Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Van POV
All my life since I met Lit, standing in front of the altar while waiting for Lit to come before me has been my main dream, but now at this time, that dream of mine seems to have changed.
Because I'm not waiting for Lit to come in front of me now, I'm waiting for the girl my twin loves, the girl I never dreamed of waiting in front of the altar is the one I'm waiting for now.
I feel no excitement at these times, I am not satisfied at these times.
The woman I dreamed of waiting for in front of the altar finished having sex with my best friend. Is my karma like this because I left her at Vampire High?
It was dark around, the door of the church was closed and later they would open it again so that Cleopatra could enter. A very familiar song started playing. Get you the moon. Van chose the song because that's his favorite to listen to all the time.
A/N: Play Get you the moon by Kina.
You gave me a shoulder when I needed it
You showed me, love when I wasn't feeling it
You helped me fight when I was giving in
And you made me laugh when I was losing it
The door of the church began to open and from the outside, Cleopatra could be seen wearing her wedding gown that I think she and Van had chosen. As I looked at Cleopatra, I remembered Lit's dream that she told me before.
"Von, when we get married I want us to go to the church so that they will close the door and then open it when I enter, then of course I will cry because I will see you waiting for me in front of the altar while I walk slowly towards you," Lit said holding a magazine of wedding gowns, I don't know where she got the one she was holding.
"Hmmm, whatever you want, that's what I want, as long as I wait for you to get out of this school, then we'll do your plan," I said, so she looked at me, then smiled and nodded.
Cleopatra slowly walked down the aisle but no emotion could be seen on her face, we both dislike what is happening now.
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water
I know Van is the one she wants to marry, but because of what happened to them in the Bermuda Triangle, someone else is waiting for her now.
'Van you should be here... You should be standing in my place now.'
I took a deep breath.
And if I could, I'd get you the moon
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you
What I watched before at Franco and Lit's wedding came back to me again. I felt a pain in my chest because of that thought. To this day it still hurts, especially since Lit and I have a child.
Yezrah, Lit's daughter, entered my mind again. What am I going to tell her when she finds out that I didn't marry her mother? My daughter will be mad when she finds out that her parents married someone else.
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water
If I had known that I would have married someone else and Lit would have married someone else, I wish... I wish I hadn't left her at Vampire High, I wish I had taken her with me, I wish I had been selfish back then maybe she's the woman walking in front of me now.
And if I could, I'd get you the moon
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you
My mother and Von taught me that I should fight for what I want, what is my right, and what I feel.
'Cause you are, you are
Oh, you are
Oh, you are. You are
She raised me so that I should fight for what I want even though he and Papa always fights because she always sided with me, It might not be bad if now I fight again for what I want and what I feel is right.
I will just think that I will do this not for me but for my daughter, Yezrah.
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water
I will do the same for my partner and my heart. I don't want to be tied to another woman who doesn't love me, that I don't like, I don't want to be tied to someone else.
Cleopatra arrived in front of me, and like me she was emotionless. We face the older vampire who will marry us together.
"Anyone who is against Cleopatra Hit and Von Vaughn marrying each other should speak up and say the reason." Everything was quiet, I felt the surroundings before I did what was running through my mind.
"Then let's start the---"
"Stop the wedding!" I shouted followed by two voices, Cleopatra and I looked at each other as we shouted at the same time, we also looked at a voice that joined us in shouting then and from where I was standing I saw Van my twin who stood in the aisle and fainted.
And if I could, I'd get you the moon
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you
"Van..." Cleopatra and I called at the same time. My twin is like a wilted vegetable, which makes me feel sorry for him even more, I don't know what is happening to him, Leona only told us that there is a poison in Van's body that is weakening him now. I remembered again what Aphrodite had told me earlier that Van would die tonight.
