Andrew~

She was beautiful. Her face glowed in her happiness. She looked as though she was floating down the aisle. Her eyes were lit up with excitement, her dark, wavy hair framed her heart-shaped face. Her dress flared out delicately at the train; reminding me of an inverted calla-lily. It was cut so that she would look graceful and elegant. And she did. We said our vows and then it was finally time to kiss the bride. I cradled her face gently between my hands. A smile lit up her face and I leaned in for the sealing kiss. The one that mattered the most. And in that second, I remembered why I fell in love with her. It was amazing how a single kiss could make you feel so whole. It didn't feel completely right though. Probably because the girl that I truly loved, the one that really mattered wasn't the girl that I held in my arms. She was standing off to the side, smiling at us. Even though the smile didn't completely reach her eyes. I had to do what I knew was right though. Even if it wasn't what I wanted. I pulled away and she stared lovingly into my eyes. Why couldn't I love her? I knew that I should, but I just couldn't find myself thinking about her the same way. I would never love her the same amount, no matter how hard I tried.

Desmia~

"Speak now, or forever hold your peace." I felt myself rise from the pew.

"I object." I say firmly. Serena glares at me from her spot beside Andrew. He smiles lightly at me though and I beam back. I can feel everyone's eyes on me. But I'm only focused on you."Please, don't say yes. Come with me. We can run together. The only place I ever want to be is with you. Tell me that you feel the same or I won't live to see another sunrise or sunset. The only life I want is one with you."

"I don't love you, Desmia. How could you think so foolishly? I love Serena. She is the only girl that I will ever see and want. I used to think I loved you. But when I kissed Serena, I knew that all there would ever be for me was her. I hope you understand." he says with a sad smile on his face. The only thing I can feel is anguish. An evil laugh comes from Serena and everything turns dark. She grins evilly back at me as her and Andrew walk happily out of the church together. Laughing and smiling and very much in love. I feel the tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Desmia, are you okay?" I hear from outside my door. My eyes flutter open and I realize that it was just a dream. But they had gotten married. I hadn't spoken up. I had let everything happen. The way that it was supposed to.

"I'm fine. Go away. I want to be alone." I say hoarsely from all of the crying. I hear retreating footsteps and sigh. I had that feeling where I just didn't want to talk to anyone and I didn't want to fake being happy. But at the same time I didn't quite know what was exactly wrong either. There was no way to explain it to someone who didn't already understand. If I could have anything in the world it would be to be alone right now. People have stopped being comforting and being alone never was comforting before. At least when I'm alone no one is constantly asking me what's wrong, and there isn't anyone who won't take I don't know for an answer. I just act the way I do when I'm alone. Because that's exactly what I am. Alone. I couldn't help but hope this irrational feeling will pass on, and that I can move on with my life and be myself again be myself again. But somehow, until the day that it hapens, I can't believe that it will. I stare out my window longingly at the birds. I just wanted to be free and be able to have the things that were beautiful. Just then a shimmery figure showed up beside me. A Shiny. "What do you want?" I mumbled.

"We need you, Princess Desmia! Everything is falling apart!" the Shiny says.

"Why aren't you solid?" I asked as she flickered again.

"Because things are being destroyed! Shiny things." she whispers, her voice fading. "Come soon," she trailed off as she disappeared.

"Wait!" I call and then I make a vow to myself. I will go soon, with or without Andrew. 

Andrew~

As I opened my eyes, the sun shone brightly through the window and the curtains swayed lightly in the breeze. I felt someone's hand on my chest and I felt myself thinking about how it would feel if Desmia were laying with me. I looked down and was slightly disappointed to see Serena instead. But I knew that it was her, there wasn't any way that it could be Desmia. I lowered my head and kissed her forehead as she slept. She stirred slightly but didn't wake. I knew that I could make her happy, it wouldn't be hard. But that was risking my own happiness. Eventually, I would grow to love her. But it wouldn't be the same as the sensation I felt whenever I saw Desmia smile. The bursts of energy that happened whenever we touched. It wouldn't be nearly close to the same. Not now, not ever. But I knew it was the right decision. But how could something be right if... If I wasn't happy myself? How could something be the right decision when it meant that I couldn't be with the one and only girl that I loved with my whole heart? I didn't understand and I knew that my father would tell me that it was the right thing to do.

But I knew Desmia would say that my duty was to my heart, that I couldn't let something as trivial as what others considered right get in the way of what I felt was right. I knew that I had to fix this, but I just didn't know how yet.

A/N: I know it's probably short... I'm sorry. =( I tried to make it longer, ask @lights0323! I hope you absolutely loved it anyway! But I couldn't write anymore because it felt right to stop there, you know that feeling that you get when you just feel like it's the perfect place to end it? Welll, it felt like that ^^ up there was the best place. The song on the right: Speak Now by Taylor Swift. Picture on the right: The older Andrew. =) He's Sean Flynn/ Chase Mathews from Zoey 101. He looks SO much different than he did in that show. Anyway, the dedication for this chapter goes to @youshouldspeaknow13 for being an amazing best friend, for introducing me to Taylor Swift, and because it's her birthday... So yeah. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! [Big hugs] comment&vote&fan! Love, Ash x's&o's
