Edward and I got into the Audi A8. My baby "Are you going to drive?" Edward asked me with his eyebrows on hair line. "Yup. I am fine don't worry!" I got really excited. It's been ages since I have driven this car. This is the first ever car I ever bought. I am bit worried about going to the same house though. I really don't know what to think or what to do? Another thing is what is if Alan is mad at me for leaving without saying goodbye? What if- "Hope can I drive?" I heard my boyfriend say. "Why?" I asked him. "You are shaking" after that he told me. I noticed I was literally shaking but I was 2 blocks away from the house. So I just shrugged it off and drove. I get into the driveway and waited. "This is it?" He asked me. "It should be unless they changed the address." I took my phone out and called him. "Hey Me-Hope!" Ian beamed in the phone "Hey Ian" I told him keeping my voice monotonous. "Are you here?" I got out my car and got hold of Edward and went to the door. "You didn't change the address, did you?" I asked him. Meanwhile Edward took my med bag and held my hands, drew soothing circles in my hand in the hope of calming me down. "No why?" He asked me. "Then I am o-outside the door" he hung the phone immediately. Edward looked at me. "Try to be calm for me please" he pleaded me and nodded at him. He pulled me closer his big hands on my small back. After two seconds which felt like years the door opened. "Hope?" Ian's eyes were glossy and brimming with tears. "Hey Ian" he pulled me into a tight hug which I missed so much. I tried really hard not to cry because I will loose my control on my emotions. "I missed you so much!" His voice cracked. "I know me too" I pulled away from him. "Come on let's go inside" we went inside. "Soo...um this is my boyfriend Edward and Edward this Ian my uncle" I introduced him. "Hi Edward" they shakes their hands and greeting each other and I felt dizzy. That was the indication that I missed my timing for the infusion. "Um... Ian when is the wedding?" I asked him. "In 4 hours!" He beamed. "Oh and Hope Maya said she wanted to see you three hours before the wedding. It would be great if you go to the place now." He said to me. "Maya? Why though she doesn't know me at all" I wondered. "You will be surprised" "Okay then I will be get going" I turned to Edward. "Will you be okay alone I know you missed your infusion time?" "I will be fine I will hook myself when I get there I don't want to faint at the wedding." I told him. "Okay then I will drive you" he took the keys from my hands. "What no! Then you have to drive hear all the way back here. I am capable of driving myself thank you!" I reached for the keys but he wouldn't give to me. "Hope I wasn't asking you I know your dizzy already I don't want you to crash come on!" I rolled my eyes at him. "Ian I will drop her and I will come back her okay?" He informed to my uncle. He nodded at him. Edward took my med bag and my duffel bag placed it in trunk. I sat in the passenger seat. Edward gave me a long lecture how to keep calm and not to worry about anything. The drive was only 10mins. "Hope keep calm and don't worry take your infusion. I will be there with you in a few hours okay?" He told me. "Jeez calm down I will be fine.bye" "Bye Hope" he gave me a peck and I got out of the car with my bags and went into the hotel. "Um hey do you know where the brides room is?" I asked the receptionist. "The room number is 156." She told me with a monotone voice. I searched the room number and stood in front of the door. I was physically shaking. And finally after a long 1 minute I knocked on the door. Someone opened the door. "Is Maya in here?" I asked her. "Um...Ya and you are?" "My name is Hope Laughlin" "Who?" "Does the name um... Melody ring a bell?" I asked her. "Oh ya come inside Maya sis waiting" I went inside and lost balance. Shit I really have to take my infusion as fast as possible. I saw girl in a robe which has "bride to be" embroidered at the back. "Um....hi" I said as I awkwardly stood there. I have no clue who these people are and it is giving me a anxiety. "Oh you must be Melody O'Hagen" She gave her hand for a handshake. I took it. "Please call me Hope" I announced. "You changed your name didn't you" she took my duffle bag from me. "Um Ya, I had to..." She lead me to a different room and closed the door. "You can take your infusion here, Hope" she announced. "Oh uhhh" "Edward called a few minutes ago and told that you had to take it." "Oh okay" I was still really confused. "Don't worry I wanted to take something important. Can you while you taking the meds or?" "Ya I can. Your not afraid of needles are you?" I had to make sure she won't faint three hours before her wedding. She was really beautiful she had her makeup done. I took my infusion and sat down on the bed she sat on the chair. "So um I know it kind off short notice but I want you to be my maid of honour." She told me with a lot of hesitation. "Are joking or I am hearing things" I let out a dry chuckle. Now I am more confused. "I am not. I was really scared if you would come or not actually. But really yes I want you to be my maid of honour. " "But why?" I asked her while I was loosing my mind. "I know you don't know a lot about me but I know you very well. Ever since I and Alan got engaged. He would always be telling how much he loves you and how important you are. He once told me that he decided that you must be the important one in the wedding when he started dating me. Even though he had no clue where you were he always talked about you. He showed me pictures a lot of pictures. The pictures of you were all over his room. The first time I went to his room and saw all the pictures I thought he had already a wife. To be honest I was really jealous of you then I understood how important and what happened. The moment I search for you all over the but I found nothing absolutely nothing but then I got hold one of your classmates he said that you were also called as Hope so I went and searched in that name then I finally got hold of your phone number but I couldn't call because I know you would freak out. So I told Ian to call and here you are" she waved her hand. "He talks about me?" I asked her. "Talks? Please he has never talked a sentence without your name." "Now I feel kind a guilty." I looked at my hands. "It's okay he understood in what situation you were in. If I were you I don't know what I would do" he amused. "Come on I already have your dress ready!" She stood up and clapped her hands together. I laughed at her then I took out the needle and went with her. She pulled out a beautiful long sleeved dress.

"Not to offend you but I thought you would need to cover those tubes and stuff." She scratched her neck. "Thank you so much. Maya I never thought you would think so high of me or even he would talk about me." I hugged her tightly. A few tears escaped my eyes. "It's okay!" I went with my dress and my duffel bag. And got a call......
