Behind The Screen

Chapter 15

Two years later

I can't believe I'm about to get married. I don't know if I really want to though, I feel like I have to to pay Bryan back. Yes I'm getting married to Bryan, I don't love him though. I stopped loving him after the break up. I just feel like I have to cause he was there for me after Malik died and when I lost my baby. He listened to me cry and y'all about Malik for hours a day. I gotta pay him back.

As I looked in the mirror Katrina made sure I looked good. "Perfect.", she said. "You ready?", she asked.

"If it was Malik I would be.", I said. "I'm not gone be sad today I'm supposed to be happy but shit just don't feel right.", I said.

"What you mean?"

"I'm supposed to be marrying Malik not Bryan."

"I feel you. You can always call it off.", she said.

"I know, I think I'll go through with it though.", I said. "I might as well.", I said. Before she could say something Bree came in.

"You ready?", she asked. Katrina looked at me.

"Yeah.", I said. Katrina hugged me then they left out. I looked at the necklace Malik got me and smiled. I haven't taken it off since he put it on. "Girl what are you doing? You don't love this man, you don't wanna be with this man, but you're marrying him. Why?", I asked myself. "I don't know. It's always divorce.", I said shrugging my shoulders.

...

He's reading the vows now. "Speak now or forever hold your piece.", he said. I looked around then back a Bryan. Once he was about to say something somebody busted into the ceremony.

"I object!", I heard Malik's cousin yell. I looked at him confused. What's going on? Malik's family and friends walked in. "You smart, but we always a step ahead Bryan.", he said. I looked at Bryan confused. Bryan just looked at them. "Y'all shot my cousin 20 fucking times!", he yelled. People gasped and I looked at Bryan shocked.

"You did what?", I asked. He looked at me.

"I did it for us.", Bryan said.

"Nigga fuck us! I don't love you Bryan! I stopped loving you when we first broke up! Why you think I haven't fucked you?! Why you think I haven't said that I loved you?! How could you do this?!"

"Because I wanted you back Shyane! I wanted us back! There's no one like you Shyane, nobody ever loved me as much as you loved me! I wanted that back, I needed that back!"

"So you're gonna kill the man I'm in love with cause you fucked up?", I asked.

"Ain't nobody dead baby.", I heard Malik say. I looked and saw him walking in. "His shooters ain't real shooters best believe that. Hey baby.", Malik said smiling at me. I kicked off my heels, held up my dress, and ran to him. He picked me up and kissed me. I kept touching his face cause it don't feel real. I thought he was dead.

"It's really you.", I said.

"It's me baby, let's get out of here." We held hands and walked out. We got in is car and he looked at me. "Still got that necklace on huh?"

"I never took it off." We sped off.
