Larsadie

~S-I-X-T-Y-T-H-R-E-E~

Sadies POV

I stare down the water bottle, pondering all this new information. Future me continues,

"There's nothing else I could say. We dated for a couple of years, and now I'm married to Ronaldo."

I look up at her, "What about the wedding? How was that?"

"Oh..." she looks at the wedding photo. "It was a good day. I..um..." she clears her throat. "I actually tried to invite Lars, but he never showed up."

I feel my heart ache a bit. 

I know we weren't together anymore...but...

I thought he'd still care about my happiness...

"...this might be a bit too personal, even for, well, future me. But...have you two....?"

She looks at me confused, then her eyes widen and a blush  creeps onto her face.

"N-No! No no no. We're still waiting for the perfect moment to have a family. Right now, Ronaldo is working for his fathers company. He's starting to make it a world wide business. Fryman is going to be a name known all over the USA."

"Oh...congratulations" I say, not really enthused. 

But how could I be married to Ronaldo?

I thought he was into Jenny.

"Wait-" I say, "what happened to Jenny?"

Future me sips her tea, "there's nothing of her. She's somewhere up in the city. Modeling? Busniness? Clearly no one knows."

"Does Ronaldo ever talk about her?"

She shakes her head. "We don't like to bring up the past..." she sips again, "gets us thinking about what could've been and it's just unhealthy."

I don't comment. The ticking of a clock sounds through the room, and the quietness is slightly errie. 

"So, how you holding up...? You know; since Lars and all"

"I'm okay." I say it a little bit too dryly.

Silence once more.

"I'm sor-"

"Are you happy?" I interrupt her.

"Excuse me?"

"I asked if you're happy. Is this what you always wanted?" I look at her with a straight face.

I need to know if the decision I made was a good one.

What if this relationship leads to happiness.

Before she could answer, the door opens and in comes Ronaldo. He smiles widely at the two of us, "See, Sadie? I told ya' I'd see you soon!" He laughs and goes to future me. He kisses the top of her head. As I look at them, the happy 'picture perfect couple', it just...doesn't seem right. Ronaldo is a good guy, really, he is. But...I can't put my finger on it.

"What are you doing home this early?" Future me asks the grown up Ronaldo.

"Just wanted to surprise my amazing and beautiful wife!" He turns to me, "I hope she told you, and you aren't freaking out." 

I shake my head, "no, she told me. I'm happy for you two." 

He smiles and goes into the hallway. As a door slams shut, future me turns to me,

"...no."

"Huh?"

"I saw the way you were looking at us, Sadie. I know that look, I'm you. I'm...I'm not happy."
