So Close (A Rierra Fanfiction)

The Wedding

Sierra
She looked at herself in the mirror. Today was the day. Today was supposed to be the happiest day of her life.

She looked at her dress. It was everything she had dreamed off and more. Ever since she was a little girl she had dreamed that she would look like a princess on her wedding day, and she did. But she didn't feel like a princess. She didn't feel like a princess at all.
She sat down on the perfect white sofa in the room she was getting dressed in.

All brides had second thoughts right? The thought of being with just one person for the rest of your life was bound to scare anyone. Well not anyone. To Sierra, that wouldn't be hard at all. She had always been a very committed person. It wasn't really the thought of being with one person for the rest of her life that was scaring her, it was the fact she was about to commit to spending the rest of her life with the wrong person.

The wrong person... Was Tam really the wrong person? They had only dated for 6 months before getting engaged, but they had been together for several years before. Until he cheated on her that is.

That was right, he had cheated on her. How could she trust him again? If she wasn't good enough for him the first time around, how could she possibly be good enough for him now?

"No stop it!" she thought to herself. They had already been over this. Sierra had always believed that everyone deserves a second chance, and Tam had told her time and time again how sorry he was.

She stood up and went back to the mirror. She was being ridiculous. Tam loved her, and she loved him...off course she loved him, why else would she have agreed to marry him?
It wasn't as if she was still 23 and had time to figure this out. She was 35, and it was clear that the universe wanted her to marry Tam. Why else would she always end up running back to him? Despite all this, she couldn't help but wish she wasn't marrying Tam. There was only one person she could really imagine ending up with.

But this isn't a fairy tale. He's married to a women who he loves more than anything else and has two beautiful children.

Every bride gets cold feet. This was normal. She just had to pull herself out of it.
She took a deep breath, and as she did she heard a knock at the door.

"Come in!" she yelled.
It was Allegra. "Are you ready to go?" she said
Sierra turned round.
"Oh my gosh" Allegra said, suddenly.
"What? What is it? Is it my hair?"
"No, Sierra. You look beautiful" She said, reaching for Sierra's hand.
Sierra smiled, and hugged her younger sister.
"Let's go" Sierra said, squeezing Allegra's hand.

Ramin
If Ramin was perfectly honest, he didn't really want to see his two best friends get married today.

It's not that he wasn't happy for them, he was. They deserved each other. He just didn't want to be there.

Before actually going into the chapel, Ramin made sure to say hello to Summer and Allegra, before trying to get into Sierra's room to wish her luck.
However, Summer and Allegra were quick to stop him, each of them grabbing one of his arms.

"You can't go in and see her Ramin! She's already nervous enough!" Allegra said.
"Anyway, it's bad luck to see the bride in her dress before the wedding!" Summer said.
"No, that's only for the groom" Ramin laughed awkwardly, suddenly finding the floor very interesting.

"Yes... I know... I just... forgot" Summer said, just as awkwardly.
" Don't worry, you'll see her later anyway" Allegra said "anyway it's great to see you Ramin, I'll see you later" She turned around and walked to Sierra's room.
As he turned around he felt Summer grab his arm.
"Ramin, don't worry she'll be thrilled to see you. She'll find a way to come and talk to you later"
"Thanks Summer" Ramin smiled at her, and Summer smiled back.
He found his wife, who was already at the bar, ordering her second drink. He took her by the arm and the two walked into the chapel. Mandy bringing her drink with her, obviously.
