Characters: Nayshun (3rd)(Breanna's stepson)
Title: Fade Into the Background

Nayshun didn't know why he let his parents drag him to this. It was one of the hardest things he ever had to do.
Watch the girl he loved go off and get married to someone else. He knew he wasn't really wanted here by the bride and groom but to save face, a invitation had been issued to Nayshun and he attended at his parents behest.
There were only 2 things Nayshun wanted to do: 1) grab Mari and run away with her or 2) leave the wedding he didn't want to attend and get as drunk as possible. Neither of those were an option without his parents getting severely upset with him.

The wedding march began, the backdoors swung open and the wedding guests all stood, facing the doors.

Mari stood there on her father's arm, smiling up at him. She turned her attention to the inside of the chapel.
As her eyes quickly scanned the guests who had come, she paused and looked a bit longer at Nayshun, not quite believing he had the gall to attend the wedding. She saw that smug smile she hated so much on his face. She raised an eyebrow in challenge, turned her attention back to the aisle, where her soon to be husband, Adrian, was waiting for her. Her smile returned brightly as she proceeded to walk down the aisle.

Nayshun had hoped for one last chance to change her mind but realized he was too late. Mari repeated her vows with such conviction that it felt like she was killing him with every word she spoke.

Nayshun had made a new best friend. Her name was Tonja and she was the bartender. She kept the drinks flowing and Nayshun kept ordering more. She had even promised to visit his hotel room to 'visit' him after she was finished at this reception.
