Escape- a petris story

Chapter 20

PETER POV:

13 days pass

Yay, my wedding day...

I take a sigh and stand at the wedding aisle and look out to were she will be coming in.

People have been congratulating me, but they have an awkward and sympathy tone in their voice.

Do they know something I don't? I can't help but feel betrayed by everyone, if there was something to say say it now to me..

I walk towards one of my close friends but I see her. She walks through the gates trying to be discreet. She shuffles through everyone towards the church. She turns her head towards me before she can see my face.

I leave my friends talking about God knows what.

I creep into the church and sit in the back row. Tris stands under the archway looking towards the stained glass windows.

"Why?! Why are you with her?? Why couldn't you of waited for me, you should of known I was looking for you and I won't give up on you. Didn't you think I was looking for you? Do you really think I would of just left you all alone and got on with my life. I spent months trying over and over again to climb over that wall. But I failed. I have gained bruises all other my body because of how many times I crashed into the walls. I went partly death as I crashed God knows how may feet to hard ground. I nearly died... But it's not just that. It's the fact that when I did arrive here you shouted at me. You SHOUTED at ME?! After everything I went through.. And you said I took to long? I'm sorry, but that wall was electric, and I didn't eat or drink.. You left me for someone you met a few months ago. You left me for a liar. I know you won't hear this and that you will never see me again. So that is why.. I came here. Just to see you one more time and to be able to let it out. But not only that. I feel bad for not telling you the truth. I feel bad for letting you marry her and not know what's going to happen for the future. I'm leaving. In 2 days. I'm not going to look back. I'm going to never see this place again.. Or you. I'm going to start all over again. But I'm not going to let you marry that liar." Tris turned around and looked me dead in the eye,
"I knew you were there. I thought it would be easier to say it without having to see your face." She lets out a breathe, "I overheard Piper. And a few other people. They are looking at you with sorrow because they know what piper really is. She's going to marry you, make you sign a contract saying if she divorced you, she would take everything From you and run away with Robbie to somewhere. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you got married to her now. But, I need to tell you this now... I didn't come here to win you back, I just came here to tell you. Whatever you do now, it doesn't apply to me. I'm going. You can find someone else to go and marry. But not me."
"But-"
"No!! I do not care.. You hurt me.. You made me lock myself up in my house, lose my job, and you ignored me. I tried to win you back but you shouted at me and said to leave you alone. So I will. Good luck with your life. But please, don't marry her and please please please don't say anything to me. It will only make it worse."

She smiled and gave me One last hug and walked off. I stood there frozen, trying to process everything. My tris is leaving. And it's cause of me. And I can't do anything. Unless I can.

I can hear her heels walking away but then I realise it's not her it's piper. I turn and see her walking down the path.
I look around and see everyone sitting quietly. I clear my throat and speed walk to the aisle.
I plaster a fake smile onto my lips and watch as she walks towards me. She looks into my eyes. I used to see future and love. But now all I see is darkness filled with lies and secrets. I try to stay calm. I can't help but think about tris while the priest rants on. Soon I hear piper say I do.
