       I'm on my way to the church for my wedding.... mine, I'm getting married to the love of my life, Romeo. I can't  believe it, it's just too overwhelming but I guess I deserve this. After the past i had, my sister, Ayla missing and then getting kidnapped, but I had..... faith in him. The car pulls up and we get down and walk towards the door. Papa, Romano, turns to me and says.

  "You ready honey?". He smiles.

    "Yes". I sigh. "Yes I am". I put my arm around his and the doors open, the music's starts playing and we begin to walk down the isle.

     I kept my eyes on my soon to be husband Romeo. This wedding, my wedding would have been more perfect if my sister was here, tears were threatening to fall but I wasn't ready to shed any, I cleaned it with my finger. This is suppose to be a happy moment for me, I shouldn't be thinking about her right now, at least not today.

    We reached the end of the isle and i smile at Romeo, dad gave me a kiss on my cheek and Romeo a pat on his shoulder, handed me to him then left.

   "You look beautiful, my love". Romeo says and i blush.

    "You don't look too bad yourself". I say back, then smile when he chuckles.

   "In a few minutes, we are going to be together for the rest of our lives, forever". He says.

   "Indeed and i stand by it". He helped me with my dress and i think of what he said forever as the Pastor begins to recite the vows as asked.

      "Does anyone  here not wish for this wedding to take place?". The pastor asked and nobody spoke, I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

   "Very well" he paused and looked at Romeo "Do you Romeo Lourdes take Juliet Cassova as your beloved wedded wife?".

   "I do". He answered, I smile, it was my turn now, my smile turned into a grin as the Pastor began

     "Do you-". I heard a woman scream - in pain, I turn back in confusion. A woman was on the floor and she was shot, I looked back at Romeo who looked at me with widened eyes. He pushed me back and i fell on the floor, when the shock left me, I looked up to see Romeo falling too but he was caught by his partner, Xavier, before he had an impact with the floor.

   I stood up to check on him, I winced in pain, my right foot hurts, I drag myself to him, he was kept on the floor,that's not important, he had been SHOT, on my wedding day. I knelt on the floor beside him. Ouch, I forgot about my leg, I adjusted myself and held his hand, my god he was drifting away.

    "Romeo". He fluttered his eyes open when i called him. I sigh in relief, he was okay. I realised Xavier, Romeo's partner was standing here with me.

  " Xavier, what's going on?, where's Tristan?". Tristan was Romeo's doctor friend, he's supposed to be here helping Romeo. Xavier didn't say anything, he simply walked away barking orders on his phone. I couldn't stand it any longer, I had to do something. I had someone grunt and fall to the ground, Xavier ran over there to check the person, he turned the man around and I saw Tristan groaning in pain, he had just been shot, this day couldn't get any worse, I was expecting him to come and check on Romeo since he is a doctor. I held Romeo's hand tightly, I was crying now, not for Ayla but Romeo, oh my love,
