T W E N T Y - F O U R

I tossed and turned to the sound of yelling coming from down the hall. Why the hell does everyone feel the need to scream at 7 in the morning?

Rolling out of bed, the cold air nipped at my skin. Winter is such a beautiful thing but cold mornings make me want to go back in bed.

I put on my robe and made my way to the giant kitchen filled with people and house elves.

"Holy shit." That is a lot of people.

About a hundred people scattered through the backyard, some setting up chairs and others making sure the flowers were placed just right.

I felt a hand fall the the small of my back which startled me.

"Good morning." Ace said looking down at me with a  yawn.

I gave him a death stare and turned my head away. He chuckled at my actions but didn't move.

"Perché mi sta ancora toccando?" I mumble annoyed.
Translation: Why is he still touching me?

"Oggi ci sposiamo, te ne sei dimenticato?" He reply's sarcastically.
Translation: We are getting married today, have you forgotten?

My eyes grew wide. How does he know Italian?

"How?" I ask stunned.

"I'm part Italian darling. Don't fool yourself."

I started to walk away from him and grabbed a piece of toast. Humming in response to the wonderful taste, Ace does the same.

Rolling my eyes, I spotted my mom outside giving orders. Laughing to myself I slipped on some of my shoes and made my way outside.

"Torturing these people are we now?" I question.

She sighs. "They keep putting things in the wrong places."

"Maybe just butt out a little bit. You are probably not helping either since your a control freak." I mention.

Getting all annoyed with me, she tells me to go away and start getting ready. "Bitch."

Once I got to my room, Pansy sat on my bed dressed in a long black dress with heels on, makeup done, and hair straightened.

I quickly ran over and gave her a hug.

"Don't even leave me for a week! Merlin, you left me with idiots Pansy!" I wine while squeezing her tight.

"Fuck Aspen, I can't breath!" She says giggling.

"Sorry," I let go of her, "I have a lot to catch you up on."

She gave me a mischievous smirk. "Tell me everything."

"Ok. So first off, Draco and I are like seeing each other if that makes sense. But like I'm not making it official cause I don't know if I really want to be with him. I slept with Mattheo, my mom-" Pansy cut me off with a gasp.

"YOU SLEPT WITH MATTHEO? You dirty bitch." She yells.

I slapped her arm and a look. "Shush, no one knows. Anyways, my mom is being a bitch and I don't know what to do about Draco."
