Chapter one

~ 3 years ago ~ 

Today is the day. Today is the day I'm going to marry the love of my life. I have been waited for this moment for what feels like, my entire life.

" Are you ready, baby?" my mama asked.

I turned to her with a huge smile on my face. "Yes, I am mama. I'm so happy!!"

My mother smiled at me. Her eyes held so much love and happiness.

"Alrighty then. Let's marry that handsome young man of yours."

"Let'hope he doesn't leave me at the altar, or even worse, all of his dirty secrets come out,"  I said with a nervous laugh. 

She gives me a look.  "Hush stupid. Everything is gonna be fine," she says while putting her hands on my face, turning it so I can look her in the eyes. " Stop worrying. Wedding jitters are not what we need right now."

Looking into her eyes, I shake my head. "okay, I'm ready, let's go."

We heard 2 knocks on the door. "are you girls ready in there?  We wouldn't want the groom thinking that the bride doesn't want to marry him anymore now do we?" My dad asked. 

Me and mama laughed. "No pops, we wouldn't want him to think that. Were coming. I opened the door looking at my feet. I was nervous to see my dads reaction. This was going to be the first time he's gonna see me in my wedding dress. I looked up from my feet and looked at his face. As I looked into his eyes, I saw tears in them.

"Oh, pops. Don't cry." I said waving my hands in front of my face, trying not to let the tears fall and ruin my makeup. " I can't mess up my makeup" I chuckled

"Alright let's go. You've kept em waiting long enough." mama says interrupting me and dad.

I chuckled " yeah we should go. Let's go get married people.!"

As I walked down the aisle. My arm looped around my dad's arm. I looked up and see Kennedy smiling at me.

 You know when you get that feeling in your gut that something bad is about to or going to happen? That's what I'm feeling right now. I just hope that I'm wrong. I shook it off thinking it was wedding jitters. As we got to the end of the aisle, my dad handed me off to Kennedy.

Kennedy took my hand from my dad "you look beautiful" he whispers to me

"And you look handsome" I whispered back smiling up at him.

As I said my vows, I couldn't help but let out a few tears. I really can't believe I'm about to get married. This is so crazy. 

"And do you Raine Jelisa Ann Montgomery, Take Kennedy James Jones to be your lawful husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health, until death does you part."

I'm smiling so damn hard right now "I do."

"You may now kiss the bride"

I leaned up and kissed him. Everybody started clapping and cheering.

The ceremony is going fine. Everyone's having a good time, dancing, laughing, eating and drinking.

"Raine, I need to talk to you." I turned around and saw my handsome husband.

"Sure what is it?"I asked suddenly feeling nervous.

"I need to talk to you somewhere more private," he says. He grabs my hand and pulls me away from the party and into the hallway. He turns towards me, with a look in his eyes. He takes a deep breath "Raine, i-i think this was a bad idea." he says.

I could hear my heart pound painfully against my chest. "What do you mean?" I asked with a shaky voice. 

"The wedding, marrying you. I think it was a bad idea. I have to tell you something. I-I don't love you anymore Raine. To be honest, I just don't feel the same as when I first met you. I shouldn't have let it get this far, I should've ended this a long ago. I shouldn't have let you think that we would be together forever. I tried to stay and see if I could regain my feelings for you, but it just didn't work out and just can't do it anymore.Sorry." he finished.

I stood there, frozen. I couldn't say anything. I just stared at the man that I thought loved me, trying to process what all he just said, This piece of shit really just said that he cheated me.

"W-What?" I stuttered. "Why are you telling me this now. Right when we JUST GOT FUCKING MARRIED, YOU FUCKING BITCH!  YOUVE WAITED UNTIL AFTER WE GOT FUCKING MARRIED!! I screamed in his face.

"Raine, calm down, stop yelling! People might hear you," he says desperately trying to get me to calm down.

" I don't give a fuck if people hear me you fucking bastard. You decided to tell me all of this fucking shit on our fucking wedding day. You waited until after we said our fucking vows to tell me this shit." I yell.

I slapped the shit out of him. I felt like that wasn't enough so I decided to hit him again. This time I punched him in the eye. I just kept hitting him, hoping that it'll make me feel better.

"RAINE! STOP!" he yells. After he tries to grab my hands, failing miserably, he finally caught them.

Breathing heavily I snatched my hands away from his tight grip. I looked at him dead in the eyes" just go. I can't even stand to look at you right now. I want all of your shit outta MY house by tomorrow morning or else I'm gonna burn all of it." I seethed.

"I Can't believe this is really happening to me," I muttered to myself as tears were running down my face. Rubbing my hand through my hair.

"I'm filling for a divorce tomorrow. You know what, " I said looking him in the eyes "shit is small any fucking way." I laughed bitterly. 

He narrowed his eyes at me. "You think you were any better? Why do you think I got it elsewhere and not from you," he smirked

My jaw dropped. I can't even explain how mad I am right now. I punched his ass right in the nose. I smiled a little once I see blood falling down his nose.

He yelled and stumbled back holding his nose. "you fucking bitch"

"You better leave before I get my brother to come and beat your ass."

I saw a look of fear cross his face before he turned to leave. "I don't have time for this shit."

Soon as he walked through the doors I let my shoulders sag. That really just happened. I really just got dumped on my fucking wedding day and was told that I was being cheated on! Realization dawned on me and the tears started falling. I wasted 5 years of my life on someone who didn't even love me. 5 years. I covered my face with my hands as I let out a sob.

I felt someone touch my shoulder, I turned and see mama looking at me with pity in her eyes.

"ma.." I sobbed

"I know" she smiled sadly "I heard the whole thing."

I buried my face into her chest and just let it all out. This was really happening to me.
