Living Not Dreaming [Suite Life on Deck]

19 - The Wedding

Jack missed out in what happened shortly after he left Zack and Marcus's room.

From what Evan told him, something happened between Esteban's mother and Francesca that lead to the two running to Esteban and the wedding getting called off.

"This is horrible," Jack said. 

"I know," Evan agreed as the two headed to the Sky Deck.

The two joined Esteban and Bailey at the smoothie bar  

Zack was working that shift.

Esteban was sitting at the smoothie bar, devastated. He loved Francesca and wanted to marry but now, it's not going to happen.

"I have lost the most beautiful girl in the world," he said, sadly. 

"I'm right here," London said as she walked past him, Jack and Evan.

"I meant Francesca!" Esteban called after her. "What am I going to do about my mother?"

"What your m other needs is to find something in her life that gives her joy besides you," Bailey said.

"She has a point," Jack agreed. "She needs a hobby."

Evan nodded.

"Stop volunteering me to help people!" London said as she walked past them again.

"Thank you, guys," Esteban said, gratefully.

"Anytime, buddy," Evan patting Esteban on his shoulder. 

"In the meantime," Esteban stood up, "I will go to my Francesca and beg for her forgiveness."

Jack, Evan and Bailey stood up as well and Zack walked out from behind the counter and over to them

"I will fall to my knees," Esteban said, dramatically. "I will crawl. I will grovel."

"It's like you're already married," Zack said.

Jack rolled his eyes.

Jack, Evan and Zack followed Esteban to Francesca's room.

Esteban took a deep breath as he prepared to beg for Francesca's forgiveness.

"Good luck, buddy," Jack said, encouragingly.

"You've got this!" Evan added.

Esteban nodded and knocked on the door.

"Francesca," he Riad.

"Go away!"

"Well, we tried," Zack gave up."Women."

He began to walk away.

Esteban tried to stop him.

"Oh, let him go, Esteban," Evan said. "He'll be no help."

Esteban let him go.
