Prompt:
Third part of All these years
____

Months went on and on after the decision of going with my fiancé Camila... Since this day, I received no news from my past love Alycia, I kept hoping she was okay, hoping she went on and forgot about us and started a new story with someone else.

The wedding day was finally here and I couldn't be more exited about this ! We were staying at this wonderful place in Los Angeles with this Hispanic vibes we both wanted to celebrate Camila's roots. Old beige walls made of stones, heavy wooden doors, the place lighted by candles and torches, we couldn't wish for a better and prettier place than this.
The morning soft light woke me up before Camila so I stayed in bed, contemplating the view I had: seeing the outdoor getting awake, the soft breeze playing in the trees, the white curtains getting along, Camila still peacefully asleep next to me. I think I couldn't be happier than right now. Then I heard a raspy voice greeting me from the sheets:
-Good morning señorita!
-Hey! Good morning love!
We both were looking at each other holding all the love we had. Until then, the day started, all the people around making this day a whole dream for us. We both got ready in different places to keep the mystery to each other, the only thing we knew and agreed was to wear both dresses and since this day, we didn't discuss the rest of our looks. I was sitting in this big chair, looking at the white dress made of silk in front of me hanging while my hair was being done as my make up and nails. I felt so overwhelmed yet I knew it was only thousands of different positive emotions. I couldn't stop thinking about how was Camila, how her dress looked, what make up they decided to do or her hair... Few minutes later, everyone started to leave because the time was about to come. Now that I was in my dress, I stood in front of this tall mirror, admiring the work everyone did as everything was done and ready. It was the first time I saw myself all ready. I felt emotional but I couldn't cry already but this was the day I was about to commit to her. I took a last glance of this dress and took a deep shaky breath, trying to get ready to walk down the halls and to there. I met my father, eyes all glossy from the view, ready to walk me down the aisle before Camila, being the first to walk in. Not a lot of people were invited, we wanted this moment to be intimate and secret, reserved to our most loved ones.

Here I was, standing in front of everyone, my hands sweaty, not knowing what to do with them, scanning all the people around, smiling at them, waiting to see her coming from this beautiful garden behind us as the wedding was taking place outside in the late afternoon. Then I finally saw someone show up. But this person was alone. I couldn't yet see who this was but the only thing I knew that it was a woman, all dressed up in neutral light colours as she walked closer to get a seat in the back. Then I connected the dots. Alycia came. I don't know how because nobody invited her but she was here, looking at me from the back with her green eyes I knew so well. It felt like she left just the same day, her piercing eyes looking right into mines as tears fell down her cheeks. I panicked, I couldn't think she would show up, especially now and here but then the piano started to be played as I tried to put myself together again. Camila arrived with her father from the flowers and bushes in the back. She was breathtaking as she walked closer to me. Her dress mostly made of lace embraced her curves so beautifully, her long curly hair were down, I think she couldn't look better than right now with a wide smile and her dark eyes trying to hold back the tears. She was now here in front of me, taking my hands, both shaking :
- Are you okay? You seem so overwhelmed love.
- Yes, yes I am. You're just so... I don't have the words... Sorry!
I tried to put myself together but my mind was racing, wanting to look at Camila, admiring her but also look at the back of the crowd, trying to catch her eyes, hoping they would give me answers...

As the famous speech was spoken, I couldn't help but hope there was more time until I had to say these two words until I heard her say them. The question was now asked to me but a silence fell upon all of them. I was empty now. Tears fell down my face:
-I'm sorry love...
I whispered and kissed her cheek, taking my heels of and ran away, hearing the people around me asking what was happening. I heard Alycia calling my name but all I did was running to my car, asking for the keys to the man keeping them as I got it, I drove as fast as I could to nowhere, my tears blurring the road.
