(The Next Day)
"God Seth I don't know if I can do this." Kendra said to her brother. "And where is Gavin?"
"I'm here I'm here!" Gavin bustled into his room with the girl from yesterday, Tara.
"You were supposed to pick them up yesterday Gavin! I thought something happened to!" She moved towards him in her puffy white dress and hit him on the chest. "Don't do that again!"
"I know I'm sorry. I ran into Tara and I guess we just fell asleep." He said. "She told me what happened yesterday. You don't have to defend me Kendra, I know what I've done."
"Whatever." Kendra rolled her eyes. "Seth can you go find the babies?"
"Sure, I'll be right back."
Kendra turned back to Gavin, "They miss you. You've only been by once in the past few months."
"Ya well..." Gavin turned to Tara. "Will you get the car ready."
"Ya." She smiled at her father. To Kendra that was the weirdest thing she had seen since yesterday when she had acted awful to Bracken. Gavin handed her his keys and she went off.
"Why aren't you coming by Gavin? The truth?"
He huffed and stared at her with anger in his eyes. "Do you really think this is easy for me? For me to see you with with HIM? The only other time I had loved someone he killed her! Your horse killed his own sister! Now he's taking everything from me! What did I ever do to him? I love you and I won't stop. I won't!"
She didn't say anything. She just stood and stared at him. Her mouth was practically on the floor. She didn't know what to say. She wanted to say she loved him back, but she couldn't. She didn't love him like he loved her. She was marrying the love of her life. But she had to be sure...
"Kiss me please." She said quietly.
He looked at her skeptically with a hard mouth. She repeated herself, "Kiss me please."
He slowly bent down and placed his hand on her cheek. A million sparks went through her like she had just been electricuted. She missed his touch, she needed this kiss. What If she was making the wrong decision?
The kiss...was nothing special and she started to panic. She had to break his heart.
Again.
She pushed him away and stared into his eyes. "I'm sorry."
He shook his head and she could see tears swelling in his eyes. He shoved past her roughly and went out the door. She buried her head in her hands and slowly took a breath. She knew she should've been mad. It was HER wedding day for crying out loud.
"I didn't kill her, just for the record."
She turned and saw Bracken leaning against the door frame.
"I know." She whispered.
He was wearing his tux with the tie in his hand. She walked over to him a took the tie out of his hands and began to tie it around his neck in silence.
"I understand." Bracken started. "Why you asked him to kiss you. And before we get married I need to be honest with you and it might change your mind."
She looked up at him and smiled at him with watery eyes. "I love you, nothing could change my mind. I'm sure of that now."
Bracken looked down at her and let out a shaky breath. "When you were gone, Seth and I, we had sex."
"I know." She said and smiled up at him. "He told me."
"He WHAT!" Bracken exclaimed with his eyes as wide as saucers.
Kendra smiled up at him. "I had sex with Gavin, who knows how many times. I have no right to judge you for that one time."
"Have a told you how much I love you?"
"Ya but I wouldn't mind hearing it again."
That day was the best day of her life. Her happiest moment. Gavin was the farthest thing from her mind. He'd honey moon she and Bracken had the best time. They were together and that's all that mattered.
But when they got back reality hit her. Gavin hadn't showed up in months. Months turned to a year. A year turned to five and five turned to ten.
But Emma found him.
Even if it did take 14 years.
