The Prince and the Maid: A Divergent Story

Ch. 30: Ruined

Tris POV:

I walk down the aisle with Nico and we go on our different sides.
After a long, long time, Nita walks down the aisle.
The priest begins the ceremony.
I feel tears run down my face.
"Now for the vows." The priest.
"I'll go." Nita says. "Tobias, I love you and I will always love you. You put up with me all the time. And I will cherish you as long as I live."
Tobias smiles weakly. He opens his mouth to begin speaking and his eyes meet mine.
"I love you and I will always love for as long as I live and I never want to be away from you. I'll cherish you from the beginning to the end and I'll support you when your happy. I'll comfort you when you're sad. Today you give me your heart to keep forever and I will keep it for as long as I live and after I die." Tobias says.
Our eye contact never broke once.
They begin saying the marriage vows.
A sob escapes my mouth.
"Awww. She's so happy for them." I hear a couple of people whisper.
Christina, who is right behind me, hugs me.
"Nita DiLauré do you take Tobias Eaton to be you lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asks.
"I do."
"And do you Tobias Eaton take Nita DiLauré to be you lawfully wedded wife?"
He looks at me.
I feel the tears fall down much more faster than before.
He still says nothing.
He opens his mouth and closes it.
Like a fish.
I can't stand it and anymore. I run out of the garden, out of the palace, and into the woods.
I run to the spring and climb in the hidden spot behind the spring and sob.
Sob like I've never sobbed before.
I run my hands through my hair.
I bang my hands against the cold rock platform under me.
I don't know what to do.
I want him.
I love him.
"Oh my gosh! What the hell do I do? What the hell do I freaking do?" I ask myself.
I feel like I'm stuck in a cage.
I feel so disclosed from the rest of everything else.
This dress, that I'm wearing.
I'm going to destroy it just like the wedding destroyed my love life.
I jump into the spring and begin ripping the bottom of the dress.
I scream in frustration.
The dress is ruined and so is my life.
I begin crying again.
I climb back to the hidden spot and sit there.
Thinking about my biggest regret.
