The wedding

People had thrown explosive at me, shot me, stabbed me, kicked, punched people have done the most violent things to me. Each time I got back up again and walked into the next fight with my shoulders high. My point is, I don't get nervous and I don't back out.

So why do I feel like running out of here? My hands are shaking at my sides my stomach feeling like it's going to empty any second. I'm standing in front of a mirror, looking beautiful and feeling it. This is meant to be the best day of my life, I'm meant to be happy and exited.

I feel like I'm going to throw up however.

I take a deep breath and slowly release it. Slowly running my hands down my dress feeling the soft material against my hands. I bite my lip looking over my dress with a soft smile, it's slightly off the shoulder with beautiful lace running down my arms and softly going into a pinky white colour and at the bottom is more lace details.

It's beautiful.

There's a soft knock on the door and I turn my head just as I see my brother peeking his head in. My heart hurts looking at him so i turn my head looking back in the mirror.

"Hey." He walks in staying a hood distance from me.

"Hey." I whisper.

Things have been rocky between me and Jake after I found out he slept with my best friend and kept it from me for a year. I wouldn't even if cared that much if they told me what happened, sure I probably would be sad a little angry but I would of got over it. I'm more hurt that they kept it from me.

"I'm glad you let me come here." Jake smiles at me.

"You are my brother." I shrug my shoulders turning away from the mirror and looking at him.

"Come on, Nova. I said I was sorry." Jake walks closer to me and I take a step back.

"I said I needed time, Jake." My voice is quiet, I've lost my fight in this.

Jake sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "It's been three months. Please, just at least tell me you still want me in your life?" I look at him, his eyes pleading with me.

I bite my lip and sighing. "Of course I want you in my life, Jake."

He frowns. "But?"

I fiddle with my fingers. "You kept this from me for a whole year!" I exasperate. "A whole year and you both acted like you did nothing wrong, but you did." I mutter the last part quietly.

"Nova, I never meant to hurt you. It was one stupid summer that I made a stupid mistake."

"Don't say that about Kelly. I may be mad at her but she still deserves respect. She's not a mistake." I shake my head.

I haven't spoken to Kelly either, but our friendship was rocky anyway. I haven't pushed her out of my life completely I've just kept her at a distance.

"I'm sorry." Jake hangs his head low.

I walk up to him and take his hands into mine. "I'm sorry isn't enough sometimes. I just need time." I smile at him weakly.
