Olivia's POV

 I could feel his arms around me, bringing me into a hug. I shook my head. "What are you doing, Joshua? You're supposed to be getting married." I cried harder. I felt him place his hand on my back and kiss my head. "Yeah, and you're supposed to be there in there, but obviously something is wrong. Is it still because of that boy?" I looked at him. "Yes it's that boy and that boy is you. I promised to keep my mouth shut but I can't. I am breaking inside. I have been in love with you since we were 14. Crazy, right? I should have said something. I should have and I didn't and I know it's too late; and me spilling my heart out is ruining your day. I just can't keep it inside any longer. I love your smile. I love your hugs. I love how you always know what to say. I love spending time with you. I love laughing with you. Joshua, I love you. I'm sorry but I can't watch you marry that girl. She doesn't even like me." I stood up with more tears falling as I turned to walk away.  I felt him grab my wrist turning me back around. "You should've told me before, I used to love you too you know." He sighed and looked up at me. "I don't wanna marry her knowing this is how you're feeling towards me." I looked at him. "Yes you can. There's a difference between loving someone in the present and loving someone in the past. You just said that you used to love me. But now you've met someone else that you love right now. You can't just throw that away. So go. Go marry her if she makes you happy. Marry her if that's who you want to spend the rest of your life with. Cause I want you to be happy and if that means liking her, because that's who makes you happy, then I will."  I heard him start to say something else, so I sat back down on the step, beside him. "You were my first love, nobody forgets their first love nor do they stop loving that person completely and it's the same in my case. Yes I love Jayka but she also cheated on me during her bachelorette party and I can't just forgive her." he sighed and hugged me again. I grabbed onto him a little tighter than I should have. I didn't want him to slip away. I cried onto his shirt, "I'm so sorry."  He continued to hold onto me as well and sighed. "it's okay, I'm okay." He then pulled back so he was facing me.  "But hey, look at me." I could feel him lift my chin, so my eyes could meet his. "I'm not crying so I want you to stop crying too. You're too beautiful to be crying." I giggled softly and wiped my eyes. "So what now?" He chuckled. "Now, we go get something to eat and we talk." I smiled. "But what about us?" He leaned down and kissed her softly. "We take things slow, okay?" I smile and intertwine our fingers. "More than okay." He smiled and called an Uber to pick us up.
