He wasn't sure why he showed up. Why he bothered coming here when he knew his heart would break.
But he did and now he had to fake a smile and pretend he was alright as he watched the love of his life marry someone other than himself.
At some point during the ceremony tears began to stream down his face. Regulus, who happened to be sitting next to him, had asked if he was alright. "I'm fine, I just like weddings" He said with a forced smile.
Regulus clearly didn't believe it but he didn't say anything else and left him be. Barty quickly wiped away his tears and tried his best to keep more from falling down.
Tho that was proven difficult as he watched the only person he'll ever love give their heart out to someone else. He wished he was the one up there.
The one marrying him instead of her. Sadly that would only happen within his dreams. He felt his heart break more if possible the minute the couple at the alter sealed their union with kiss.
The tears fell and he wished that this day was nothing more but a nightmare. Sadly it was reality when everybody in attendance stood up and began clapping for the newly weds.
Barty couldn't stand being there anymore so without a word he simply apparated back home. If only he could go back in time and stop himself from attending the wedding he would in a heartbeat.
He sighed deeply and accioed a bottle of whiskey before taking a seat on the couch. As he removed the cap and took a drink, he noticed the wedding invitation on his coffee table.
Barty leaned forward to pick it up and glared at the words printed on it. He scoffed as he tossed the invitation aside. He took another sip of his drink and lifted up the bottle as he leaned back against the couch.
"Congratulations, Lucius and Narcissa. May your marriage be a happy one....." He said to himself. He took another swig and smiled sadly "And congrats on today for being the day my heart died" He spoke before breaking down completely.
