you are cordially invited to charlotte bolton and blake jackson's wedding!
we hope to see you there!
sincerely, future mr. and mrs. jackson.
henry sighed putting the invitation down. his heart ached with a longing feeling of how he wouldn't be able to ever have his chance with the love of his life.
he remembers that one moment, their freshman year of college where he had almost kissed her while he was helping her prepare for a huge end of the year exam but chickened out, when he thought about all the negative consequences that could happen.
he realized that maybe if he would've kissed her, he'd be the one marrying charlotte and not some other man.
he knew everything about her and even her perfect wedding dream that he worked hard to accomplish, always hoping that it was him she'd marry.
yet, henry always knew that she wanted to get married, but never to him.

few months passed by and it was the day of his best friend's wedding. he wore his suit and tie as tears brimmed his eyes when he saw her father hand her over to someone else who wasn't him.
when he had first arrived at the scene he saw her talking to some of her family members and thought about pulling her a side so he could get everything off his chest but he decided against it cause he didn't want to be the one to ruin the happiest day of her life.
his heart ached at the thought and he quickly snuck out of church, going out to his truck as he tried to regain his posture and be happy for her.
he opened his truck and hopped in, pulling out a bottle of whiskey, taking a strong sip of it, just so he could fake his happiness with much more ease.
hours passed for the ceremony and they were now at the reception, eating and dancing.
henry sat at the bar in the lobby with a few friends of their's from high school.
jasper came and sat by his friend, placing a hand on his shoulder. "how are you holding up, buddy?" jasper asked, knowing all about henry's feelings for charlotte.
"i'm at one of my best friend's wedding, celebrating it as i pretend to be happy and supportive about it. i'd say i'm doing peachy." henry replied, taking a shot from the small glass ordering for a refill.
"you'll find someone who will love you endlessly." jasper said, trying to cheer him up.
"well, if it's not charlotte, i don't care." he replied, his face showing no emotion, but his voice dripping sadness.
his thoughts were in a whirlwind inside his head as he kept thinking the same thing over and over again.
charlotte got married. and she didn't get married to him.
a/n; it's almost 1am and i should be sleeping cause i have school so yes, i know this horrible.
this was pretty much inspired by thomas rhett's song marry me.
i'm sorry this was bad and hopefully i'll have a cute/fluffy one shot up soon.
love, evelyn
