and eyeliner, and red puffy eyes.

I hid behind the limo waiting outside the church and tried to get a clear vision of what was happening inside.

The entourage began to walk down the aisle with rose bouquets held by the ladies. They were all wearing pastel colored gowns as they linked there arms with their partners who on the hand were wearing tuxedos.

...they were all lovely to look at but what captured everyone's attention was the beautiful lady standing at the very corner. She was wearing a beautiful white gown that stretched out like a river, and though her face was covered with a vail, you could surely tell she was smiling, that made her face glow. She was very, very beautiful, which only made me look at myself and sigh. No wonder no one wants me.

...I turned to look at the altar and there, just by the other corner was the guy I was in love with. Huang Zi Tao. I couldn't help but smile. He was ravishing, which only made my heart beat faster. No words could describe how handsome he looked like in my eyes. I was smiling the whole time when I realized he was looking at someone else. His bride-to-be. My smile turned into a frown and little did I know tears began to race down my cheeks once again.

I slowly walked inside the church and stood at the very back, wanting to witness them exchange their vows, only torturing myself.

How I wish he'd see me. How I wish he'd back out. How I wish I could turn back time.






Oh, how I wish I was her... the one he was to marry.

...I wasn't paying much attention to the wedding rites until I heard the priest say: "...speak now or forever hold your peace."

That very moment my mind was in a state of turmoil. I was torn between what I want to do and what I should do, what my heart was telling me and what my mind was reminding me...

I was blank for a moment when I suddenly noticed people were all staring at me. Only then did I realize that I was already in the middle of the aisle. I badly wanted the ground to swallow me whole, I didn't know were I took the courage to barge in and all of a sudden exclaimed what my heart had been wanting me to do... To stop them.

I was really embarrassed. My face turned red and I could feel my hands sweat.

What have gotten myself into?

I mean, this is what I wanted right? But I didn't know objecting a marriage felt like this.

Everyone was staring at me with judgemental looks. I felt like a villain who just killed the protagonist.

I really wanted to cry but I tried to stay strong... I'm here anyway, so why not make the most out of it.

I took a deep breath and said the words I've always wanted to say.

"I know it's wrong for me to b-barge in a-and ruin this special day. But..." I stopped for a moment to look at Tao as I sniffed and wiped the tears that were about to fall.

"But... Tao... I uhhh, I want to tell you something before I l-loose you for good, before I finally decide to.... To m-move on...


Tao, I really love you. And I know that telling you this right now wouldn't make a difference but I'm telling you anyway...

Thank you for everything... For being so nice to me, and for making me feel how it is to love someone this much.

I love you so much, that... That even though it'll hurt, I'm willing to set my feelings aside to see you happy." I said trying my very best to smile.

I looked at Delia, the lucky girl he was to marry and smiled.
"Take good care of him for me okay? This guy means so much to me. And you're very lucky to have him."

I took one last glance at Tao, who's expression I find hard to read, and looked at the crowd and mouthed the words "I'm so, so sorry" before bowing down and finally decided to run away from this dreadful nightmare...






To run away from this happy ending I'm not supposed to be in...





And...







To run away from the guy whom I was not meant to be.
