Falling By Chance

Chapter - 15

Sunday. An absolute bliss. The only day I can laze around and channel my inner sloth without feeling guilty about it. But guess what! People are jealous of my comfort. My sleep. I thought I was going to finally get some long due sleep today after running around these past few days, for all the preparations, school, home, back to wedding shopping. To say I was exhausted would be an understatement. If this keeps up, I might not be able to attend the wedding at all, which on an extending note, will lead to my death. Bea will bury me alive. A shudder passes through me at that thought. Facing an angry Bea is like facing the she-devil herself. Yeah I'm taking no chances.

Bea barges into my room at that exact moment looking like a nervous but an excited bunny. Well she literally proved the saying ,‘Think of the devil, and the devil is here..’

It is the day before the big day. This whole wedding thing was a whole gong-show to plan. I'm glad that it will finally be over tomorrow.

“Hey sunshine. What's up?” I ask her, my voice still groggy from my sleep.

“Get up, Roxy. We have lots to do today. I can't believe I'm getting married tomorrow....” She screeches excitedly and I groan and put my pillow over my head to prevent my eardrums from exploding.

She smacks my butt before walking out. As I am falling back to sleep, her yell, “Roxy, don't make me come there and push you off your bed...” makes me sit straight up in the bed. Fucking scary woman. R.I.P. in advance Derek. I'll miss you, brother.

I sigh. Bye bye my sweet, precious bed. I'll miss you a lot. I get up moving sulkily to the bathroom to get ready for the torturous day ahead.

I make my way to the kitchen to see Bea already dressed up and stuffing her face with breakfast. I walk up to her and grab a plate for myself. Oooohhhh chocolate chip waffles. Yum!!

I put a slice in my mouth and moan at the taste. “Bea, these are so goooooddd.” I say with my mouth full.
“Who will make these for me when you move out...” I pout at her.

Now that I think about it, I'll be so lonely without her leaving here by myself. I'm going to miss her so much. She is my rock. My sister from another mother even though she gets on my nerves most of the time.

She chuckles and shakes her head at me, eating her breakfast. Once we finish, we go out the door ready to seize the day. Today last bit of final touches are on the list. Like the checking of decorations, catering, djs, dresses, shoes and makeup. Most of Bea's stuff was already moved to Derek's condo. A little bit is left which will be moved today as we get back home. We run our errands and finally when it's a little past 6 p.m. we come back home. During the day, Jake and I talked a bit as he was busy taking care of his work to keep his schedule free for the next week. That man is over-exerting himself. He told me he'll call me at night and I agreed, focusing on Bea's needs for today.

Bea and I were lounging in the living room watching our one of the favourite movies together, ‘A Cinderella Story’. Spending our last few hours in this apartment together. Abby had something to care of so she couldn't join our bestie session together.

“Do you think I should cancel the wedding.” Bea asks suddenly out of nowhere. I choke on the pepsi I was sipping on, the pepsi flying right out of my nose, and I start to cough loudly. Bea pats my back and hands me some tissues.

“What the hell, Bea!!! Why are you saying that?” I gasp at her words.

“Do you think Derek and I will have a successful marriage? What if, what if he realises that I'm not good enough for him and leaves me at the altar? What will I do then? What if I suddenly find out that I'm pregnant with his child and he wants nothing to do with me or our baby... What am I going to do Rox? Help!!!” She voices out all her worries in one breathe staring into my eyes, her own full of exasperation and worry.
