The Jock

Wedding

We arrived at the wedding completely on time to watch the bride go down the aisle. The venue was beautiful, it was a park with bright green trees a few trees being Sakura trees. The flowers white, pink, red, a whole variety. The aisle was a white. The seats nicely placed in columns surrounding the aisle. The wedding arch was wood but very light color, it was decorated with roses. Charlie's Hand was placed on my thigh calming me a bit. I had a white flower crown as a nice decoration. Now Zendaya she had a nice layered white dress, her hair curled, two strands of hair braided and connected at the back. A nice white small crown on her, with a vail. Her dress flowed, with little flower decorations. The theme was definitely flowers. Her make up completely natural only her red lipstick was bold. Tom on the other hand had his hair slicked back, black suit, nothing much on his hand.
It was that time in the wedding for the vows, it was beautiful although each time Tom hesitated to speak, as if he knew it was wrong to marry the most likely woman of his dreams. Each time Charlie tensed up, worried something would happen. Now they were actually marrying each other, making it official. The preacher asking "Will you take Zendaya Coleman to be your beloved wife?" And with that he hesitated once again, Charlie sitting up straight giving Tom a death stare, and Tom got it.
"Yes, I'll take her to be my wife." He responded with a shaky voice. Was he actually scared of Charlie. I mean Charlie would never hurt someone. Zendaya response the same thing without hesitation and in a proud voice. The party started and Charlie took my hand and started dancing with me. I felt like 2 pair of eyes on me the whole time. Course I knew Charlie was eyeing me making me feel great causing me to blush. Though I didn't know the other eyes were. Charlie placed a kiss on my cheek and lips.
"Do you think we can end up like this?" I ask Charlie.
"Of course but even better, anything to complete your dream"
I place a kiss on his cheek, soon I feel an arm on my shoulder, I look to see Tom.
"Can we dance?" Tom asked I look at Charlie's tensed body form, he lets me go. Although I didn't really want to go. He starts dancing with me. "I'm sorry"
"No need, I mean look you're clearly happily married. I mean look if Zendaya is happy you should keep it like that, plus it was high school what did that mean to you right?" I say pulling away, sitting next to Charlie. He put an arm around me. My head falling onto his shoulder.
   "Are you okay?"
   "Yeah"
   "Just tell me when you're uncomfortable, that way I'll know when to leave." I nod, the wedding passes by quickly. No problems, Charlie and I were heading back to the car. He opens the door for me like a gentleman. I sit down, he comes over to the drivers seat. Then he drives off back to the house. I was on my phone when I got a text. I open it 'just a high school relationship, must've hurt his feelings right. Course not you only think about yourself. Damn I can't wait till you're gone.. out of this world'. I start panicking, Charlie noticing in a second. tears streaming down my face. Why? Who? Clearly not Tom.. someone must've been listening. My heart beats faster, Charlie pulls over to the side. He gets out the car and runs over to my side. He puts his hand on one of my wrists, checking that my pulse had increased. He looks at me, not knowing what to do. Charlie somehow manages to hug me, rubbing my back. He places a kiss on my cheek.
   "Cmon it'll be alright, no need, I'm here, don't worry. I'm not leaving your side" He spoke. God those words 'I'm not leaving your side' such lies, everyone always leaves. There's no, I'm never leaving, everyone does. It's just a lie, a trick, people fall for it until they are heartbroken. Tom, Charlie, my parents all saying that.. everyone of them has left me, in the darkness. Not Charlie, but I can't trust his words. My parents didn't mean to leave my side but the did, Tom heart broke me on the day of my graduation. Is there anyone who else could do that? Haz, Charlotte.
   "Yes you are, just like every one else. Everyone important in my life"
   "No, god Ellie you are important to me, don't fucking think that. If you knew how much you mean to me I would never do that on purpose."
   "Maybe not on purpose, Charlie you need to stay away from me, everyone does. I can't be hurt, you can't be hurt, no one should be hurt." I say rushing to unbuckle my seat belt, he stops me, placing his hands on mine.
   "Just stop, please. No one will hurt you, not on my watch." He grabs my hand re buckling my belt and closing the door. I sit there not revolting. Charlie turns back into the intersection and as our time comes. A car comes in speeding
