you're all I know.
[01.]
All were gathered in the small garden at the church, old friends were getting married and I couldn't pass up the invitation or the chance to go back home. I fixed my dress setting my clutch on my lap looking at my phone quickly before I felt a tap on my shoulder, jumping a little I put my hand on my chest as I looked up at Zack who had a smirk on his face, I hit his chest lightly.
"This seat taken?"
"Not at all, go right for it."
Taking a quick picture before the ceremony took place we caught up and shared a laugh and than the music started and we all stood up looking at the bride and I looked over at her groom who was teared up and that's when I noticed Alex and Jack standing up there. I cleared my throat and sat back down crossing my legs, the lump in my throat growing every time our eyes met. I ran my tongue over my lip as I looked down, Zack wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I leaned my head against the crook of his arm. His thumb rubbed over my shoulder as I dabbed the corner of my eyes sniffling my nose a little bit. When they were announced everyone stood up again, the clapping took over the sound of the music and it was than I noticed Zack had moved his hand to the small of my back. We walked into the parking lot to head over to the reception, I gave Zack my keys and he drove us there seeing as he carpooled with Alex and Jack I offered him to ride with me.
Approaching the hotel, there were a lot of familiar faces at the reception including our girl squad whom I haven't seen since graduation but we all still could pick each other out of a crowd. I walked over to the bar to grab a drink when I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder, I turned my head slightly seeing Alex looking into my eyes. I walked away from the bar and out the doors of the ballroom when I felt him grab my wrist, tears were already in my eyes just glancing at him, no words were exchanged and I didn't pull my wrist away from his grip.
"You have to at least say something to me, after almost two years I deserve it.
"I don't owe you anything, you cheated on me Alex and I feel like I suffered more than you did. You tell me I didn't bother to call, text or tweet but did you? You can just blame this on me because you're other woman was the reason I took off, why I left. If anything I deserve an explanation as to why, why this happened to us. Nine years together and it was that easy for you to go off and cheat. Please, explain it to me."
He put his head down before I escaped his grip and walked down the hall towards the bathrooms where I ran into Jack. His hands gripped on my arms as the tears left stains against my cheeks and without saying a thing his arms gripped tightly around my small frame and sat me down on the bench. He lifted my head up and took out of his handkerchief and dotted my cheeks with it and put my hair behind my hair.
"I'll give Zack a ride home, I want you to go back to my place and wait for me. We'll talk about this. I love you, Dani"
"I love you too, Jack."
He pressed a kiss on my forehead and walked back to the reception, I opened the church doors and the rain was pouring hard. I unlocked my car and ran over to it but before I could get the door open I felt the same tough on my hand. I knew it was Alex and I looked up at him and he swallowed hard before he wrapped an arm around me and pushed his lips into mine, my hands rested on his face before I got in my car and ran my hand through my hair and immediately started heading towards my brothers.
After showering and changing into some fresh clothes I plopped down on the couch and heard my phone go off a few times, Alex texted me and I didn't reply because I was too busy thinking about that kiss, thinking about finding out about the other woman and thinking about how much I loved him. My hands shook as I took the phone in my hand and read the messages, my heart dropping as I threw my phone and started crying, screaming and gripping my hands in my hair. I was feeling so many emotions at once that I didn't know which one was real and which were just me overthinking. I got up and walked into the kitchen, grabbed a wine glass and pouring some of the white wine in the fridge. I sat on the floor against the fridge, my hands were still shaking but I could hear the sound of Jacks voice, he was talking to Alex and I knew he had to have been talking about me.
"Danielle?"
I swallowed hard and finished up the wine in the glass pouring the rest of the bottle downing it. Getting the strength I got up and set both things on the counter and walked into the living room. Jack looked over at me and looked at the mess on his floor, Alex began walking towards me and reading those texts made me wanna slap him, scream at him, kiss him and curl myself into his arms.
"I'm sorry about the mess, Jack I'll clean it up later."
"No, don't worry about it I got it."
The moment Alex put his hand on me I looked at him and ran my hand down his arm stopping at his hand lacing our hands together I looked up at him and reached up pecking a quick kiss on his cheek before I departed up the stairs and looked down the railing.
"Goodnight Alex."
"Goodnight, Danielle"
