1. It's my fault
She was supposed to be his and he was supposed to be hers or at least that's how all those sappy love stories played out. You know the ones were the lead character finally realizes that he is head over heels in love with the best friend and they ride off into the sun set together.
Well for Rose Leveque that wasn't the case instead she was sitting in the front row of the beautifully decorated church watching the man of her dreams marry the women of his.
As the ceremony went on she could feel every fiber of her being yelling at her to stand up and profess her love to him and to the whole world but she never did instead she sat there frozen with her mouth shut as she rubbed her hands on the top of her thighs.
"I do" Colby said
That brought Rose right back to reality she gave a small smile as she watched the pink hair beauty recite her vowels followed by an "I do"
Rose let a tear slip out but she quickly wiped it away it wasn't that she disliked Sasha she loved her like a sister it was just that Sasha had the one thing Rose wanted Colby Lopez.
"If there is anyone who objects to this union speak now or forever hold your peace" The pastor said
Sasha and Colby looked out into the crowd then back at each other with bright smiles when there were no objections.
"Then by the power invested in me by the state of Florida I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride" He said
Rose swallowed the lump in her throat as they locked lips and everyone cheered and clapped she looked down feeling more broken then ever but she knew it was her fault for never stepping up and telling him how she felt.
After the wedding everyone made their way to the reception area she stood in the door way thinking of taking off in the opposite direction until she felt two hands rub her back without turning around she knew who they belonged too.
"Were sorry Rose" Renee said to her
Rose turned around and looked at two of her best friends as she wiped the tears away and shrugged her shoulders "Don't be" she said to Dean and Renee
They were two of the three people who knew how she felt about Colby or so she thought.
"I should have spoken up years ago and I didn't so its ok" Rose said, "I need to move on and I think I'm going to start by asking if they will move me to smackdown" she told them.
Renee and Dean didn't say anything they just gave her a small smile and followed her inside to their table.
Dean sat next to Rose and wrapped his arms around her shoulder giving her a kiss to the temple "I give you props for coming" he said into her ear
"I'll be back" she said standing up
Rose stood at the buffet looking at the food when she felt two hands cover her eyes "Guess who?" a voice said into her ear she felt her knees buckle but regained her composer.
"The Rock" Rose said with smirk
"Oh very funny Flower" Colby said using the nickname only he could get away with.
"So how does it feel to be a married man?" Rose asked looking at the band on his left hand.
"Great though I can honestly say I never thought that Snoop Dog would be in my wedding" he said with a laugh
"Me either" she said dryly but that didn't go unnoticed by him but he pushed it to the back of his mind.
"Thank you for coming it wouldn't have been the same without you" he said embracing her in a hug
"Of course, Colbs" she said hugging him back
"Baby there you are" Sasha said walking up and linking arms with Colby "Hey Rose" she said
"Hey Sasha" Rose said, "You look stunning" she told her
"Thank you" Sasha said, "Come on babe it's time for our first dance" she said grabbing Colby's hand and pulling him to the dance floor.
Rose felt her heart break more and more as they twirled around the floor she bites her lip before turning to Renee and Dean.
"I'm going to get out of here" she told them
"Want us to come with you?" Dean asked
"No" she said shaking her head "You two stay and have fun and I will talk to you later" she told them before saying goodbye and leaving.
Colby watched as Rose left he was confused why his best friend was leaving in the middle of the most important night of his life.
Rose made it to the parking lot and let out a deep breath before digging in her purse for her keys she found them and started toward her car until she heard someone yell her name she turned around and seen Leati coming to her.
"Hey Joe" she said
"Hey baby girl" he said walking up "Ro you ok?" he asked her
"Yeah, Le" she said, "Just tired and ready to call it a night" she told him
Leati wasn't buying the I'm tired excuse but decided to leave it alone and not say anything "You just rushed out of here so I wanted to check on you" he said
"Thank you Le I appreciate it but I'm good" she said smiling "I'll see you later" she said turning to head towards the car.
"Rose" Leati yelled stopping her "I was just wondering who you were riding with to Atlanta tomorrow?" he said shoving his hands in his pockets.
"I was actually just going to drive by myself" she told him
"Well would you want to ride together?" he asked her "I would love some company" he said
"That's sweet of you Joe but I don't want to be bother" she said
"You won't be and plus I'm asking you" he said to her
Rose stared at him for a minute before clearing her head and her throat "Ok but you drive first and no weird music" she said
"Deal" he said with a huge smile Rose felt a fire in her belly and her knees go weak.
"Ok well I will see you in the morning" Rose told him
"See you in the morning" he said waving goodbye
Once Rose got to the hotel she kicked her heels off and sat on the bed she finally let the tears fall there was nothing like watching the man you love marry another woman to break you in two.
Rose picked up her phone and scrolled through the numbers until she found the name she was looking for she hit call and waited as the line rung.
"Hello" a deep booming voice said into the phone
"Hey" she mumbled out "He's married Paul" she cried out
"I know" Paul said with sadness "I'm sorry" he added shaking his head he hated that she hurt so bad.
"Do you think I could be moved to smackdown" she asked him
"I don't know" he said, "They want to drop the title to you" he added
"I know" she said, "But I just" she tries to say but Paul cut her off
"Listen to me you have to let Colby go and move on Ro its time" he said, "I get that you love him but he is married now it's too late" he said, "You had years to speak up and tell him how you felt and never did" he said, "I'm not trying to be a dick but running isn't going to fix anything" he added.
"Paul" she said
"No Rose don't let your feelings for Colby jeopardize your career" he told her "You just need to remove yourself from situations that involve him and surround yourself with other people" he said, "it's time for you to put yourself out there and focus on your happiness" he said, "You deserve a fresh start and a shot at love" he told her
"Thank you" she said sighing
"I tell you this because I love you Ro I just want you to be happy" Paul told her
"I know I love you too big brother" she said, "I'll see you tomorrow" she said
"Ok goodnight" he said before hanging up
Rose laid her head against the head board and closed her eyes "I hate when he is right" she said to herself
She felt her phone vibrate so she grabbed it and started to look through the notifications and seen a picture of her, Sasha, and Colby she sighed before closing twitter and going to her text messages.

"Hey its Leati" he said
"Oh, hey Le" she said, "What's up" she asked
"I was calling to see if six was good for you?" he said
"Yeah perfect" she said
"Cool I was thinking we can grab breakfast then hit the road" he said
"Sounds good" Rose said
