tate's pov:

"tate get ready!" my mom shouted at me as she threw the covers off of me. "get up. you cant spend all day in bed."

i groan as i check the time. it was only 10:27 and the wedding isn't until 3:00.

christian's parents are getting married today. i'm so excited for them. they are basically my parents and christian is my brother since i've grown up with them all my life.

i sat up and rubbed my eyes. i figured since i was demanded to get ready, i would go over to christian's early to spend time with him. i haven't seen him in a while since he's been in LA for almost a year. i've missed him.

i got changed, brushed my teeth and hair, and did my makeup. i put the dress i was wearing for the wedding in a bag so i didn't have to sit in it for hours.

"mom i'm going over to christian's now." i said grabbing my keys.

"already? have you texted him?"

"no. i thought i would let it be a surprise." i smiled.

"alright. i'll be there around 3:00. have fun."

"bye mom."

i got into the car and pulled out of the driveway. i drove faster than usual because i wanted to see christian as soon as possible.

after about ten minutes i pulled into his driveway. only his car was here. i got out of my car and walked to the front door.

i knocked on the door and waited for christian to open it. after a few seconds the door opened and there was christian. his face lit up as he picked me up and span me around.

"i've missed you so much tate." he placed me back on my feet.

i smiled. "i've missed you so much."

we sat on his couch catching up on our lives.

"so how's the band doing." i always ask christian this every time i see him because i know how much he loves talking about it.

"we are doing amazing. we are actually wrapping up on an album right now."

"ouu what's it called?"

he bit his lip trying to hold back his laugh. "don't laugh okay? it's called chase atlantic."

chase atlantic. their band name. how typical.

i smile instead of laugh. "cant go wrong with basic." i tease him. "i'm excited to listen to it."

he brings me in for a quick hug letting me know he's glad i'm here.

"now kras, i have to ask you." i pause as he looks at me confused. "is mitchel going to be here?"

he sighs. "if i'm being honest, i don't know. he said he might come here but i doubt it. if he does i'll make sure he stays away from you."

"thank you." i say as he smiles and nods.

i was not excited for mitchel possibly being there. especially after how we left things with each other. if miracles exist, i pray i'm given one tonight.

———

it's a little over 3:00 now and people are starting to show up. i already said hello to christian's parents and my mom.

i grab my bag that had my dress in it from the car and head to the bathroom. i get changed into a short tight black dress with white heels, and touch up my makeup a little.
