A Markle Love Story

Chapter 40 A Chance

Enjoy the chapter! xoxo

Farkle's POV:
On the night before the wedding, all I could think about was Maya. I didn't know why. I was still questioning whether marrying Sierra was a good decision or not. I just couldn't decide. I was having second thoughts. I needed to put aside these feelings.
My fiancee and I invited everyone to the rehearsal dinner at a hotel that night. Riley, Lucas, Isadora, Zay, Maya including Collin and everyone else was going to be there. After everyone came, I said my speech. "Thank you everyone for coming. I really appreciate it. Growing up, I was a pretty weird kid. I was bullied for the way my hair looked, clothes, and for being a brainiac. Right Mr. Matthews?"
"Right."
I continued, "I loved being unique. Five people made me who I am today. Zay made the most hilarious jokes. We were good buddies back in high school. Isadora (Smackle), I still laugh at the times when we were enemies. I was glad I knew someone who was a genius like me. Lucas made me toughen up. He's kind of a big brother to me. The reason why I changed my hair and clothes in middle school was because I looked up to him. He got all the girls and I was jealous. Once I changed my looks, people actually started to notice me. Thanks. Riley motivated me to try new things. And she has this big smile on her face everyday. Maya is the kind of person you can rely on."
I looked at her.
"She cares about me a lot. I have to admit, she's my best friend. I can always count on her. Maya was my high school sweetheart. The good old times. She taught me how to love."
I looked away from Maya. She gave me the tingling sensation. I had feeling of guilt. Did I really choose the wrong person? Is Sierra good enough for me? I had to focus.
"There's one person who's really just my better half..... Sierra. You makes me smile every time I get the chance to see you. You're so incredibly beautiful. Falling in love with you was the best thing that's ever happened to me."
I gulped. It didn't feel good to say that. All I said was lies. A sick feeling hit my stomach.
"Um... that's the end of my speech."
Sierra said her speech. She said sweet things to me. She's really amazing but was marrying her the right thing to do? I can't just blow off the wedding. We put a lot of work in it. I also didn't want to break my finance's heart.

Maya's POV:
They said their speeches and we started to eat dinner. I felt a tap on my shoulder. Farkle.
He whispered, "Hey, is it okay if I talked to you for a second?"
I nodded.  He took me by my hand and pulled me towards the elevator.
"Where are we going, Farkle?"
Farkle ignored me. He pushed the elevator button. The door opened. We went inside. Suddenly he pushed the emergency stop the elevator button. I was confused.
I furiously said, "Why did you do that?!?!"
He sighed. "We have to be alone together. No one can see us because of the deal we made with Amy. Right?"
"Yeah."
Farkle said, "Tomorrow is the wedding. I'm afraid of saying "I do" at the altar. It's a big commitment. What should I do?"
His eyes looked very serious. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't just decide for him. I kept thinking about when he chose her over me. It still hurt, but I was trying to make it work between me and Collin.
"Farkle, what do you think? You proposed to Sierra. Any girl would be lucky to have you as a husband."
Tears fell from my face. I just want him all to myself.
I continued, "Say "I do." I know you love her as much as she loves you. Don't ruin your chance of a happy ending."
He hugged me.
"A chance?"
I said. "A chance."
Before we left the elevator Farkle grabbed my hand.
"Maya..."
I stared at him. "Yeah?"
"Never mind."
He ran off back to the party. I frowned. I realized I didn't want to see Farkle marry someone else in front of my eyes. It would be too painful. Is missing his best day of his life will be worth it? Or will it be the worst day of my life?
