The Answer To Second Passage!

Sorry I fogot to post yesterday.

She looked at herself in the mirror, still anxious but excited. She observed herself, trying to criticize any imperfection. She was praying that there wasn't anything on her wedding dress that she couldn't see. Today was the last day she would be a free woman, for tomorrow was the day she would become Mrs. Nikki Summers.The door opens, then is slammed, and she stirred when she saw her fiancé, Jared, in the reflection of the mirror. "Jared, what are you doing here?! Oh, God, you weren't supposed to see me in my-"She stopped herself short when he realized he looked worried."What's wrong?"He ignored her. He didn't even look up, as if he hadn't even heard her.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She gasped at what she saw.Disturbing cuts and bruises appeared on her body, and her wedding dress was suddenly covered in blood. And then she remembered her nightmare the night before.It was still feint, still a blur. But it came to her now. She had been sitting on the cliff that looked high over the ocean, up into the sunset. She had thought she was in paradise, the beauty and peacefulness of that moment - all shattered by the feel of hands against her back, pushing her over the edge."Jared?" she said unsure, tears rising in her eyes, hoping it wasn't true. It can't be, she thought as her heart raced. It can't be.She reached out to rest her hand on his shoulder. "Jared, I-"But her hand passed right through him.His phone rang, and he took a quick, deep breath and answered. "Did you find the body?"She gulped as she could hear someone on the other end all too clearly."Yes," the person replied. "She...she was in the ocean. She most likely fell onto the rocks, considering the bruises on her body-"Jared shut the phone. He let out a sob, as did Nikki."No," Nikki cried, shaking her head ferociously. "No, it can't be! Please, you have to hear me. I'm right here. Jared? Jared!"His name echoed through the room. She noticed him shiver, and then whispered, "I'll never forget you, Nikki. How could I? You're going to be buried on our wedding day..."
Note: A person may die, but your love for them never will.
