I sat and home thinking about my choice to walk away from Austin. The decision now was, do I go with Duane or do I just walk away from them both. Duane seemed to really want me, yes I did still want him but he was the reason I lost Austin and he didn't seem to care. On the flip side, I was walking away from Austin and this means I should walk away from Duane as well as a sign of respect to Austin. If he woke up and found out I was with Duane that would hurt him more and prove that he couldn't trust me again. I couldn't do that to him, not a third time.
However, there was a part of me that didn't want to be so single. I turned and got out my phone, put it to my ear and listened to the phone ring. "hey I have been thinking about you a lot these last few weeks and I want you to meet me at my house in half an hour" I said and hung up the phone.
6 years later
I was 24 years old and it was my wedding day, in fact, it was my dream wedding with my soon to be husband. He had a great job that paid well and he had a wonderful personality, I couldn't be happier.
My wedding was in a Christian Church with an ocean see view in the Caribbean. The church had beautiful stain glass windows. Crystal white walls which we had decorated with red roses. The arch I stood under that I would soon be married under was large with white and red roses around it, in the shape of a heart. The day was very hot, sunny without a cloud in the sky. Everyone that attended wore white linen if you were male and a white dress or another outfit if you were female.
The wedding was about to begin and everyone stood up to look behind to see the cute flower girls throwing red petals on the floor in their white dresses. Behind them was my soon to be husbands three best men wearing a white suit with a blue flower in the front pocket. Behind them were my three best men white suits with a pink flower in their pockets. Finally, the next down the aisle was my soon to be husband and behind him was me.
As we met at under the arch the priest started the wedding ceremony. He gave a lovely speech, we both said our vows and finally it was time for the best part. "And do you take Jake to be your husband?" The minister asked. " I do" my soon to be husband said looking into my eyes smiling at me as he placed my diamond ring on my finger. "and do you take Justin to be your husband?" The minister asked me. " I do," I told him and placed Justin's diamond ring on his finger. "Now under the eyes of God, you are now married" The minster called loudly. We gave each other a kiss as the crowd cheered throwing petals into the air.
Yes that's right I ended up spending the rest of my life with Justin, I knew that he was the one after my mistake six years ago. He made me so happy and I am so pleased I got to spend the rest of my life with him.
But what happened to the others?
Austin woke up from his coma about six months after I left him, he didn't remember anything from the past year ago, but after getting some professional help he now remembers most of what happened. The crash, me and him together, me and Duane having an affair and so on. I reason I know this is because he now playing for a professional football team and he spoke of his injury briefly in an interview. He never did try to find me or try to contact me. I can only assume he didn't want me but I hope he did read my letter.
Duane did try to contact me several times after I left, I kept blanking him and eventually he got the picture. He went into a state of depression and had to seek help to get over it. He still lives alone to the best of my knowledge, maybe he will find someone someday, someone that's going to make him happy.
So everything worked out great for me and Austin, he was happy with his life, maybe he has someone he finds hot and loves deeply.
Perhaps this wasn't the fairy tale ending I thought I'd have when I started college all those years ago, but I didn't end up with my first true love. However, I'm more than happy with my husband now. I just hope my future is bright with him.
