The music started as it was time for me to walk down the aisle. I was marrying the guy of my dreams. I made my way around the corner and then I was faced with a crowd that was waiting for me to walk pass them to my fiance that would be my husband in a few minutes. I looked at Riley and the sea breeze blew his styled, blonde hair . He smiled but it didn't meet his crystal, blue eyes. I smiled back but I was unsure of his.

I walked slowly and then I looked to the left and saw my bridesmaids and the maid of honor, Lina. She was smiling and holding my little bundle of joy, Lily. Her little hands clapped and she giggled as she saw me coming. Tim stood by Riley at the alter and he gave me a warm smile. I couldn't help but smile back. Tim was such a wonderful guy and who would have ever thought that he would be in my wedding.

I finally made it to Riley. I passed my bouquet of flowers to Lina who then passed them to one of the bridesmaids because she was holding Lily. Riley took my hands into his as we faced each other. My eyes wanted to tear up but I couldn't start that because my makeup would be completely ruined. I smiled at my love and I rubbed his hands because of how nervous I was. I could feel how nervous Riley was too by the way his hands vibrated on mines.

"Its okay", I reassured him.

He gave me another weak smile and it chilled me to the bones.

Was he okay?

"We are all gathered here today...", the guy that was marrying us, started. He got through the little speech and the Riley and I shared our vowels. As Riley said his vowels his voice cracked from time to time.

Was he okay?

"Malia, do you take Riley to be your lawful wedded  husband?", he asked me.

"Yes".

"Riley, do you take Malia to be your lawful wedded wife?", he finally asked him.

Then there was silence.

"Riley?", I whispered.

There was still silence.

I looked into the crowd and everyone looked at us with confusement and then I could see others whispering something into the others ear.

"Riley", I whispered but this time a little louder. I was starting to feel really embarrassed and thoughts began to settle into my mind.

"I'm sorry Malia", he said that left everybody gasping.

"What? ", I asked a little astonished by what he said.

"I'm sorry, I can't marry you", he said. He let go of my hand and then backed away from me.

I felt a sharp pain through my chest which I knew was my heart breaking. Everything around me had stopped and few moments later so did my heart.

"W-what? Why?", I finally got out. "No, this can't be happening".

"Im inlove with someone else. I can't marry you, I never--

"Malia!", I heard Lina shout.

I looked into the crowd before I looked at Riley. My family was fighting and arguing with Riley's family.

"No",  I mumbled to myself.

"No", I whispered again. ".

"Malia!", I heard Lina yell again.

*

"No, no--", I heard myself mumbling.

"Malia". Lina's voiced drowned out the sound of my words.

I sat up quickly and I felt like I had just been pulled out of a pool that I had been drowning in.

"Malia, are you okay?", Lina asked me.

I looked around the room that was decorated with all white. Lina, Layni, my mom, Holland, Taryn, Danny and a woman that grew up with Lina and I, all stood around me as I was trying to figure out what had just happened.

Was I dreaming?

"Malia, are you okay?", my mother asked.

Something had just hit me. "No, I'm not okay", I said.

Everyone looked at me with shock and confusement.

"Whats wrong?", Lina asked.

I stood up and then walked over to the mirror. Everyone stayed where they were and my mother followed me. I looked into the mirror and I could see that my eyes were watery. They wanted to just come tumbling down onto my cheeks.

"I can't do this", I said.

"What?", she asked. "Maybe you should drink some water and lay back down. I think you may have had a bad dream", she explained to me.

"No mom, I can't marry Riley", I argued.

I looked at everyone who I could tell couldn't believe what I was saying.

"Honey, just lay down. I will go get you some water, alright?"

"I don't need any water. I just don't want to make a mistake. Maybe marrying Riley isn't the right thing to do", I explained to them. "I don't want to look like a fool.

I had talked Riley into letting us have the wedding a little later. It turned into five months later. With Lacey in prison for years for stalking, breaking and entering, murder and attempted murder, everything started running a little smooth after that. Riley took days off of work and we planned the wedding.

"Malia, you're not going to look like a fool. Riley loves you too much, sweetheart", Holland, Riley's aunt, said.

I shook my head. I didn't want to believe what she was saying. After what I just had a dream about, it felt too real that it had me convinced.

My eyes began to burn from the tears that threatened to come pouring out.

"I'm sorry, but I can't marry your nephew", I said as I quickly ran out of the room and into the hall to the nearest bathroom. I locked the door so that no one could find me or come inside.

The tears that had threatened to come down, finally did. I couldn't stop the sobs that came out of my mouth. I didn't know what to do. Should I marry him? Should I not marry him? I was torn between the two. I didn't want my wedding to end up like my dream or 'premonition'. I was too afraid.

A few minutes passed as I sat on the sink table.I leaned against the wall and was staring up at the ceiling. My eyes were blurred and so was my future.

"Malia", I heard Riley's voice say through the door.

I jumped up and I didn't want to answer. I didn't want him to know that I was in here.

"Malia, I know you're in there", he said.

Shit.

"Go away, Riley!", I yelled.

"I'm not going away until you open the door and talk to me", he said.

"No, she shouldn't open the door. You are not suppose to see the bride before the wedding", I heard Riley's Aunt say.

"Fine, babe, I don't know what's gotten into you but I promise you are not going to make a fool of yourself out there. I love you and I still want to marry you and nobody can change that but you.", he explained.

"I love you Riley, I really do. I want to marry you", I said.

"Then what's the matter?", he asked.

"Don't run out on me, please", I said with tears and sobs coming out.

"I would never do that to you", he said. "I promise".

So he really did want to marry me.

"No second thoughts?", I asked.

"Of course not", he said.

I could hear the sincere in his voice.

A little smile played across my face.

I was worrying for nothing.

"I love you", he said.

"I love you too, Riley", I said as tears strolled down my face.

I heard foot steps walking away and then I climbed down from the sink.

"Malia, Honey", I heard Holland say through the door. "Riley's gone now, so you can come out".

I walked to the door and unlocked it and then opened it and standing on the other side was Holland. Her blue eyes, like Riley's, met mines. I gave her a hug and then I pulled back.

"Now, lets have a wedding", she said. She took my hand and led me back to the dressing room.
