The Wedding
"I had been dumped, hurt, and heartbroken for almost all of my adult life. I'm twenty seven now, and after all these letdowns and hurt, I had decided to hurt someone just to feel what it would be like to make someone heartbroken. To devestate them completely. So, I carefully set my plan into motion. I met a very nice girl at a singles club not too long after deciding what I was going to do. We hit it off great, and everything was perfect. It was so perfect, I almost was going to go back on my plans, and not go through with this scheme. But, I kept telling myself to be strong, I was going to make someone as innocent as me feel the heartbreak. Well, anyhow, nine months later I asked her to marry me. I tried to sound as convincing as I could. It worked like ten luck charms. Of course, I was feeling good about now, I was going to have everything ready and set, walk up and say "I don't, because I hate you.". That was my line, mean isn't it? Let me skip ahead. It was "the big day". We were standing up there ready to say "I do". Not me though, of course. My family was not there, because I didn't wan't them to see this little episode. Actually, my family didn't know anything about this at all, I was moved away to another state from them, and I didn't say anything about my plan of course. Anyway, she then said "I do". Then the guy asked me: "Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" I was very nervous, but not going to go back on this. I slowly turned my head to look at her, and then stared for a moment as if..... I really was going to say "I do". But I was strong, I did say my line like I had rehearsed so much. "I don't, because I hate you." Her eyes shot opened widely, but she said nothing, she didn't blink, nothing. I then loudly proclaimed for her, and everyone there to hear: "This was all a game that I devised. All this I planned to do because I have been heartbroken so much. I just wanted to be on the end of power, just once. I don't believe in love, and I have been a fake person all along. Now, I'm leaving. Goodbye." I quickly made my way to the door to make my escape. She ran after me. I ran faster, so did she. I ducked into an alley, but she followed me and cornered me. I said to her: "Get over it. Go away. It really was a game. Now go." She glared sharply at me and then took a few steps back as if to start going away. But to my surprise, she reached under her dress and pulled out a pistol.
"I'll bet you're sorry you did that now. I'm that wanted woman, haven't you seen me on television?" I didn't say anything, but i did recognize her. She was the "honeymoon murderer". This woman is wanted for marrying men, then killing them on the honeymoon, and then changing identitys to do it again. "I was hurt so much by men.I've been heartbroken for my entire life. I sympathyze with you." I was stunned, I almost fell on the concrete. "This is fate, it must be. lets go back there, tell them we fixed our problems and get married. We'll be partners." I quickly agreed, and holding hands, we took the short walk back to the chapel and tied the knot, each of us knowing that we would be heartbroken no more."
THE END
