"Oh my god!" A voice screamed as they shook me. "Li, babe, are you okay?" I mumbled a few incoherent words but they kept shaking me. When I opened my eyes to see you it was, Cho stood in front of me with a frantic look.

I looked around to see where I was and I was still laying in the bathroom floor with my dress hiked up and dried blood crusted on my leg.

"You didn't answer your phone this morning so I called David, and he obviously sent me straight to voicemail. I came over here immediately. What the hell happened?" She asked, now getting a bit jittery.

"Oh- lay night- I- uhm." I pause looking for an excuse. "I got my period and you know how I am with blood and stuff." I nervously chuckle. "I may have just fell, hit my head and passes out. It's really no big deal."

"Where was David during all of this?" She squinted.

"He went out to get some more tampons. I guess he was running a bit late." I answer, hoping she'll believe it.

"I don't believe a word you just said," Cho shook her head. "You've told me that David refused to get you tampons once, I had Shaun get on him." I remember that. It was the first time David ever hit me.

"We're getting you cleaned up and you're coming with me. I'm supposed to meet up with Felicity and Daphne at noon. You're coming with us."

"I- okay, yeah." I say. Cho helps me onto my feet, supporting me as she sits me down in a bathroom chair. She grabs a washcloth and damps it, washing away all of the blood, gently.

"Hey guys, sorry we're late, but I did get Li in the process." Cho says as we enter the dress boutique. We are supposed to be helping Daphne pick out her wedding dress.

"I'm so glad you could make it, Li!!" Daphne squealed as she came over to hug me. Felicity looked equally excited, if not more.

"Just go out on some dresses bitch!" Felicity exclaimed. "I hear once the bride leaves they give us champagne and strawberries." She shooed Daph towards the dress racks and we all sat on the white velvety couch.

"Welcome ladies!" A woman dressed in all black came to greet us. She wore a tight pencil skirt and and a button up blouse, that was tucked in. "I have just met the bride, but one of ten most important assets of the wedding is the bridal party." She smiled. "Who is everyone and how are they connected to the bride?"

"My name is Felicity and I'm just here for the champagne. Now where-"

"It's not even one o'clock yet!" Cho reprimanded her. "Now say it right."

"Fine. Daph and I were best friends since our first year at Hogwarts. She kept more secrets than I can count for me and now I'm doing the same for her."

"I'm Cho, I was one year ahead of Daphne at Hogwarts but I automatically took her under my wing and shaped her into the woman she's become now."

"Hi, I'm Li. Cho actually introduced me to everyone. I studied at Fenghuang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Oh, do you happen to know David Roqueé? I heard he was married to a woman from there. About your age too I suppose."

"I- yeah. He's my husband. We've been married for five years next month. A blessing in disguise actually. But this day isn't about me."

"Yea, this day is about Daph and champagne." Felicity reminds the woman who nods and exits. A short while later she returns with a bowl of fresh strawberries and three empty glasses with a bottle of champagne. She pours the glasses and tries to leave but Felicity stops her. "Leave the bottle, love."

"You have a serious problem." Cho chuckles. After a few minutes, Daphne comes out in the first dress. It was a mermaid sitter lace gown with long sheer leaves.

"I absolutely love the cleavage!" Felicity exclaims, clapping her hands very loudly. But there really was cleavage and her boobs look amazing in it.

"I'm not sure..." Daphne pauses, staring at herself on the mirror. "LeeShaun's mother is going to be there and she really doesn't like me. So this is just really Joe helping whatsoever."

"Fuck his mom!" Felicity shouts as she pours herself yet another glass.

"What you two think?" She asks as she turns to Cho and I. "Should I wear this or be the perfect Christian, pureblood wife?"

"Knowing Shaun, he'd probably prefer this dress but he is a momma's boy. So whatever you feel the most comfortable in." I answer truthfully.

"You look stunning." Cho answers. "Pick the dress that you feel the most beautiful in."

"Boo, you whores!" Felicity must me drunk. That's when the mean girls references come out. Daphne laughs a bit and decides to go back and try on a few more dresses.

She comes out again in an atrocious ball gown. It had frills everywhere. It was a very light shade of purple, and covered her from neck to toe.

"What do you girls think?" Daphne asked cautiously.

"It's the ugliest effing dress I've ever seen!" Felicity cringed.

"It's not the one, bestie." Cho nodded.

"It could be worse." I shrugged.

After hours of dresses, bottles of champagne, and a crying session, Daphne finally found the dress and she looked absolutely stunning in it.

When I get home, David is sitting on the couch, right in front of the T.V. I'm not really sure what he was watching, some Muggle show about a man and a tool box.

When he heard me enter the door, he shot up from the couch and immediately came over and pulled me into a hug.

"I've been worried sick!" He breathed, pulling me into a kiss, where only his lips moved. His kisses weren't magical anymore. They didn't feel like they did when we first got together. He didn't even look at me the same.

"I'm okay."

"Where were you? I about list my mind, tearing the house apart, trying to find you!" He didn't call. Everything is exactly where I put it last time I cleaned.

"I went out with Cho, Felicity, and Daphne so she could pick out a wedding dress. She looked amazing in it too."

"She's still marrying that Nigger?" He gives me a puzzled look. "She's way too pretty for something like that."

"Her and LeeShaun love each other and that's all that counts." I shrug. "They make a perfect couple. The way he looks at her when he thinks no one is watching, the way she laughs at all of his terrible jokes, and even the way that they are just so in sync."

"That just sound like us." David smiles.

"Yeah, us."
