Will he come? Will he notice? Will Aaron Sloan witnesses me get married?.

       It's all I can think about I marry Marcus tomorrow I forgave him he swears he won't do it again. He won't hit me because he is nothing like my father Marcus loves me and would never hurt me on purpose he just loses control sometimes.
 
      I hear knocks on the door "Marcus. Door!" I yell I'm looking in the mirror covering up my cut and bruise I have pale skin and green eyes so it's easy to cover things up especially with freckles and I have brown hair it was Aaron's favorite thing about me I was his best friend he always brushed my hair out of the way when I cried he never let me hug him let alone touch him that's what always bothers me I left my best friend before I could even let him feel my touch or feel the warmth of his hug.

       I put all my makeup away then go into the living room it's Lori my maid of honor I give her a hug "Hey" I say "Hey let's go talk" she says we walk to me and Marcus's bedroom "I always thought you would marry Aaron" she says "I know I did too but when I met Marcus just something clicked I guess" I say "I haven't seen you in years whose coming to the wedding" she says "It's very small one brides maid and one maid of honor and one best man and one groomsmen and 25 guest I'm not sure who's coming and who isn't" I say

     "Who'd you invite" she asks "My mom his parents and family and two people who are probably not coming" I say "Who" she says shaking my hands "Fine. Aaron and James" I say "So you invited AARON" she says loud "Shut it" I say "So you are here to tell me that you invite Aaron Sloan to your wedding you're fucking Marcus right now and you invited the first guy you fucked" she says "Who told you that I never even hugged Aaron" I say "Just assumed" she says "Aaron was my best friend I would like him at my wedding" I say I run a hand through my hair

     "I'll see you tomorrow" she says I let go of her hands "Bye" I say. Tomorrow I marry Marcus he may not be the man I dream of but I love him and tomorrow he will be my husband.
