"Marylin, I'm leaving."
We were sitting on the swing, I was leaning on him. We were best friends since 3rd grade. Now we're in highschool, moving forward to college. But there was a problem.
I fell in love with him.
No matter how long I've denied it...
It's been about 4 years since Anthony saved my life, and I got my memory back.
Today is our wedding.
"Marylin! I still need to fix your hair!" My mom tried fixing my hair, even though it's already fixed.
"Mom, it's already fixed!"
"I know, I know. But today is your wedding, and I want to make it perfect."
"Not all weddings are perfect."
"As long as you guys finally go the extra mile, then that's perfectly fine with me. Just don't forget to use protection."
"Mom!"
I've been a virgin up until this moment, and so is Anthony. We both decided not to give it to one another, unless we were officially married.
"Well, it's true."
The bells chimed. It was time. My mom jumped in excitement. We left the room and went in front of the doors leading to the ballroom.
My dad was waiting for me. "My little baby is all grown up..." His eyes were watering. "Come on. It's time."
I looped my arm around his, and we walked down the aisle. People were in awe when they saw my dress. But I was in awe when I saw Anthony.
Once I was up next to him, the ceremony began. It felt like the world stopped when the priest began speaking.
"Anthony, would you like to say your vows?"
"Yes. Marylin, when I first laid my eyes on you, I thought, 'She looks so lonely.' So I talked to you. Hoping we would be friends for life. But when you told me to stay, I couldn't. For years, my heart wanted you. I just never wanted to believe it. But now I'm ready to believe it. I love you Marylin. Always have, and always will. I'm sorry for everything. I promise to never hurt you again."
The crowd awed. "Marylin?"
"I hated you the first time we time met. You couldn't seem to get the idea that I didn't want you near me. But looking back... I'm glad I met you. I know we had our ups and downs, but I had no idea I'd fallen for you. I so scared to admit it. But now I'm ready. I love you Anthony. And no matter how many times you hurt me, I will always forgive and love you."
The crowd awed again. "Do you, Anthony, take Marylin to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Do you, Marylin, take Anthony to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"The rings, please." The ring bearer came out. Anthony carefully slipped on my ring, and I did the same to him. "You may now, kiss the bride."
Anthony brought my face closer to his. We sealed the deal and the crowd went wild.
