Another year. My 26th birthday was yesterday and it's my wedding day today. I took a deep breath as I stared at myself in the mirror. "How you feel" my sister asked as she walked in the room. I shrugged. "I feel." I started to say when I stopped. "Like mariah" I said and she laughed. "You always been her. I love you babygirl." She said. "I love you" I said. "Ima get out here. Pray baby" she said and I nodded. "I will" I said and she kissed my cheek and then walked out. I said my prayers and got ready. I latched my arm onto my dads and he kissed my cheek and I smirked. My eyes watered up. I never thought I would be getting married. It's funny but then again it's sad. You know. The doors opened and I held in my tears and we started to walk down the aisle. I seen reggie standing at the alter and He smirked and I did too. Of course I invited jacari , cameron, jamere and the rest of them. Even though it's not seaton I'm marrying they still came. I sent him a invitation , seeing his face would have made my day better but looking around the room I don't see him. Really wish koby was here though. He most definitely would've made everything perfect. I did it. I got married. Everybody cheered and I was so happy, But I also was upset, emotional. Reggie kissed my cheek and rubbed my back. "We gone be ight baby" he said and I smirked and nodded. "I know" I said and he smirked. "Excuse me ma. But we needa borrow my boy for a second" his bestfriend lloyd said. I laughed and nodded. "Okay" I said. "Ima be right back baby" he said. "Alright babe" I said and he kissed my lips and walked away. I looked at my dad and him and my sister were dancing. And I'm so glad their back cool. My mom was having a good time too. Everybody was. "Babygirl got married" I heard a voice say. I looked up and seen seaton and my heart dropped. He smiled then He sat down and folded his hands. The tears that I didn't even know was there had fell. He looked at me and smiled again. "You look beautiful ma. Stop cryin" he said and I nodded and wiped my tears away. "I'm proud of you baby. I am. This what I wanted you to do. I wanted you to find better and find happiness. I ain't Think you a do it but you did it" he said. "I'm happy for you ma" he said. "I love you so much seaton" I said. "I love you too" he said as he grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Koby woulda been so happy yo" he said and I laughed. "Yeah I know" I said and he nodded. "It's crazy. It was suppose to be mariah banks now it's mariah....." He said waiting for me to say my last name. "Boyer" I said and he nodded. "Boyer." He said. It got quiet. I couldn't stop staring. "Happy late birthday baby" he said as he pulled something out his suit pocket. He sat the box on the table then he kissed my cheek and got up then he walked away. He looked at me and nodded then he turned away and continued to walk until he reached the door and walked out. I opened the box and pulled out a necklace. It was a note in it too. I unfolded the paper and started to read. "Not knowin it's me you gettin married to is hard to take in cause I know how much we both wanted that shit. On the other hand though I'm proud of you baby. And ima always love you. You know that too. Don't ever question that cause at the end of the day , the start of tomorrow and the end of the world you belong to me and I belong to you. Be happy , live yo life. That's all I want you to be and that's all I want you to do babygirl. I love you always and forever , forever and a day. And just to make you smile I just licked my lips too. I love you.
Yours truly, Seaton"
I smirked and wiped my tears away and I looked at the necklace and it had a locket on it. I opened it and it was a picture of me and him that we took probably a month after we met each other. I put the necklace on then put the paper back in the box and closed it. reggie came back and sat next to
me. "My bad baby" he said as he kissed my cheek. "I love you" he said. I pecked his lips and smirked. "I love you too" I said. "Ayo you never leavin me alright" he said and I laughed and nodded. "I'm foreal. We in this forever" he said and I smirked.
