“Are you ready Theresa”

Tom look at me with smile on his face, he feel honored when I ask him to walk me down the aisle. Tom is james father, my own father die along with my mother in a tragic car accidents five years ago. I didn’t cry in front of everyone when I watched their coffin buried, i shut people out for a week. I ignore their call and didn’t replied their message, I just need sometime to think and accept that my parents are death. But after a week james come into my house and force me to go outside, he bring me to my parents grave and told me that he know my parents didn’t want to see me like this. That’s when I cry my heart out and I’ve been holding my tears for a week. Then james take me home so I can take a bath and eat something, that’s when I realise that james is the one.

“What if I am fall, I am so nervous Tom”

“Don’t worry about that, I wont let you fall. That’s why I am here, I know  Antonio is watching us and will walk you down the aisle with me even he isn’t here anymore I know he really love you”

“I know mom and dad is watching us right now”

“Let’s go, I can hear James is starting to worry you will leave him standing alone at the aisle”

Tom offer his hand so I can slip my hand, I grip his elbow and hold my bouquet tighter. I can hear the music is start playing when tom and I start walking down the aisle I watch through my veil and see the man that captured my heart since we were fifteen, he is kind and gentle, he can make my day brighter and always make me happy, people always told us that we were meant to be, and I am glad I have him. I see his eyes is mirrored mine, they’re sparking with happiness. Every step I take lead me closer to him, to my future. When we reach the end he stand in front of tom and I

“Please make her happy son”

“I promise dad, I’ll”

He take my hand from tom hand and lead us to the priest “You look stunning you know that, I cant wait until this over and you’ll be Mrs. Walton baby”

James whisper in my ear so the priest cant hear what he said, I just said ‘me too’ because the priest is start talking

“If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold you peace”

His eyes start looking at the crowd because maybe someone will object but they just waiting patiently to him continue the speech “I object”

I hear gasp from the crowd, I snap my head to look at my right because that was gina voice “What”

“What the fuck gina don’t ruin my wedding”

I hear james start shouting at gina, but she just keep calm and look at me in the eyes

“Theresa darling, I’m pregnant. And its your groom’s child”

Once again I hear people start gasp even tom start shouting something and natalia is start crying but I cant hear them my mind is too  focused on gina “You’re lying gina, why are you doing this”

“The hell I’m lying, I’m not lying and he know it too. We’ve been cheating behind your back sweety, you just didn’t realise it because you’re to stupid. Uhh you know what, the best sex I have with him is when we’re doing it beside you when you’re asleep”

We’ve been cheating behind your back, we’ve been cheating behind your back. That word keep repeating on my mind but cant accept it like the word is a toxic. Breathing become harder than I usually do, my heart is start beating faster than I ever imagine, my vision is start becoming blur but I didn’t cry, I feel someone hands cup my face and it was james, i look him in the eyes “How could you do this to me james”

“I’m sorry baby please I regret it, we can still married and raise the baby together”

“I wont allow it james! After all this time you said that you will dump her and be with me and I need you to dump her right now or I am gonna drag her out from here myself”

Gina’s words is like pushing the knife in my chest even deeper

“You’ll dump me just to be with her”

I said it in whisper tone but james still hear it, and he is on his knee just like three months ago when he ask me to marry him “Please Theresa forgive me, I know I’m wrong and didn’t deserve you but please give us a try again”

I ignore him and face the priest “Father please continue this wedding, …. “

Gina cut me before I finish what I’m about to say

“Are you stupid than I tought or what, oh I know you selfish bitch you still want him don’t you,pathetic”

But I just ignore her “But I’m not the one who will be the bride”

I take off my veil and put it on gina’s head then I hand her the bouquet

“Please father, continue this wedding. If you’ll excuse me”

I give him a smile then start walking down the aisle -again- but right now not with anyone, and absolutely not becoming Mrs. Walton. I heard my name is being called by emma and james, I know emma keep silent because she believe that I can handle it and I love her for that but before I walk any further I hear someone hand contact with someone cheeck

“Serve you right bitch, you both rot in hell and please tell hades I said hi, you both deserve each other”

Emma just slap gina, well that’s not a surprise. But I didn’t bother to stop and look their face, I keep walking but held my head high. When emma and I reach the parking lot, emma give the guy her car key and we waited in silent. Spring breeze hit my nostril with different kind of smell, my mind still processing everything and its not easy. I feel emma  drag my body to inside the car, I can feel the car is start moving too but my mind is still processing what just happen back there

“What are you going to do now tes”

“Move from here em, but I’m going alone”

“No way, we stick together okay, just say the word and I will turn this car and make the baby inside gina is the one and only his child”

“I’m fine, can you drive me to james house I need to pack my things”

“okay”
