I was surprised, but I really didn't know why. This was such a typical A thing to do. And I knew it was here. So what was I expecting? A perfect dream wedding? why did I have such high expectations?

I wasn't even marrying my prefect dream guy.

But besides the point, I need to focus on the ongoing disaster that was my wedding. The tape had ended and Toby was still standing by the door at the end of the aisle. No emotion...just...standing there.

Many people were discombobulated trying to find where it had come from. Wren was still standing in front of me, tears in his eyes, wondering what he had done to deserve this. That was the worst part. He hadn't done anything to deserve this. He was the perfect husband.

Just not the one for me.

I looked around at everyone. Some were looking around, most were looking at me with revulsion. I decided to play the runaway bride and make a run for it. I ran down the aisle, more cliché than ever. I ran right past an emotionless Toby, grabbed my purse off the table, and went out the door.

But right as I pushed on the door, he finally decided to show feelings.

"Spencer wait!" I heard as I ran out down the church steps. I just kept running. I didn't know where I was going.

I stopped and remember that A sent a text.

No, I don't want to know. I don't need to give into this monster. Let this psycho be dissatisfied.

But I didn't listen to my thoughts. I sat down on the curb and read the text. Toby soon approached and sat down next to me, not saying a word.

A tear ran down my cheek. "What's it say, Spence."

"See for yourself" I handed him the phone.

I know he wants to help me, but I know that he's going to enjoy reading this.

Hey Spence!

LOVED the wedding. It was just what I was hoping it to be. Don't you know that I never liked your little British boy toy? I was always on YOUR side...

I can already hear the wedding bells...

xoxo, A

I could almost feel Toby's inner happiness, even though he was fighting himself not to show it. He knew this wasn't the right time to bring this up.

One of the many reasons why I still love him.

There. I said it.

I know I said it earlier to him but it takes more strength to admit it to yourself.

And I have. I love him and I always will.

But this wasn't our time. And it wont be for a while.

He looked up at me. "Spencer..."

"I know.."


We both sat there in silence, no need for words. We already knew what we both were thinking about.

There was water running down the street, that's all we had been staring at, yet we could feel each other's stares.

There was just so much there.

It was unexplainable. The way we were around each other.

It was like nothing I had ever felt before, no matter how much I tried to convince myself otherwise.

I finally broke the wonderful silence that had been about 10 minutes, but felt short of only 2.

"I wonder what's going on in there right now." I said.

He shrugged, still staring at the flowing water. "That's not really the first thing on my mind right now." He said, smiling beautifully.

Which of course made me smile even bigger.

He broke his gaze at the running water, and put his hand on my chin, facing it toward him.

He looked me right in the eye. Ok this is better than the metaphorical stares.

"How can you not notice what the world is screaming right at you? We keep facing these complications, yet...something will always bring us closer...

...We always  find our way back."

With that he moved his gentle hand from my chin, firmly to my neck, pulling me in.

And he kissed  me like I had never been kissed before.

So there we were.

Two twenty-something's sitting on a curb outside a church, one in a wedding dress, and one in a wrinkled suit.

We both aren't where we are supposed to be, but yet we're right where we need  to be.

Somewhere safe.

Somewhere where I can hear the sound of water running down the street, imagining it as a waterfall, running peacefully as I am in the perfect place.

This was it. 

This was my moment where it all gets better.
