"I.." Christina's mind was caught in seeing her best friend leaving, hurt because of her. His departure was playing in her mind over and over again.
"Chris.." Damon whispered, she was immediately pulled back into reality. He never called her that. Only Kendall did. Damon's angelic face now turned into a furious glare. "Answer." He gritted his teeth. He no longer was the Damon she loved.. The sparks she felt when she looked at him had vanished.
"I.." She bit her lip. She turned to the guests, everyone was anxiously waiting for her response.
"Christina." Damon angrily whispered.
"No." She glared.
"What?" He gritted between his teeth. Christina pulled her engagement ring off and shoved it in his hand. She picked up her wedding dress and walked down the aisle. Avoiding everyone's glares. She felt Damon's hand grip her forearm, and twirl her around to face him. The guests had stood up at the sight of the bride leaving.
"I'm not marrying a overprotective psychopath who takes away the ones I love the most." She yanked her arm away from her grip. Dustin and Logan had gotten closer to the scene, waiting to break them up. "I am also not going to let you hurt Kendall again. Yes, I found out you went to his house and beat him up," She added angrily, "Lay a hand on him again and I swear I will send you to the hospital and I am not moving to England with you. I love my best friend."
Dustin smiled as Christina turned around and walked out of the church. "Christina!" Damon bellowed behind her. She turned to see him closer that she thought. Kevin jumped in front of him just in time.
"You beat up my brother, you son of a bitch!" Kevin tackled him down as he threw repeated punches, Courtney ran towards her, grabbing her hand, running towards the side of the building.
"He left. He's not here anymore." Her heart beat slowed down. Kendall was gone.
"Where did he go?" She looked around the parking lot searching for his car, her heels were killing her feet. She couldn't run any faster than Courtney. She opened the car door for her and gave her the keys as she got in the driver's seat.
"All I know is that he took Dustin's car, but you need to hurry up and leave. I'll stay back and take care of everything. Christina... He loves you." She reminded her. Christina's eyes watered.
"I know, and I can't believe I was so stupid to not even realize it."
"Christina.. Get yourself together, find him, and hide. Damon will find a way to get you both and hurt Kendall. Trust me, that's been his plan all along." She suddenly winked and patted the door of the car. "Go get him, girl." Christina started the car, slammed the door shut and sped out of the parking lot. On her way to find her true love.

Christina had been parked outside of Kendall's house for about five minutes. There was no car in sight and obviously he would leave Dustin's car out of the garage. She punched the steering wheel in desperation.
"Damn it, Kendall. Where are you?" She cried. She hated herself for leaving her cellphone at home, thinking today was just going to be a no-cellphone needed day.
She had driven around the block a few times, and decided to drive again. She caught a few neighbors staring at her. Of course, it wasn't every day that you saw a bride with smudged make-up and ruined up do driving around like she was lost.
She was lost, she didn't know what to do, where to find Kendall. She didn't know what to say when she saw him again. She had hurt him bad, hurt him 'til no end. His sad face kept replaying, but now there were two scenes going through her mind; the one where he left the ceremony, and the one where he left her bedroom after confessing his love.
She was on the point of crying again, her hand went up to her mouth. Trying to stop her lips from trembling, she let her fingertips slide down her neck where she felt the chain of her necklace.
Her mind clicked just as she neared an intersection, she made a sharp turn right.

She had just arrived at the park as she headed towards the forest trail. Trying to remember the way there, Left, right around that tree she remembered his voice. She spotted the tree he had pointed out and continued the trail.
She had found the meadow, the scattered clouds had formed beautiful pattern in the green grass. She saw a man, kneeled down, his coat was on the ground to the side of him. She leaned against the tree, as she heard him speak to himself.
"I needed you.." He breathed. "You're gone.. You were mine, and he had to take you away from me." He held his arms together. "I don't see a life without you."
Christina bit her lip, and tried to decide when it was a good time to let him know he wasn't alone in the meadow.
"I loved you. I love you. I'll always love you." He yelled. As soon as he began to sob, Christina kicked her heels off, picking up her dress, running towards him. Kneeling-falling down on the floor and hugging him from behind. He turned around to see who it was, his knees gave up and made him fall backward.
"Chris?"
How does that new cover look? ;) Thought it was appropriate to have kendall in a tuxedo. Vote for Part 9!
