"You will never do the same thing that you did with me to Nia, you will always stay loyal no matter what" She said. I was about to speak but she spoke before me.

"And you will never see me again after this. Never ever. This is the last time you and me see eachother" she said with a stone cold face.

"What?! No, I'll never promise you that Bella, I can't" I shook my head.

"I ask for this promise as an apology for everything you've done to me" She said and I shook my head.

"No" I couldn't help but cry again.

"Justin..." She warned but then cupped my cheek with her hand.

"You will have to" she said, not waiting for me to answer.

"I want you to have sometime" I said and took out the small red velvet box from the pocket of my tux and opened it for her, revealing the ring I proposed her with.

She looked at it and then back at me.

"Didn't you give this to Nia?" She said.

"No, I never gave it to her. She just...took it. But I couldn't stand that, this will forever and always belong to you and only you" I said.

"This is also a promise that I will always love only and only you and I know I've been the worst person to you but you will always be my one and only woman Bella. I wasn't able to keep this promise while we were married but I swear to God, I'll keep it for the rest of my life" I said.

I stood up before she could argue about it.

"And that's my only promise to you" I said before turning around and rushing out.

I stormed past Michael and ran out of the house and to my car.

I made sure I wiped my face properly before driving to the wedding venue. By the time I reached the venue, my eyes were a little less than blood red.

I stepped in and saw the place filled with Nia's family and friends and it remains me of how me and Bella got married in a small church with just one of Bella's friend as the witness and the priest but it will always be the best day of my life.

That's it... I can't do this. I have to stop this.

I cut my way through the crowd while ignoring everyone's wishes and searched for Nia.

"Hey, where's Nia?" I asked when I saw one of her friend.

"She's in there getting ready" she pointed at the rooms.

"Thanks" I mumbled and ran there. I barged inside the first room to see a lot of girls in there while Nia sat in front of the mirror as one of the girl did her hair while the other did her makeup.

"Jay!" She smiled happily when she saw me.

"Nia we need to talk, alone" I said and her smile dropped.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"Just please ask everyone to leave right away" I said she looked at the girls and nodded so they all left the room and shut the door.

She stood up and walked to me.

"Jay are you okay?" She asked and I shook my head.

"No, I'm not, not at all. I don't wanna do this Nia, I can't! I can't marry you" I said.

"Justin calm down, you're just having cold feet its-

"It's not cold feet for fuck sake Nia! I'm in love with Bella and I can't marry anyone else. She's everything for me and I'm the dumbest person to push her away!" I said and her eyes widened.

"Do you even fucking understand what you're talking?! Everyone's out there waiting to see us get married!" She spat.

"I'm sorry Nia, I really really can't, I have to go" I said and ignored her screams as I ran out of the place.

I sat back in the car and drove home.

The moment I stepped in the house and shut the door behind me, I let out a deep breath.

But the relief only lasted till I realised that I had lost my everything a long, long ago and now she's happy with someone else.

My chest tightened and the thought of being this miserable for the rest of my life scared me.

I decided to take a shower so I made my way up to the bedroom but my feet took me somewhere else, not the bathroom.

I walked inside my closet instead and didn't think twice before opening that drawer.

Bella

"Heard anything from Justin after that?" Michael asked and I shook my head.

"Nothing" I said while folding the clean laundry. He walked to me and wrapped his arms around me from the back.

"I think you should check up on him" he said.

"No Mike, I need to stay away as much as I can" I said and he nodded.

"Yeah I know. He looked like a mess though" he said.

"I'm trying to forget his face, stop reminding me of that" I said.

"Oops someone's grumpy today, maybe I can fix that" He said and started kissing my neck making me giggle.

He groaned when my phone started to ring.

"Can you get that please? I don't want to talk to anybody right now" I said and he nodded.

"Hey Stacy, Michael here" he answerd.

Why is Stacy calling so late?

"Yeah she's here, what's the matter? You sound ou-

He stopped taking and his face dropped with every second.

"What..." He mumbled which worried me.

"Okay" he said and hung up.

"What's it?" I asked after he looked at me.

His face told me the news is anything but pleasant but when I heard it, my heart dropped to floor.

"Justin overdosed on Xanax"
