i stared at the invitation. there was her name tied together with his in cursive. the date the wedding would be held was at the bottom of the card. my heart was slowly breaking as i thought about her marrying someone else. i threw the card down on the table and put my coat on. i walked out of the house to clear my head. 

she would always talk about how she wanted a big wedding when we were in high school. i guess she finally found someone able to give her that. as much as i didn't want to go to that wedding, i knew i had to. i had to see her. 

the day that i dreaded had finally come. i tightened the tie on my neck as i looked in the mirror. i just wanted to get this over with. it was like torturing myself, but i knew i would regret it if i didn't go. 

once i got there and sat in one of the hard pews i thought i would be okay. i was wrong. it got too much for me, so i had to run out of the church. i found myself drowning in whiskey at a local bar wondering where i  went wrong. 

*your pov*

my eyes searched for a particular person as i looked out of the window. when i saw him stand up my heart stopped. i couldn't believe he actually came. my face fell when he made his way out of the church. it was in that moment that i knew, i didn't want to marry the guy i thought i loved. i want to marry the guy i do love. 

i picked up the bottom of my dress as my feet moved quickly away from all of the family members. i had no clue where i was running to, but somehow i ended up at a familiar bar. the one where i first met shawn. i opened the door, and there he was sitting on a stool staring at a half empty glass of brown liquid. 

"shawn," my voice was soft and barely audible over the loud music. his eyes looked up from the glass and met mine. his face softened when he saw my puffy red eyes. he got off the wooden stool to walk towards me. i'm pretty sure everyone in the bar was looking at us. 

"y/n," the way he said my name made me get goosebumps. i smiled when he got close to me. he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. 

"i love you y/n. i miss you so much, i wish we could just start over." he said holding me tightly. 

"then lets start over again."
