{PROLOGUE......SIX YEARS BEFORE}

No one seemed to notice me in the back of the church all by myself. As I stood there with my arms wrapped around The middle of my tiny frame. No one saw the tears cascading down my face. I stood there silently, knowing if I made myself known people would not be happy with me. But no one would be able to guess why I was crying, they all probably thought I was happy for the couple at the front of the church. Even if they could guess why I was crying, they would never guess the thoughts running through my head.

'That should be me up there. This should be my wedding' I thought angrily to myself.

There were probably only a handful of people in the church who knew the truth. That knew that this wedding that was taking place, shouldn't have been taking place. That this wedding should be between the groom and me. Not the girl standing in front of him, the one who tore them apart.

Although I had always thought that the fates had brang us together. They always seemed to have one thing or another keeping them apart. They always seemed to be fighting against an invisible shield that was trying to keep them apart. And it would seem that this time it worked and that she would never be with him again.

He would never know about the secret I was carrying around right now. The woman he was marrying made sure of that. My mind drifted back to two weeks before hand.

**FLASHBACK TWO WEEKS BEFORE**

I went down another aisle at the local Wal-Mart. I was searching for something in particular, but was neverous about grabbing it. My best friend Alison was somewhere in a dressing room in the store. Once I heard she was coming here, I made her come and pick me up to come with her. She had no clue why I wanted to come with her. I had made up some excuse that I had forgotten a swim suit for the honeymoon. Of course being my bestfriend she didn't question it, she knew the closer it got to my wedding the more scattered brained I got.

Turning a corner again to the right aisle I took a deep breath and pushed the cart down the aisle. There was only one other person in the the aisle, it was a woman in her early thirty's at least. I went pass the section of the condom's blushing slightly. I had absolutely no reason to be blushing about it though, it's not like I was a stranger to sex. Sex is what got me into this mess I was in anyway's. Not that I wouldn't be happy if I was pregnant, Infact I would be ecstatic if I was. I mean Zach and I were getting married in a few weeks from now. It's just that we were both still so young and had plenty of time to start a family. A Lot of people didn't understand why we were marrying so young.

I stopped in front of the pregnancy tests and nervously looked over them. I had no clue which one to pick out. I shifted from one foot to the other uncomfortably. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the woman who was in the aisle looking at me, judging me. I felt tears prick at the back of my eyes, but held them back. I was so intensely staring at those tests, that I hadn't noticed that woman moving towards me.

"Here this one usually works best for the first time," she said in an almost whisper, handing me a Clear Blue pregnancy test box.

"Thanks," I sniffed, wiping under my eyes.

"Your welcome," she responded, with a nod of her head and than she walked off.

Pulling myself together I tossed the box in the cart and pushed it out of the aisle as fast as I could. Hoping not to run into anyone that I knew. But of course I wouldn't be so lucky as to not running into anyone. Right when I turned the corner I ran smack dab into Alisha and her posse. Alisha was Alison's cousin and we both hated each other with a passion. Alisha hated me because we both liked Zach and Zach had choose me to be with. Of course Alisha always thought she was the better choice for Zach.

"Well well well what do we have here? Oh it's a bottom feeder," Alisha sneered at me.

I honestly didn't want to deal with her today of all days. Plus I knew Alison was probably looking for me by now. I tried pushing my cart past her, only to have her grab the cart stopping me. She walked around the cart like a predator stalking it's prey. Her eyes flicked down into the cart and than flicked up to mine. I saw something flicker in her eyes, but didn't look away though. She finally stopped right in front of me and ran a perfectly manicured hand through her hair.

"You need to stop pretending Maddison and call off this ridiculous wedding to Zach. You know he doesn't really love you. He's just using you. He loves me, not you." she said, picking at her nails, not looking at me.

Her posse which still surrounded my cart all snickered at her comment.

"Your wrong Alisha, you really need to realize that Zach choose me and not you. Zach and I are getting married. He's marrying me," I responded.

I don't think she thought I would stick up for myself. I think she thought I would be a coward and back down from her, like everybody else does. But I wasn't everyone else. Her eyes flicked back up to mine, fire burning behind them.

"Look here Maddison, Zach deserves someone like me and not you. Do you really think someone like Zach Parise is going to be faithful to you?" she asked, with a smirk.

"Zach loves me. I know he's faithful to me," I answered.

"Really, well what if I told you he wasn't? That he had been unfaithful to you?" she asked, with a challenging stare.

"I don't believe you," I stated firmly, staring right right back at her.

"Ok here's the deal you little bitch. I tried being nice to you. Breaking it easily to you. But you have to make it hard. Your going to call off your wedding to Zach tonight. Zach is over at my parents right now and their discussing plans to make your wedding, 'our' wedding," she said, flicking her hair over her shoulder.

"Y-you're crazy," I stated, shaking my head.

"I may be crazy, but I have my man. Oh and I just want you to know you need to leave him alone. We're getting married and starting a family," she sneered quietly, her eyes flicking to the pregnancy test box.

I couldn't say anything, my throat was dry as a dessert at that revelation. I licked over my lips which seemed to be as dry as my throat. My eyes stayed on hers.

"Oh yes that's right Maddison. I'm pregnant with Zach's kid," she said, leaning in like it as a big secret.

"I-I-I don't believe you," I stuttered again, gripping the cart hard, tears pricking my eyes.

"Oh I am," she smirked.

I started shaking my head in disbelief.

"Listen and listen good. Break up with Zach tonight. If you don't want anything to happen to your baby," she said, eyes flicking to the test again. Than she started back away from me.

"Oh and Maddison, Zach's never to find out about your little mistake. If he does things will happen," she sneered.

**END OF FLASHBACK**

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride," the preachers voice broke through my thoughts. Bringing me back to the present.

Shaking my head to clear my thoughts I looked up to the front just as Zach was pressing a kiss to Alisha's lips. I felt my stomach roll. It was more than I could take. I couldn't watch them act like a happy couple. I looked to the side and saw our friend Matt looking at me with sympathetic eyes. That was more than I could take, the damn broke again. Shaking my head I turned and rushed from the church with my vision blurry.

I knew I shouldn't have driving. I should have called a friend or a cab. But I didn't want to see the pity in my friends eyes. And I didn't want to have to wait on a cab and risk the chance to run into someone. But I know now I shouldn't have been driving upset as I was, with the tears blurring my vision.

Because if I had been in the right state of mind I would have realized that the skies had opened and were crying as I was. I would have realized that I was going around that corner to fast, just to escape as fast as I could. I would have realized that the corner was slick from the wetness.

But it was to late. Everything was already set in motion. I tried to turn the wheel into the spin. But it was to late. I think I was in to much shock to even scream as my car started to tumble. The sound of metal screeching in protest as it was being bent and glass shattering was the only thing that could be heard. The only thing I could think of was Zach as I hit my head hard on the side window and the car slid to a halt. I fought to keep my eyes open as the darkness tried to pull me under. The last thing I remember before the darkness surrounded me was,

'Oh god Zach will never know I was pregnant. He will never know about his baby' I thought to myself.
