The Good and the Bad

Forever-Alexander's P.O.V.

***W E D D I N G   D A Y***

I stand there with Michael by my side anticipating the arrival of my fiancé. I've been anticipation ng this day for weeks, months even. Shes literally all I can ask for and more.

When Ij met Bronx, she was in a really bad state. In fact when I met her she was sobbing and crying outside off the university. I walked up to her and asked her what was wrong and she looked up at me and I already knew I was hooked. Her eyes were like clouds that you could get lost in a million times over. And I did.

She told me about Damien when we first met. How he died. How it was by far the worst and best experience she had. That she didn't think that she could love someone like that again. That someone could mean so much to her again.

So i sat down on the curb next to her. I told her that I could make her fall in love with me. She laughed and shook her head making all of her hair fall out of its ponytail and onto her back. She told me she highly doubted that. That after that, true love is not possible.

Three weeks later we were officially dating. It wasn't until a month later that she told me about Reece. Reece never looked at me as  father figure in her life, nor did I expect her to. She looked at me as like an adult friend. Someone to play and hang out with. Someone who was fun-loving and caring. Bronx thought it was just a faze. I diet believe that.

Hen I met Bronx's family, it was kind of...what's the word...intimidating. Yeah, intimidating. Her mother was the hardest on me. She kept asking me every question known to man. Then Camilla just stared at me and asked me is I was an asshole and left the room. Then Johnathan really didn't say much. He seemed too closed off but super open to Bronx. Then her Aunt B was the nicest. All fun and welcoming. She made dinner and it was amazing. As for her step mom and her dad and two step siblings, they were okay. Not much to say about them though. It was a quick and brief meeting with them.

"Where is she?" I ask as a rhetorical question.

Michael shrugs. "Aspen texted me saying they were running late even though she texted me that they'd be here in five more minutes, ten minutes ago."

I sigh and comb a hand through my hair looking back at the church doors. The doors to the church burst open and Camila comes rushing in out of breath ad her dark hair falling out of its hairstyle. I meet her halfway down the long isle.

"Is something wrong Cami? Where's B?" I ask looking behind her for her.

She shakes her head making her hair fall out even more. "Shes not coming. "

My mouth drops am the way to the floor. "What do you men Shes not coming? Were getting married."

"Alex, Damien is alive. You know this why would she throwaway everything she has had with him away? She loves you and she would marry you, but she doest want to give everything to you except her heart since its in Damien's possession. Its setting your relationship up for disaster if anything. She is saving you the heart break and heart ache." She explains to me trying to make it better.
