Sitting in the dressing room while a random lady curled my hair I tapped my fingers. Drumming on my legs as fast as I could. Bianca had already been through hair. She was probably putting on her dress.

I should've been nervous about the wedding. Not about how Zachary is going to be.

The dress I got had straps like I had wanted. Bianca's dress was a long lacy dress with a sweetheart neckline. In which it was probably the prettiest I'd seen.

Her hair, makeup, wedding flowers was everything you'd ever imagine, right down to the adorable flower girl. Yellow ribbons where strung from roof to roof in the small courtyard that held the wedding ceremony.

Bee fluffed my hair and smiled warmly at me. I couldn't help but to beam. My insides where churning though.

We met in a small room where we where paired. Liam was there, he gave me a letter. I decided to tuck it away in my purse.

After Liam, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I took a deep breath and slowly turned around. I closed my eyes and thought that maybe if I couldn't see him. This wouldn't exist.

He didn't change.

He wore a tux, something he shouldn't wear. He looked ridiculous. He had his hair longer, and he wore a yellow tie. I wanted to tackle him to the ground. I wanted to scream at him for everything. But his smile made my knees go weak and my voice cease to exist.

His eyes became doughy. Shouldn't I be focused on somebody else. Maybe Bianca the bride should be my main concern. But he said something that made me wrap my arms around him and started to inhale the moment.

" I'm sorry Stacy. "

He hugged back harder, nobody noticed, nobody even had the slightest idea to what was happening.

The music started to play, the rustle of anxious people erupted as the doors opened and we commenced. Arm in arm Zach walked me. I looked at all the faces, eyeing and spotting to which families where which.

Mitchell's family was chock full of blondes. And a dog.

Bianca's was full of tall variating brunettes. Unfortunately for her younger family members, they couldn't see.

In taking my place I was sat next to Yammy and Tiff, spotting Bed all the way in the back with her father, he looked like her down to the pure look of happiness in their eyes. I suddenly looked to Mitchell, he looked unusually dapper.

His fluffy hair was gone. It was cut, trimmed to look similar to Zachary's. His tux was black, he wore a pink tie and a bright smile. Tears streamed down his pale cheeks as bed made her way twords him, teary eyes to match.

As she arrived the love between the two made me want to close my eyes to absorb it.

The ceremony was short and sweet making me believe that they prefer a party rather than some slow formal event.

We had to take pictures before we had arrived at the reception, in which I had no time to confront Zachary.

" What should our entrance be Stace? " He pressed.

" Hm. Maybe you could be a fish. I'll fish you like how the 80's people did. " I suggest, as we got in line.

Going in I fished out to him, he flopped and flailed, making the crowd laugh and giggle at us. We had quickly found our seat at the bridal table. Looking to Bee and Mitchell as he had got on his knees and pretended to be a flower with his hands on his face.

Bee came around with her flowers behind her, resting on her butt as she ran around and stung Mitch. He suddenly bounced up and picked Bianca up, running off to the bridal table.

After the formal dinner I found myself on the outer deck of the hall, I had abandoned everyone inside as they started the music. Making sure nobody had been looking I ran around the corner to hide. Maybe to box the awkwardness inside the stuffy room.

A girl, roughly 14 with long ashy brown hair sat perched on the rail, she was wearing a short deep purple dress, and she looked to me wide eyed before getting down and dusting her dress.

" Hey. Sorry. I'm Brandy. " She greeted, peering around my shoulder.

" Stacy, " I shook her hand, " Why are you out here may I ask? "

The girl sighed, " Bee is my sister. I've seen you at the bachelorette party, you where in Maddie's group. "

" I decided to get air. Get away from them. My mom is more focused on Bianca than she's ever been. Because Bianca decided that having a wedding, on my birthday. Was a terrific idea. " Again she stared at the ground, " She forgot. "

She grimaced, " Bee didn't even add me to her wedding party. She just looked at me and rolled her eyes when I asked. She said to smile and look pretty and to every dress I picked out she groaned is distaste. "

Woah.

" Trust me. I'm an writer trying to survive to write a story that my boss sent me to Ontario for. I met Zach here, I learned almost everything about him and started to enjoy it here. I had a boyfriend. " My stomach lurched at the thought of Parker. Lord his hurt face hit me harder.

Boyfriend? That word had left my lips as soon as it became stored in my dictionary. His kisses where like heaven and when he guided his hands around me I felt safe. But a boyfriend doesn't last forever.

" You know when Zach buys you a dog, the dog bites your boyfriend and he wants to take it to the pound. So he accuses you of only keeping you because of... Zach... He accuses you of kissing Zachary... And I did. " I sucked in my lip.

Brandy was in awe, leaning back on the wall as I had decided too continue.

" So. I cut all ties with the both of them, spent a few days isolated, my career and story ruined. Finally going out to buy things when forced to go out with Bee, then finding out Zach has some.. Stupid terrible sickness in which I'll never get to hear his voice... I don't want his words to cease to exist! " I was practically shaking.

What would some little girl know.

Looking to the forest spread out beyond the deck, she spoke. " Shit. That's way more heavy than a forgotten birthday. You need to smack Zach. Ass hat, then you need to kiss him and never stop until you feel you've absorbed his voice. So you don't have to lose it. What would I know, I'm only 15 though. "

" Brandy. You're right. You're fifteen. You've got a ton of other things to do, don't let this hold you down. Bee is lovestruck, you'll see it one day. I know it. " I grab her shoulders, bringing her into a hug, " Thank you. I got to vent all that out. You're one cool girl. "

I grinned and rushed inside, Bee was still at her table when I walked by, I bit my lip in frustration and decided to be the best person.

" Bianca. It's Brandy's birthday. She's upset you set your wedding on her birthday. She's mad because your mother told her it was your day and they'd celebrate it later. You forgot and she's sad that her b day doesn't matter. " I rush out before I push through people to see Zach.

I called out his name forcefully and quickly caught his attention.

I grab his collar and drag him out of the hall, and into a dimly lit hall across from Bee's, nobody was using this side thank the lord.

I slapped him across his mug, making him stumble back before I grabbed his face and pressed my lips against him, tears streaking my face when he brought his hands to my hair and began to grip it like life support.

I could feel myself fall into his chest, all those days of solitude, all those white things he brought to my house, all the stupid secrets made me want his hands to use his thumb and wipe away my salty water that fell from my eyes. His pulse was running through me.

Pulling away I slapped him again.

" Bastard. " I breathlessly said before I could find my mouth on his again. The sudden thought of his stupid lies making me stop and the urge to hit again.

I started to wail, " Why didn't you tell me! "

The shock on his face made me want to hit him even harder. The idiot doesn't even know!?

" You didn't tell me. I'd never hear your voice again. "
