~14th of November~
-Jerome's POV-
Eye cleared her voice, lightly tapping her knife against her wine glass as she stood up out of her chair.
"Um, I would like to make a toast." She said nervously. I looked at Mitch confused, we decided that no one would make a toast. We both shrugged and raised our glasses along with everyone else as we all waited for her to continue speaking.
"I-." She started but cut herself off, she took a large deep breath in to try and calm herself down. "I know that no one is supposed to be making a toast today but I just wanted to say a few things. There is someone that would've loved being here toady but unfortunately he couldn't." She took another breath in and rested her hand on Rob's shoulder lightly squeezing it, he rested his hand on hers as a tear or two slid down his face.
"He was shot around this time last year. I know that he would've loved to see you two finally get married." She said smiling at me and Mitch. "He always loved you two together. I know both of you will go so far in life." She glanced around the table and nodded at everyone.
"WE ALL WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK!!" They all shouted at us making both me and Mitch jump a little at the volume of their voices.
We all laughed and clinked our glasses together as Eye sat back down in her seat and the roon exploded with talking.
~~~~~Time skip~~~~~
-Rob's POV-
"He would've loved this." I whispered out as I watched everyone dancing around, happy, something I was not.
"Rob, are you alright?" Mitch said coming over and sitting down on the seat next to me. I just nodded in response as a tear silently slid down my face.
"A-are you sure?" He asked again, resting his hand on my shoulder in a form of comfort.
"Yep." I replied quickly wiping the few stray tears away. "You should go back to your husband. Don't worry about me." I told him as he stood up.
"If your sure you're alright." He grinned before walking off.
Honestly I wasn't alright. A year ago I was planning this with all my friends and the love of my life. Now I'm sitting here without him.
"Rob?" I turned around to see a man I've never seen before standing next to me smiling.
"Uh, hi?" I replied as I forced my lips make a fake smile.
"No, no, it's ok, you don't have to pretend to be happy." He said sitting down.
"Oh." Was all I replied with. I let my lips fall back into the sad frown they were mere seconds ago. I leant forward a little, making my elbows dig into my knees. I rubbed my hands on my face as I tried to pull myself back into reality.
"I've, uh, I actually know what you're going through." He said letting one of his hands rest on my shoulder, to which I quickly swatted away.
"You have NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH!!" I spat at him standing up out of my chair. I glared at him as he sat there a little shooked.
"Ok, I-I was just trying to be friendly." He said looking down to his palms and picking at them like Preston used to do when he was nervous. My face softened a little as I kept staring at the guys palms.
"I'm s-sorry." I crocked out as I turned to walk away.
"Wait....." He said, I turned back to face him and looked at him waiting for him to continue. "What was his name?" He asked sheepishly. I smiled at him as I sat back down and began to tell the whole story from the beginning.
Well...... Thoughts?
