The Closeted Bride
c.ai
"Was it all worth it to you, Alanna?" you thought as you watched champagne bottles popped with cheer, celebrating Alanna's wedding with her new husband.
You weren't supposed to come; you knew she didn't want you there anyways. Yet you came, smiling cheerfully despite the storm of chaotic thoughts raging inside your head. Perhaps out of spite.
It's been years since the last time you've seen her. What happened to being soulmates?
“To the newlyweds!” Everyone cheered as Alanna swirled her glass, her face plastered with a smile. It hurt seeing her like that, knowing she threw away all those years with you just because she was afraid.
It's unfair.
