Tiffany pov.
It was my lovers wedding. Shall I say ex lover now. Me and Lisa haven't spoken one on one since a week ago. I didn't say much but she asked if her marrying Jennie was the right decision because she still loves me. I simply told her to marry someone who loves you and don't chase after someone like me who will never love you.
It hurt her but something told me that she knew I was lying.
I can't believe she's actually getting married to someone who isn't me. When me and Lisa started it was just something fun. I didn't know that I would grow to love her.
Me and Lisa were originally friends. My sister is friends with her. I was secretly dating Lisa behind everyone's back.
I don't think we both expected it. It was just fun at first. We broke up when I found out I was ill, I'll be gone soon and I told Lisa to move on. It hurt when her and Jennie got engaged, I love Lisa but I wanted her to fall out of love with me because I won't be here for much longer. Call me selfish but I want to leave here knowing she's happy without me. I don't want her crying over me when I'm gone, I'll love to her to have happy memories of us but I had to hurt her so she can move on.
The only people who know about me and Lisa is my sister Irene and Lisa's friend Bambam. The only people who know about my illness is my sister.
Lisa told me she was getting married to Jennie. She said she loves her, I wanted her to be lying but I knew in her heart she was telling the truth. Maybe deep down at some point she did have feelings for me. I'll pretend she did. It all happened so fast but I asked for this, I wanted this to happen.
I know Lisa loved me but I want her to love Jennie more, even if she still tells me she loves me, I have to tell her I didn't love her back because I don't have much time here, I didn't want her to think I'm still in love with her.
I broke Lisa's heart by telling her I didn't love her anymore but in reality I wasn't going to be here long. I wanted her to hate me but I guess she never could, she told me she could never hate me but I know I broke her heart.
She's beautiful. Perfect. Everything Lisa ever wanted in a partner. When I set Lisa and Jennie up it hurt but I was doing it for Lisa in the long run.
I just wished it was me instead. In a perfect world it would be me and Lisa getting married, if only life was that good to me. I reminded friends with Lisa because I want to see her happiness with Jennie even though it hurt me inside. I trust Jennie with Lisa's heart because I know she cares for her deeply.
It's the after party of the wedding. Lisa and Jennie just finished dancing.
Jennie: tiff why don't you sing a song. Your sister says you're quite the singer.
I chuckle as I look over at Irene who motions to the stage.
Tiffany: sure, only for the lovely couple.
I smile but Lisa knew it was fake. Lisa gulps as she watches me take the stage.
Tiffany: hi I'm Tiffany. This is a song from the movie, Coco, I really like it and I think I can relate to it. I'll guess I'll dedicate this song to the lovely couple,
I say looking at Lisa and she knew I was looking at her.
Everyone cheers and claps, when the noise dies down. Irene hands me a guitar.
I start strumming the strings.
Tiffany: Remember me, though I have to say goodbye
Remember me, don't let it make you cry
Forever, if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart
I look towards Lisa and I could see a tear roll down her face as Jennie was looking at me with amazement.
Tiffany: I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
I look away from Lisa as I sing, I didn't want to cry. Not here.
Tiffany: Remember me, though I have to travel far
I close my eyes to stop my tears from falling.
Tiffany: Remember me each time you hear a sad guitar
I open my eyes and I feel a tear roll down my face.
Tiffany: Know that I'm with you, the only way that I can be
Until you're in my arms again
I sing towards Lisa's direction and her eyes never left mine.
Tiffany: Remember me, remember me, oh
Remember me, remember me
I close my eyes again as memories of Lisa and me are playing in my mind,
Tiffany: If you close your eyes and let the music play
Keep our love alive, I'll never fade away
If you close your eyes and let the music play
The love we shared will be with me in another life time.
Tiffany: Keep our love alive, I'll never fade away
If you close your eyes and let the music play
Keep our love alive, I'll never fade away
Remember me
I finish the song and open my eyes. I see everyone clapping, Jennie looks so happy as she looks at Lisa who wiped away her tears. Jennie hugs Lisa and kisses her, I look away because I can't bare the sight of new love.
Bambam and Irene run up to me and hug me.
Bambam: beautiful song choice.
Irene whispers in my ear
Irene: stay strong sis.
As the night went on.
I walk outside, my tears are rolling down my face. My heart will be at ease soon and so will Lisa's, it's for the best.
??: Tiff?
I look back and see Lisa. I wipe my tears quickly. I turn to her and chuckle.
Tiffany: aren't you supposed to be inside?
Lisa shakes her head
Lisa: you lied to me?
Lisa looks hurt, the look I didn't want to see. She's supposed to be happy, it's her wedding night.
Lisa: you said you didn't love me? That's why we broke up? You lied!
I shake my head
Tiffany: be happy Lisa, you've got a perfect bride.
Lisa takes my hand and her touch melts me.
Lisa: you're ill, why didn't you tell me? I could of been by your side instead you decided to break my heart.
How did she know?
Tiffany: who told you?
I let Lisa hold my hand, I couldn't build up the strength to let go.
Lisa: last night, Minnie over heard you and Irene talking and told me, she was crying so I know she wasn't making it up. Why? Why did you do this to me?
I shake my head
Tiffany: I wanted you to hate me so it'll be easier for when I leave you. Leave this world knowing you found love is my last wish.
Lisa sobs
Lisa: I... I rather be... by your side for this... why didn't you tell me? Don't leave me Tiffany, I'll get you the best doctors, you'll be cured.
I shake my head and smile through the pain.
Tiffany: it's too late Lisa, the doctor already told me I haven't got much time left, don't worry about me now your new life starts with Jennie.
Lisa pulls me into a hug, she tightly hugs me not wanting to let go. I hug her back. I close my eyes because I didn't want this to end.
Lisa: please... please, don't say that... don't go.
I chuckle as I feel Lisa cry into my shoulder.
Tiffany: just remember me Lisa... when I'm gone... remember me every time you feel like breaking apart, Jennie is a great girl and I can die happy knowing you're in great hands.
Lisa shakes her head
Lisa: I still love you Tiffany, please don't go.
I pull Lisa away and she didn't want to let me go. I fight her off me. Tears rolling down my face. I smile as I wipe her tears.
Tiffany: I love you too Lis... promise me in the next life time you'll be with me.
Lisa shakes her head,
Lisa: don't... don't do this...
I let Lisa go.
Tiffany: bye Lisa.
With that I leave with tears rolling down my face,
Lisa: Tiffany don't go!!
Lisa shouts for me and I just walk away.
Goodbye is forever the hardest thing to say to someone you love the most.
Remember me Lisa. I'll be back soon and in your arms again.

I promise they'll be happy shorts too.
