It was my turn to walk down the aisle. The band started playing the very common wedding march. I wrapped my arm around my mom's arm, and gripped my flowers, as we started walking. My heart pounded in my chest as I felt everyone's eyes on me. I stared forward and saw Joseph standing there in his tux, with a smile. My mom handed me off to Roman and we held hands as the pastor was about to begin. "We are gathered here today, to bond Stephanie Nicole Garcia Colace and Joseph Leati Anoa'i in holy matrimony.. If someone has a reason why these two should not wed, object now or forever hold your peace." "Stop everything!" Joseph's booming voice was loud and angry. I squeezed his hand. "Hey Ro, is everything okay?" He shook his head and grabbed both my hands. "Nicole, I-I can't marry you." "W-Why are you doing this? Roman, what's wrong?" "J-Just hear me out please.. Nicole I can't marry you, because... I can't marry someone I don't love." I gasped and tears flowed out of her eyes. He dropped his eyes to the floor, I let go of his hand and walked right back down the aisle and returned to my room and locked the door behind me. Why would he do this to me? I loved him, but he doesn't love me? Tears were spilling out of my eyes, why would he agree to marry me if he didn't love me? There was a knock on the door, I walked to it and leaned against it. "Hey Nikki, its Brie and mom." "Please just leave me be for a few minutes.. Please?" I heard their footsteps walk away. I slid down the door and let tears flow out of my eyes. I actually thought I would finally be happy, but that was all a pathetic little dream.. I don't deserve to be happy and that's just what I have to deal with. I wiped my tears away, no more crying. I got up and walked towards the vanity, I started opening drawers. Then I found them, scissors. I cut my wedding dress, I cut off the length, making it shorter and when I was done I threw the scissors into the mirror, causing it to shatter. I packed up all my things and walked out of the room. My mom and Brie ran up to me. "Nicole are you-" I cut them off "Hey guys, I'm-" I stopped mid-sentence when I saw Roman walking towards me. "Nicole I'm sorry." I nodded "Yea? Well so am I.. Let's go guys." I walked passed Roman but he grabbed my arm "I'm sorry.. I never meant to hurt you." "Don't worry about Roman, I'm used to it by now.. Everyone's done it to me, it was just a matter of time before you joined the list too." I snatched my arm from his grasp and walked away, trying to ease the lump in my throat.
