Stayin' Alive

Goodbye

The following day when I woke Maurice had his arms wrapped tightly and protectively around me. I rolled over and looked at my alarm which also told me the date. It was the date in which I was meant to be having my bachelorette party. At that moment the door bell rang. I leapt from the bed, accidentally waking Maurice, and ran downstairs. I opened the door to see my mum.

"You are coming with us" she said taking my hand

She began pulling me from the house as Maurice ran down the stairs.

"MAURICE" I screamed out trying to reach for him, tears streaming down my cheeks

Maurice tried running for me, his hand just grazing mine. My mum shoved me in a waiting car before driving off. She locked us in so I couldn't escape, but why would I want to?

"I love Maurice. Why are you doing this to me?" I asked

To no surprise I got no reply. We pulled up outside my parents's house where she pulled me inside. It was designed for a party and all my mums female friends were there. I just missed Maurice, Barry and Robin. I have never missed them so much in my life as I did at that moment in time.

Maurices POV:

As the door shut tears began falling down my cheeks. I dropped to my knees as Barry and Robin came over.

"Mo what happened?" Robin asked placing his hand on my shoulder

"She's gone. She's getting married soon" I sobbed a reply hugging Robin round the knees

Robin petted my head not knowing what else to do. This was the most heart breaking thing I've ever gone through.

"We need to stop it" Barry said pulling Robin into the living room

I sat in the hallway on my knees crying, hugging myself as she wouldn't. I can't let her marry him, I love her too much.

Rosalinds pov:

The party was too much. All of my mums friends were too kind to me. Non of which knew the situation I was in.

"Jerry's a lucky man to have you" one said to me

"I bet you have a wonderful family" another said

"You will have a lovely life with Jerry" someone else told me

If only they knew. I just wished the brothers could do something to stop it. If only I knew where the wedding was taking place.

"Have a drink" my mum insisted thrusting a glass of champagne in my direction

I took it but didn't drink it. I didn't drink all together. I took a seat in the corner watching all the woman dance. I felt so alone. I just wished I could be in Maurices arms watching tv or listening to records. I wanted him to whisk me away. I had to get through this. The thought of Maurice being the groom kept me going. I felt like no one cared for me, and that's why I had to marry Jerry.

"Honey come and join us" my mum tried to pull me up

"No thank you. I don't feel like dancing. I'm quite tired actually" I replied

My mum left me alone, finally. Then her best friend, Julia, came to join me.

"I was once in your situation. I loved someone dearly but had to marry my husband. Never loved him, he abuses me to this day. I was at a party just like this one knowing no one knew my situation" she explained

I turned to her, glad someone finally understood my situation. Then I realised it wasn't Julia at all, it was Barbra Gibb. How did she sneak in?

"I don't want to get married" I moaned

"Don't worry, you won't" she said before walking off

She turned and winked at me. I knew she had something planned but what?
