You Can Forgive But
You Can't Forget

Britney's POV
November 2002
I sit here watching the television literally
in tears. I watch as the man I loved tells the whole world about mine and his relationship. He
says he'll always love me? Then what the hell is he doing right now? My mother
gently puts a hand on my shoulder. He and his mother then come on
"My son cried on my shoulder every
night after their break up. It was horrible" She said
I couldn't help but feel betrayed by
this man. Who said he loves me? When I heard what Lynn had said I immediately
feel my moter tense up
"What nerve" My mother growls. My
brother Brian's face is as red as a tomato at this moment. I scoff at the TV. As
I look at Justin through the TV. I don't see the man I fell in love with. I
fell in love with an open minded, gentle and kind man and now look at him. He's
absolutely evil. If only I could've gone back to that day I found out about
what he had done. I mean he didn't cheat on me or anything but something horrible. And
he's saying I cheated on him? More tears roll down my cheeks. My brother comes
over and holds me. Nothing in my life could get worse right?Wrong.My parents
are filing for divorce. My grandmother just passed away and now I hear my Reebok
deal just blew. What a great fucking life huh?
"Britt it's Kit's Justin's fault he
didn't believe you...I mean he's now telling the whole world about yours and
his relationship, but remember Britt...you're better than that" My mother
whispers to me. She's right. I am.
January 2004
I finish my song on stage at the VMA's. I
see Collin walk up holding something.
"Britney?"He says as he gets down
on one knee. The audience goes silent.
"Yes" I force out
"Will you marry me?" He asks as he
takes out the ring
"Y-y-y-es" I stutter as he slips it
onto my finger. He pulls me into a hug as I whisper I love you. That day
changed my life for ever.
September 2005
"Brit you look beautiful. "My
mother says as she hands me the phone "It's somebody "She whispers while
taking my veil out of its case
"Hello?"I ask. I freeze as I
hear the voice on the other end
"Britney?" I hear Justin say
"Yes"
"Um I was just callin" He says
"For what? "I hiss
"Well I want to know if you could forgive me? For what I did to you 2 1/2
years ago? Just dumped you on the spot?" He says. I can tell he's nervous
"Yes Justin I can forgive you...but
I'm not gonna forget about it. I'm getting married today. To a man who's ready
for a commitment. Unlike you "I whisper hoarsely as I hang up the phone. Immediately
I start to cry. My mother holds me
"You OK?" She asks as she rubs my
back
"Yes" I whisper.
"Alright where's your father?" She
asks as she goes out into the hall
"I'm here I'm here." He mumbles. "Justin's
gonna be there you know that baby?" He asks as he takes my arm behind the rose
garden in Maui
"Yes" I sigh
"Ok lets get my baby married" He
chuckles
I walk down the isle immediately
spotting all of my friends. I see Joey, Lance, Chris, JC Justin. He's been crying. Oh
god why did I do this?
"I now pronounce you man and wife! You
may kiss your bride" The preacher announces. Collin kisses me and we walk down
the isle. Mrs.Britney Pharell? Strange huh?
Justin's POV
I sat there and watched the love of my
life get married. "You may now kiss you bride" Rings through my head. How
could I be so selfish? Let my career get ahead more than Britney?As I sat
there at the reception today she asked me to dance with her. I did. As I
looked into her eyes I could tell she didn't love me like she did 2 1/2 years ago. Neither
did I. I guess she can forgive....but she can't forget
