Heart's Melody (girlxgirl)

Chapter 28: The Guilt that chilled you more than all of the rain combined

"What the fuck Drei?! What the hell were you thinking??" Andrea stood straight and began pacing back and forth inside the small cabin room.

The loud thunderous sound that echoed the place and the bright streak of that silver lightning that scattered throughout the darkening sky were nothing compared to listening to Khrystle's fuming voice adamantly asking her whereabouts. She finally made up her mind after contemplating of calling her best friend to let her know of her safety.

"Khryst calm down I'm okay, I promise."

"Bish, how the heck can I calm down? When you vanished out of nowhere! I swear, I'm gonna kill that fucking jerk for convincing you to ran away. Poor Amber she looks so weary and hasn't eaten anything yet or says a word since then."

"Look she already got what she wanted right? I'm already married to her. Just leave me alone for now, Please?"

Andrea bit her lower lip as she looked at her reflection in the huge mirror. The sight of her in a tube-high low cut half-soaked white dress made things more unbearable. Tears were forming in her eyes.

"Drei... You should have told her that you needed time. I'm sure if you only had done so? Amber could have granted it at least, instead of you running away".

Andrea ran a hand through her locks as she lets out a heavy breathe; the feeling of that heavy lump building in her throat was unexplainable.

It just sunk into her the fact that she was already married, against her will.

The ceremony was private and simple, officiated by the ship captain in the luxurious yacht the Cornell family owns.

Again she was married, but how unfair was it that she was not even given the chance to have the time to think things through? To enjoy its momentum just like how most excited bride usually experienced; those sappy romantic surprised proposal, flowers or peach colored theme she had always secretly dreamt for her future wedding and alas the long walk on the elegant red carpeted aisle.

She didn't get any. The supposedly sacred affection filled ceremony was just about a paper being signed witnessed by those mere faces closely knitted to the family.

But you know what the worst part of it? She was married to someone whose heart was still owned by somebody else's. Andrea could not believe that she'll end up just like her mother trap in a fruitless marriage bound by lies.

Never had she thought that there would come a day she'd be put in that suffocating imprisoning situation.

The red haired young Russell was already presented with this irresistible offer of some sort of rescue before the wedding but fearing of the probable outcome of that stupid run-away plan, she was hesitant.

But when Andrea can no longer take the overdrive emotions anymore realizing how foolish everything indeed was for her and Amber, she found herself giving her other friends a rescue-me-pleading look.

Riding a jet ski that Vladimir sneaked in, Andrea found her way out when she excused herself from the stifling atmosphere of the after so called wedding reception or event's dinner gathering. She took advantage of how the young female chancellor was in a deep conversation with Atty. Santiago and Private Gilbourne.

"No it is not just that Khryst, It is not just that!" The red haired girl adamantly conflicted.

"Even if she did give me some time there's no way I could prepare myself. I could have chosen to marry Vladimir than marrying someone who will just use me to secure her way out of our family's mess." She tried but failed to stop herself from breaking a sob.
