It was the year Jason was broke as a joke. I dumped him and took off for Europe to study. Years later, he's a huge movie star, and rumors are swirling about him getting married. In an interview, Jason, looking at no one in particular, says, "If I get married, will you come?" That night, he was trending all over social media. #JasonWeddingPlans #WillYouCome

The day Jason won Best Actor, a reporter asked him about his future plans. Jason smiled, "Marriage." The other celebrities present practically choked on their champagne. The reporter stammered, "Getting married at the peak of your career, won't you regret it?" Jason simply shook his head. Then, looking straight into the camera, he asked, "If I get married, will you come?"
The interview went viral. #JasonToWed #WillYouComeToTheWedding. His fans went nuts. [@JasonAreYouCrazy chasing you for three years and you're a hopeless romantic?!] [@OMG who is she?! Making Jason announce marriage at his peak, he must be head over heels!] [@We slaved over your fan accounts and you're just gonna get married? How could you do this to us?!]
When I saw the trending topics, I knew he was talking to me. Years ago, when we broke up, I'd jokingly asked him, "If you ever get married, will you invite me?" He said yes. I just didn't realize it would be five years later, with him a successful actor.
My high school group chat, usually dormant, exploded with the news. [@Jason's getting married?

Now he's raking in millions, I wonder if she regrets it.] I scrolled through the messages, a wave of nostalgia washing over me. A friend had asked me the same thing when Jason's career first took off. "Jason's got a ton of fangirls now, two years later, I'm still curious, do you regret it?" I'd laughed it off. "No regrets. His future was more important than our relationship."

Mom picked me up from the airport. The arrival hall was packed with fans holding signs with Jason's name. Watching the crowd through the VIP exit, Mom asked, "Did you hear Jason's getting married?" I nodded. She sighed, "Don't blame me, honey. I was just looking out for you. Jason was really struggling back then." I smiled. "Mom, I went to Europe because I wanted to. I've never blamed you."
Suddenly, the fans outside started screaming. "Jason!!!" I turned and locked eyes with a pair of deep, familiar eyes. Even with a mask on, even after five years, I recognized him instantly. He held my gaze for a beat before striding past. "Thanks for coming, everyone. Looks like rain, so head home safe." He accepted letters and signed autographs. "Jason! Is it true about you getting married?" a fan shouted. I heard him reply, "It's true." The fans shrieked. "Who is she? Do we know her?" Jason chuckled, "That's a secret." I stared at his retreating figure, my heart pounding. He was still the same captivating guy. The boy who was once the subject of gossi...
