Sweet Silver Lining (Part 6)

"I'm still marrying Josh because...he has imposed upon me all of the happiness in his life. And if I don't marry him, he will commit suicide. He's a friend of mine, Dad. I've known him for 10 years. I'm not about to let him die because of something I can prevent. But, I've got a plan to get him out of his depression and hopefully, fall out of love with me." He looked at me sternly and shook his head.

"I can't believe he would do that to you. It's completely unfair of him to do that to you. But...if I'm not stepping on your toes, I don't think that your plan is going to work. Because I've seen the way he looks at you and...he looks like he's unconditionally in love with you. You have your work cut out for you, kiddo." I groaned and laid back on the sofa. All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. "Yeah?" Dad called out for me. Bella peered into the room.

"Amber, Mr. Black. It's time to start." We both nodded and then we both got up. He hugged me and whispered,

"Everything will be alright, kiddo. I promise." I nodded and then we let go. He fixed my veil and we made our way towards the door and everyone was lined up: my mother with Jason, Sara with Josh's good friend, Justin, Bella with his best friend Mike, Marie with a cousin of Josh's, and then it was me and Dad. The music started and my mother started walking out with Jason. We were kinda hidden behind a wall, but I could just tell that Josh was smirking like an asshole to himself. A single tear ran down my cheek and then, all of a sudden, Marie and Stevie were just about to make their way down the aisle. I grabbed onto Dad and looked at him. "You ready?" He whispered. I shook my head.

"Never." The doors opened and I panicked. But I had to walk down. I walked around the corner and everyone was standing, looking in our direction. And there, at the end of the aisle, was the kid that I don't love, that I don't wanna spend the rest of my life with and that I don't even like anymore. I faked a smile, though as we made our way down, I looked around and...I couldn't find Joe. This made me more upset than I already was. He was so mad and sad that I was doing this, he doesn't even show. But then...as I got closer, I got a glimpse of those gorgeous chocolate eyes, those flawless locks of dark brown hair and the face of an angel looking at me with a non-happy expression. I looked away from him as we reached the end of the aisle. We stopped and I faced my father. He lifted my veil up and I saw a tear fall down his cheek. He gave me a kiss and whispered,

"I love you, Amber Black." I smiled at Dad and whispered,

"I love you too, Dad." And I turned to face Josh as he looked at me before he escorted me up towards the priest.

Ok. Let me take a minute to pause what's going on to describe Josh a little bit more for you. Josh Coleman is a 25 year old guy with pale skin, blonde curly hair that was too long, which was attempting to be tame at that moment, but it was failing miserably and these dark eyes that were scary to look at. I felt alone every time I did...or have to. He a bit taller than me and has a kinda nasally voice. He is also a class a computer nerd, but got his degree in electrical engineering and his main hobby during college was creeping on me. Not. Even. Kidding. His tux didn't fit him right and he looked very poorly put together. That was the ONE job he had for this wedding. And he screwed it up. All of the groomsmen looked bad too.

Anyways, back to the present. He walked me up to the priest and we faced each other and his body odor was worse than normal. I bet he was trying to cover it all up with some kind of horrible cheap cologne.

"You look...absolutely beautiful, love bucket." And he winked as his eyes traveled down to my chest.

"We are gathered here, in the sight of God..." the priest started and Josh looked at the priest. I took this opportunity to get a look at Joe again and...he wasn't even looking at us. His face was buried in his hands, shaking his head as he was being consoled by Charlie and Cassidy. A single tear rolled down my cheek as I looked at the priest as he continued the ceremony.
