Kaylee shakes her head so hard that the tiara on her head moves. She pushes it back while her heart beats uncontrollably.
"I am sorry but.... its no."
Shock breaks out on the ministers face and the same look is on Luke's face. "I can explain Kaylee, don't do this." Luke says
She doesn't know why she wants to see Tristan's reaction but she looks over Luke's shoulder anyway. He looks a bit stiff, but its his eyes that makes her go paralyzed. Kaylee turns around. Its the faces of shock and anger that stares her in the face. Her mothers eyes are shocked and big and her stepfather is furious. The silence is the worst.
There is only one desire in her and that is to escape all the faces staring at her. "I am sorry" she says for a second time. She lifts her designed wedding dress, with its 100 crystals and pearls and walk hastily down the hallway. She almost trip over her dresses seam and she stop for a second to kick of her high heels.
She was crazy to think that she can were this heals the entire night. Not even married yet and the shoe is already hurting her. Her thoughts want to make her laugh but also cry at the same time. It must be the tension. Outside she looks around. There is a lot of vehicles but she don't think any guest would leave their keys in the ignition. She wont get far by feet. Higher up in the street a white taxi is driver towards her. She lifts her arm to wave the taxi down. The taxi stops beside her.
The driver is shocked, She can see it in his eyes. She opens the taxi door and ask. "Can you please drop me off at Brooklyn?" She doesn't wait for a answer but lifts her heavy dress and climbs in. "Please, drive!" she screams as people start to walk out of church.
Her stepfather and Luke is in front. Tristan stands on the step as the scene plays of in front of him. The driver gets a fright as he sees people storm towards his taxi. He pulls away so hard that her head hits the back of the seat.
"What did you do? Did you try to steal the churches money?" he asks
"In my wedding dress?" she asks him
Then she sees in the mirror he is smiling and just teasing her. She sits back in the seat relieved. That was close. Where she got the guts to storm out she don't know. She is just glad she did. She thinks about one pair of angry eyes. She doesn't even want to think about Tristan. He is partly responsible for everything.
It's Luke own fault that he has to stay behind and explain everything. He wanted to cheat and think he will get away with it. She dont think he will tell everyone the truth though. a Coward like him will save is own ass and put all the blame on her.
And Tristan's kiss? Wasn't it also cheating?
No it wasn't. It was just a kiss, a desperate act to put Luke's betrayal out of her thoughts. Even a court will let her go. She cant be held responsible for her actions. She wasn't herself, she tries to justify what happened.
Where in the city should I drop you of mam?" the taxi driver asks politely.
She gives him Chantal's address. She knows where Chantal puts her spare house keys. She climbs out in front of the apartment blocks. "I am sorry but I cant pay you right now."
"Dont worry it is going to be a nice story to tell my wife tonight." he says
"Thank you." Kaylee pushes the door closed and with the seam of the dress in one hand and her shoes in the other she walks towards the building fast and enters. She feels safe in Chantal's apartment and it makes her relax a bit. Her legs gives in and she falls down on the couch. Then it all sinks in what just happened. Luke's betrayal most of all. The girl was right.

Luke was unfaithful towards her. How could he do this to her? She thought he loved her. She was so sure that she could trust him. She was the naive. If a man says he loves you it doesn't mean you are the only one for him. If a man asks you to marry him, he doesn't stop to see his other girlfriend. She is the only one that believes that love and promises is stuff that will last forever.
She sits on the couch and closes her eyes. I should have listened to Chantal and cancelled the wedding the day that girl phoned me, but I was in denial. I didn't want to believe it. I didnt want to believe her. How could I?
The door swings open and Chantal stands there staring at me. "Sorry, its the only place I could excape to."
"No, its fine. My apartment will always be yours you know that." she says sitting next to me.
"So what happened after I left?" I ask.
Well Luke didn't say much, everyone wanted to know what happened but he didn't say a word. Your mother and father are furious and they are looking for you. I fled before they could speak to me. I knew you came to my apartment so I left and came right away." she says smiling at me sadly.
Kaylee closes her eyes and rest her head on the back of the couch. How could thing have gone so wrong. She opens her eyes and looks at Chantal. "I should have listened to you. I am sorry."
"No need to apologies Kaylee. Rather late than sorry. Imagine you went through with it? It would have been very difficult to get out of the marriage. I am glad you did it before it was to late even though I know it hurts." Chantal says
