I stared at the invitation, Jacky knew how much this upset me. He knew how much I loved him, yet he goes and stomps on my heart.
"Hey!" Ronnie said tapping on the window, snapping my attention away from the invitation. Him and Jenna were standing there with concerned looks.
"Are you alright?" Jenna questioned a concerned look on her face. I nodded and realized I had tears forming in my eyes.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute." I said avoiding their eyes. I heard them walk away, Jenna's heels giving it away.
*flashback*
"Jacky, I have do tell you something." I told my best friend, the guy I was madly in love with.
At the moment he was dating someone, but if I told him how I felt, he might realize he has the same feelings as me, that he was only dating her to make me jealous.
"Yeah, why is it babe?" He asked looking at me, his eyes filled with concern.
"Ja-Jacky, I, um, I love you." The three simple words coming from my mouth. His eyes lost their concern and filled with something I've never seen.
"Em, you know I have a girlfriend! I'm going to propose to her tonight at dinner." He said. I nodded my head, he invited all of his friends to that dinner. Everyone besides me. I was going to be stuck here on the tour bus all night, broken hearted.
"Sorry," I said and walked to my bunk. I'm such a fucking idiot! I should've kept it to myself! I thought me and Jacky were best friends, but I was sadly wrong.
I closed the curtain and shoved my head into my pillow, holding back my sobs. I've never really had a broken heart, I've always been the one to break hearts. Now it was like a punch in the stomach.
I then heard the door open and all the guys got on the bus, all of them sounding happy with their girlfriends. While I was here, being torn to shreds by how happy they were. Well, they deserve it, their all amazing guys.
"Where's Em at?" I heard Ryan ask.
"I guess sleeping." Jacky answered going back to whatever he was doing. I sighed and rolled onto my side, my back faced the curtain. If they were to check on me, they'd think I was sleeping.
"Well we better get ready for tonight!" Jacky said happily. I sighed and closed my eyes, I wish I could just disappear, have the ground just open up and swallow me.
I snapped back into reality, I had to go and support Jacky. He was getting married and I had to be a true friend, I had to overcome my own feelings. I had to learn that the hard way.
I got out of my car, almost accidentally hitting Ryan in the process. "Whoa, watch it there!" He joked. I hadn't seen them since that night.
*flashback*
Everyone had gone to have a good time, Jacky to propose. I had already called a taxi to come pick me up at a restaurant near the bus. I was going to have the taxi take me to the airport, I was going home.
I didn't leave a note or letter, I just left.
"Haha, whoops, sorry!" I apologized hugging him. He hugged back and kissed my head. That's probably why Jenna and Ronnie checked in on me while I was in the car.
"How've you been you lil' shit?" Ryan asked nudging me. I laughed as I stumbled in my heels. "Whoa, sorry about that!" He said steering me back in the direction of the church doors. This was going to hurt like fuck, watch the love of my life marry someone else.
"You're gonna sit by us right?" Jenna asked as her and Ronnie were about to sit down. I nodded and gave Ryan a hug as he was going to go sit with his girlfriend.
I sat down beside Ronnie and sighed. I didn't want to be here, but I wanted to support Jacky.
*reception*
The wedding took what felt like forever, every second my heard broke more and more. I guess all of Jacky's close friends were sat at one table because I was sat at the one where Ronnie, Max, Derek, and Ryan all sat. It surprised me that none of the guys were in the wedding.
"Hey Em, Jacky wants to dance with you, go!" Max said encouragingly. I shook my head, I didn't want to dance with the man who broke my heart a couple months ago.
"Go on!" Ryan said nudging my shoulder once again today. I shook my head once again, I absolutely did not want to dance with him.
"Em, just go!" Derek groaned, I knew this was annoying him. I shook my head once again and picked my napkin up.
"I'm gonna go outside, I need to clear my head." I said getting up, the tears were filling my eyes. I started walking outside and realized Jacky was by the door.
Fuck, dodge him! I thought avoiding eye contact with him and walking straight as if I hadn't seen him. I wanted to go home, get out of this dress, and crawl into my bed.
I got outside and just took one big breath, then another, and another. I probably looked incredibly stupid but it was helping.
"What're you doing?" I heard a British voice ask from behind me. The only British voice I knew was Jacky's, so what did he want?
"What do you want Vincent?" I asked hurt. I didn't want to deal with him, at all. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into him, what the fuck was he doing? "What the fuck do you think you're doing, go to your newly wedded wife!" I shouted trying to pull my arm back.
"No Em, I can dump her! I want to be with you! Only you!" He said, seeming to cry out.
"Jacky stop!" I cried trying to pull my arm back because he was starting to hurt me. He gripped my arm a lot tighter and pulled me into him.
"I only want you." He whispered before pulling his lips to mine. That's when I knew, Jacky was leaving his now ex-wife and we would be one.
*four years later*
"Uncle Ryan!" I heard Maggie, me and Jacky's three year old daughter cheered. Ryan picked up the girl and swung her around.
I held me and Jacky's one year old in my arms, his name was Tyler. I looked at Jacky and saw he was already looking at me, a smile plastered on his face.
"I'll never regret it." He whispered in my ear. I automatically understood what me was talking about. I looked at him and smiled, I don't regret it either.
We were a happy family.
