I love her. I always have. I know if she knew my feelings she would re think this whole wedding. I have been in love with her since Tony brought her to my party. The trouble being she was with him. For two years I have pined after her. I love Tony like my own brother. I would never intentionally hurt him. I just can’t hide my feelings any longer. This is my last chance to tell her how I feel. She getting married today and I know its cliché, but I just need her to know.
I XXXX on her dressing room door, my hands were sweaty and shaking as the door opened. She looked like an angel in her white dress. I wish it were me she was marrying. “Hi Mark what are you doing here”, she asked? Becky I need to talk to you”, I said my voice quivering. “Becky for a long time I’ve had feelings for you and I need you to know how I feel”, I cried. “Please don’t do this Mark, your confused”, she yelped.
“I’m sorry But I love you”, I cried. “You can’t do this on my wedding day”, she yelled. As the words fell out of her mouth a man sitting in the corner I had not noticed stood up from a chair. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing son”, her father yelled. “I’m sorry sir but I love your daughter”, I said. “Stop saying that “, she screamed. “Daddy”, she cried. With these words he was upon me.
He dragged me kicking down to the basement. He wasn’t going to let me ruin his daughter’s big day. Mr. Jacobs please you don’t have to do this”, I yelled. “I’m sorry son I can’t let you do this, I just need you out of the way until after the wedding”, he said. “You’re a good guy but this is wrong and you need to cool down and think a while about what you’re doing”, he said in a sympathetic voice. He pulled my arms behind my back and he started with the rope.
He tied me up tight. He snaked the rope around my writs and knotted it tightly. He pulled my ankles together and did the same. I fought against my binds, but could not loosen the rope. He put strips of silver duct tape sealed my lips together. I didn’t mean any harm I just had to let her know. Here I was tied up with my mouth taped shut and my heart breaking. My dress socks slid against each other as I tried to break my ankles free. In my struggle I didn’t see Mr. Jacobs approaching me. “Again I’m sorry Mark”, he said. He pulled me onto a chair and with a swift tear placed tape over my eyes.
“MMMPPPHHH”, I grunted from my sealed mouth. I tugged and pulled with all the strength my body could muster. Sweat trickled from my brow and loosened the adhesive that blinded me. I was able to rub the tape loose and off my eyes.
I heard the music start as I vainly tried to loosen the tape from my mouth. I fought like I never have before. I had to get up to the garden and stop the wedding. I know she loves me back, she never denied it. She never said she didn’t love me she just cried for me to stop saying it. Her father was right I needed time to reflect, she must love me too.
I was running on adrenaline. My weak body struggled to get to its feet. My love for her was not going to be hindered by rope and duct tape. “MMMPPPHHH”, I grunted.
I hopped to the basement door and began a new struggle. I fought with the latch and was able to jar the door open. I began my hop put the door and up the stairs. As I did the wedding march began. I was going to stop this wedding if it took every ounce of life out of me. If her father catches me before I make it, my life may be the price.
