Can't Fight It (Heath Hussar Fic)

14// The Wedding Planner

| Sabrina's POV |

The text messages never stopped and when they did they were replaced by phone calls. Heath was relentlessly trying to reach Sabrina but she would delete the messages and ignore the calls. He'd taken it too far and she was over it. She never expected he'd put her through this and expect to still be part of her life. It hurt, far more than any rejections he'd thrown her way in the past. But she was ready to move past it.

The wedding rehearsal dinner was soon approaching. All month, after the incident they encountered with Heath, Sabrina and Ken occupied themselves with preparations for the wedding. Sabrina chose out her dress along with her mother and Lexi. She felt lucky to have Ken during this time as he made sure to take over picking out the venue, the flowers, the cake and everything else with the wedding planner.

The month goes by in the blink of an eye and Sabrina is standing before her floor length mirror admiring her reflection in her white cocktail dress. Tomorrow is the big day where she'll walk down the aisle toward the man she will spend forever with. A rushed thought of contemplations crosses her mind but she shakes it off and takes a sip of her champagne.

"Sabrina, sweetie, the guests are arriving," her mother calls out from downstairs.

She smooths over her dress and gives herself one more look before taking a deep breath and heading downstairs. She greets, hugs and is congratulated by family friends, and gets too meet some of Ken's family that have flown in from around the country to be part of their special day. She feels at ease with Ken by her side as they go around thanking them for being part of this special moment in their lives.

Out of the corner of her eye she sees a sore thumb walk into the room in jeans, sneakers and a badly patterned shirt. Zane immediately goes to Lexi hugging her, as they've been seeing each other for the past month. Sabrina excuses herself and approaches him.

"Baby," Zane contains himself from shouting as he hugs Sabrina tightly. "Look at you all growed up, looking fabulous. Congrats." He pretends to wipe a tear away.

Zane and Sabrina have been in contact the whole time and he continues to apologize and feel guilty for what Heath did. But she assures him it's not his fault.

"I have some bad news," Zane starts. Sabrina looks worried. "I won't be able to make it to the wedding tomorrow."

Sabrina feels a sting in her chest. "Why not?" She questions. She hates to imagine her big day without him there.

"We've decided to move to California. Los Angeles actually. It's been in the works for about a month and we leave tomorrow." Zane says apologetically. He's sorry he won't be there for her.

Sabrina doesn't need clarification when Zane refers to 'we'. She knows he means Heath and him and a part of her is sad to know they're both moving away. She also knows that it's no coincidence that their move is happening the day of her wedding. In that moment she wishes everything would have turned out differently and she could have two of the most important people in her life there with her but alas fate decided against it.

Zane's news put a dent in her mood for the rest of the night but Sabrina did her best to hide it. She enjoyed dinner and a few congratulatory speeches from her parents, Ken's parents, and a very special one from Lexie. It was perfect yet Sabrina wondered why she felt something was missing.

The night ended blissfully and the nerves were kicked up a notch knowing the wedding was merely hours away. Traditionally, Sabrina and Ken were expected to sleep on two different beds the night before the wedding but nothing about this wedding was traditional. As she lay in bed, mind racing with a million thoughts, she could hear a phone buzzing repeatedly next to her. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

It was Ken's, she figured he'd left it behind while he was having a few more drinks downstairs with his brother who had flown in from Boston. Not wanting to intrude she let it be, but it continued. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

She picked it up, Camille their wedding planner had sent over eight messages. With that many Sabrina speculated it must be urgent regarding the ceremony or reception so she helped herself to opening Ken's phone. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Camille

before she does

Sabrina was in shock. She couldn't move, she couldn't form coherent thoughts and she couldn't even cry. Her chest burned and inside she could feel herself screaming but no sound was escaping her.

The next couple of hours were hell. She found her voice from within and damned Ken to hell when he tried to explain himself. But there was no justification here, he had been fucking their wedding planner the entire time and Sabrina finally understood why he wanted to be in charge of all the arrangements. It gave him enough time and privacy to run off with that woman.

Sabrina kicked him out of her parents house and called everything off. The wedding was cancelled. Sabrina's world had crumbled around her and there was nothing she could do but cry.
