Leon Kennedy Imagines/Oneshots

20. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

Y/n's POV

I could feel him here with me, the pain knowing he's out there... But he wasn't the one I wanted. He never was, I didn't want to hurt him... So I kept playing along. Besides, whether I liked it or not, the one I loved was in the seats beside the one he loved... Ada Wong. They are still together even though she's put him through so much. 

A small tear falls down my cheek, as I take a deep breathe. 

I remember what he said to me all those years ago, that he'd be there for me. No matter what... Because we were friends. Just friends... Those words broke my heart... 

My father takes my arm in his, smiling softly. 

"I know you don't want him, but maybe you'll learn to love him... We all would rather see you and you know who together... Him instead standing by that altar to give himself to you and yourself to him... But sometimes things don't work out... But when your given the chance... choose your heart..." There's something he isn't telling me... 

"Yes dad." his smile brightens, as we walk through the door and I immediately see Leon... His facial expression seeing me is not what I expected... He looks broken, the way he stands shows his distress and I can see dark circles under his eyes. I try to keep my eyes on (b/n). I take deep breathes knowing Leon is watching me... My heart breaking more and more by each second he gazes upon me... In this wedding dress I suddenly feel scared of being in... 

He's never looked at me for this long, it makes my heart race. Ada puts a hand on his chest, but he moves it. Her expression is hurt, and I don't know why... She storms off and I follow her with my gaze, my father pulls me along... Soon I take (b/n)'s hand. In the corner of my eye, Leon tenses... While the officiant reads from her papers in her binder... Leon takes out a note, large enough to read... Showing it to me I begin to tear up. 

I wish you all the best because I love you, I am in love with you... I should have realized sooner... I want you to be happy. 

I look back to the man I tried to get over Leon with... I never told Leon how I felt... The tears were streaming now, I look at (B/n) he looks at me with worry. 

"I need to go, I'm so sorry." I run down the stairs away from the altar and out the door. This wasn't fair, why now... Why does this have to happen to me. I hear both men running after me. They open the door and I run down the streets, I can't face either of them now... Good thing I chose flats for the wedding. I held the dress up at the front so that I wouldn't trip and fall. Finding my way to the forest, I follow the path that only few followed. Not many... there were only two people who knew this place... Shit I gotta get out of here. 

Leon is the only other person who knows where I would go... But I've got nowhere else, I see the waterfall in the distance... Someone already there. I slowly walk forwards, hoping that person would kill me, so I'd never have to be afraid again. But the hair... Leon beat me to it. 

"You didn't have to run you know... (b/n) sent me to find you." He turns around- his once blond hair has gone to a brown. It suits him well... Everything suited him well.

"Why are you here Leon...?" I can hear the desperation within my voice, I know he can hear it too.

"What I wrote should have told you." he takes a step forward. 

"Why now? Do you realize the problem you've created?" 

"I didn't think anything of it, that's why he told me to find you. He knew you weren't happy-" 

"This isn't about him anymore... Leon why at my wedding would you do this to me?" 

"I wanted to let you know, because I've kept it hidden for a long time... I couldn't tell you afterwards. Because then you'd be his... When I wished you were mine."
