why me? /Marcus Dobre

THE AISLE

~2025~

I'm sat down in the black studio chair infront of the vanity, my mom holding my hand.

Mom: I'm so proud of you sweetie. You've come so far injfein your life.

D: I couldn't have done it without you mom.

I look at the my face that had been transformed using the simple yet bold makeup that the makeup artist did on me. I smile at my reflection
Mom: time to get dressed up honey!
I smile at her and nod. We head to where my dress is neatly hung up in its specialized bag. Unzipping it I see the gorgeous white material and the stunning beadwork.

I feel the tears form but I try hold them jn so they don't ruin my make up.

My mom helps me get zipped in. I run my hands down my dress and stop at my stomach. 4 months, this little on rhas been in me for 4 months now.

The hairstyles did my hair into its curls and put my veil on with my diamond tiara.

Mom: I still can't believe once you slip those shoes on your gonna be walking  down the aisle. I nod and put the glittered heels on just as Maya comes bursting through the door.
Maya: GIRL YOU'RE GORGEOUS FUCK!
D: thanks girlie!
Maya:I still can't believe you're gonna be a Mrs in a few minutes oh my gosh
D:yea even me, well let's get this show in the road!
Maya: Obviously
She takes my hand and walks me to the beginning of the carpet where I was still hidden from the audience. I take my dad's hand.
Dad: j can't believe my baby is all grown up, you know I still rember the your first words your first steps and all your mistakes baby. Promise me yoi won't forget your mom and I?
D: how on earth could I? You guys are the one who got me on my two feet.
He kissed the top of my head.
"Can everybody please rise as the bride enters"
We start walking and I see him, my soul mate, my baby boy, with tears in his eyes. The here's comes the bride song playinf behind me, people clapping and whistling. We reach the stage and greet each other with a hug and tears.
~SKIP TO VOWS CAUSE IDK HOW THEY GO LMFAO~

Your vows for your soon to be wife?
He steps forward.

Dayna, my gorgeous soon to be wife. Today, I promise to be your navigator and sidekick in all of life's adventures. I promise to be your best friend and your husband. I promise you myself completely.
Your love gives me hope. Your smile gives me joy. You make me a better man.
When I am with you everything else fades to the background. You flood my senses with joy. You are my life, my greatest gift. I'm so lucky to call you my loving wife.
My life is forever entangled with yours from this day on. My dreams are your dreams, and I'll build it all around you.
Forever with you simply will not be enough, but from this day forward, I vow to make the most of every moment.

He steps back and I go forward with my vows.

CaN we have the rings?

We see our boxes walking toward us and take the rings in my hand as Marcus slips his diambkng ring on my finger and I slip his golden one on.

"You may now kiss the bride"

He pulls me in for a kiss. A million butterflies burst in my stomach and fireworks go off

The pastor turns to the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to You, MR AND MRS SEAVEY!"

We turn to them as most if them have tears in their eyes and anew whistling. We walk back down the aisle, toward the foyer.

Daniel : I love you so fucking much Dayna
Dayna: I love you too dani

We arrive at the foyer where everybody comes filing out and congratulating us. I see Marcus' mom come up to us. She hugs me for awhile before pulling away with tears in her eyes.
Marcus mom: Oh Dayna. Marcus will be so happy for you, that you're not dwelling in him anf that you've moved into someone who loves you. Two years later. Baby number two is in the way and you guys are doing so well. I'm sure he's watching all this from above and praising your every step and how gorgeous you look today. He's guarding you and your husband with your children. You know when he left that day, he was so excited to come home and see you,be really wanted to walk home to his pregnant wife and give her the most affection, he wanted to be able to spoil you and treat you like a queen. He loved you so much. That night was supposed to be extra special. He walked out of this house with an engagement ring in his pocket he was supposed to come home to you and surprise you wutb everyone and he had a whole setup on the beach. He was going to propose to you .. I'm so sorry thatt one drunk driver took away the future you two held and the life of and innocent boy, the father of your daughter. I promise and I tell you that he'll always watch over you all and protect you. And to him I'm sure he always have a soft spot for you.

Tears have completely covered my face
D: oh aurelia! I'm so sorry. I'm thankful you told me this tonight. It takes alot to open up, especially after losing your son. In so sorry. But yes he's in a better place and is watching over all of us. I didn't know he was going to propose to me. Wait H-his M-memorial sight?
Aurelia nods
A: yes, yes that was where he set everything up to propose to you. We decided to remember him there cuade you made him so happy and he was so excited to come and make you his wife. I-I wish he was still here

St this point we were both sobbing.

D: I do too

××××××Start song now ××××××

We arrived home and Daniel went in too shower and soon after I also did.

He was gonna propose to you. The words kept replaying in my head. If that drunk driver had been sober, none of this would have happened, Marissa would have her biological father and we would have still been together. Yes I love Daniel, but I can't help think of the future we would have had if he survived.

I told Daniel I was gonna get some water and quickly walked down into the guest room and opened the drawer that held the large pink box
Removing the lid I immediately smell the familiar scent. Taking one small peek I see the hoodies, cards and notes, all the gifts Marcus gave me.. I pick up the golden necklace that I used to wear everyday. Engraved were the letters, M.D. i hold it between my fingers, rubbing against the cool metal. I unclasped it to a small note, remember this, I'll love you forever, till my last breath, tears running down my cheek I take the paper out to see the picture, Marcus and I hugging whilst laughing. That was the day he said that he'll love me till his last breath, he didn't know it was going to be a week later. He said he'd go  to every length to make sure I was safe and protected and that nobody even laid a finger in me. The day he said he love me and he'll never let me go and if I ever had to die, he'd die with me, go to every extent to see me again. The day he said he'd make me his wife one day. The day he told me that one day I won't be the only girl he'll love unconditionally, he'll love another girl and she'll call me mommy and he'll give us the best even if it meant him working day and night for it, as long as we were Happy.
He never lived, he never lived long enough to see that day, the day that a little girl would run into his arms everyday after work and hug him and call him dad. He never did. The saddest part? He said that was the only thing he wanted to experience in life. He wanted to have all that with me every step of the way. But he never got it. His wish wasn't fulfilled
The day he told me we were gonna grow old together. And we would be happy for the rest of our life.

Oh bubs, I'm so so sorry.

The end xx
