"You lack attention, I find it obvious, she makes it obvious for me." the song blasted through the speakers of Cass's car. Her phone was at home. "Bother me, tell me awful things" she mumbled, reciting the song.

She parked the car, slamming the door shut after she stepped out of the car. Stepping into the hospital she asked, "hello, I'm here for a psychological evaluation" "Name?" "Cassandra Monica Gallagher" "Mhm." the woman said knowingly.

"Fill this out, you here for a long one or a short one?" "as short as possible, in two days my wedding is beginning." "aha." the lady typed something in as she handed Cass the fill-out sheet.

As she sat down, she looked at the clock, she had been driving 30 minutes, half of that she drove in a circle. So she filled out she sheet, another 30 minutes went by.

As she gave the board to the receptionist who told her to sit back down, the doors burst open, to see a relived Luke standing there "Cass, you had me worried- I tried to follow your car but you drove in a circle for like- what, 20 minutes? And then I lost you and then it clicked-" Cass simply patted the seat beside her. He sat down beside her, putting his hand in hers.

"What would you do if there is something wrong with me?" "Continue to love you and marry you?" He told her, not sure what she was hinting at.

"Cassandra Gallagher!" and then luke did the unexpected, he pressed a kiss to her lips, as she stood up, she smiled at him, walking towards the lady who showed her to a room and sat her down on a chair.

"So, Cassandra, I see you're 19? What you here for?" the woman asked as she sat down in front of her "You know that, I wrote it down." the silence was enough for her to answer "Psychological Evaluation." "right, any previous mental health issues in your family?" Cass nodded

"Mothers Bipolar, my older brother found out 3 years ago that he's bipolar too." "interesting" The lady wrote something down "something else?" "no, nothing." Cass was starting to get irritated.

"Anything happened that... Might have triggered you to go here?" "fought with my sister." it was silent.

"Well what was it about Cassandra?" Cass bit her lip until it started bleeding, "Can you- Can you stop calling me that?" "but that's your name-" "I know! Just- don't use it so much, thank you.." she took a deep breath "Me and my sister fought because I'm moving out and marrying my boyfriend I met only a month ago because he's a marine and- and then she started saying these things about how- how my boyfriend- fiancee will die in Iraq and uh-" Cass's face turned red in rage "I- I wanted to run away the most time when I was a teenager because of shit like this, every little thing I get blamed for, me finding out I have diabetes type one? Oh it's your fault, Me and my brother stealing a child and running away? My fault, everything is my fault" her finger nails pressed into the palm of her hand leaving marks.

The lady wrote something down "when is your wedding?" "two days, why? Want an invitation?" Cass asked mockingly, she didn't know what was wrong with her, it was like everything from the last year's was beginning to pour out of her.

"Uh, and how often did you do stuff like the baby stealing?" "10 times a year why?" "I think we're done Cassandra." "mhm" Cass stood up, leaving the room as the Lady told her to.

The lady talked to the receptionist, who nodded and printed out a paper. As soon as Cass wanted to go to Luke she was called again. "Your psychological evaluation.. Maam" "thanks." and without looking at the paper she looked at him, he was already standing, waiting for her.

"And?" "can't dare to look" she mumbled, gripping his hand in hers, "we'll separately drive home alright? Open it in the car. You have enough time there." he kissed her temple one last time before getting in his car. She did the same

She looked down at the paper.

She let out a breath "Cassandra Gallagher. No Mental illnesses."

And so she drove back to her new home. Happy.

As she parked the car she excited the car happily, pressing a kiss to Luke's lips. As he stood there waiting for her.

"I'm ready to get married baby!" She yelled throwing her hands in the air.

-

"I am so not ready!" Cass's breath was starting to get quicker and quicker, usually she would be at the Gallagher house right now but Cassie was her maid of honor, she couldn't, "Love, love look, 1, 2, 1,2" Cassie repeated in a rhythm and Cass breathed along.

"I can't marry, I can't!" "but why! He's a great guy cass, I'm counting on you naming a child in my honor!" "Cassie- no, fiona isn't here-" "get in the car" Cassie told the girl with the white dress

"What?" "get in the car" Cass simply listened, and as she realised where Cassie was driving her she shook her head "they'll all see me!" "And? They grew up with you, you need your family right now!" Cassie parked the car and stepped out, rushing to open the door for Cass, who seemed to be having a mental breakdown, she stepped out, her eyes glossy. Cassie gripped her hand tightly, walking toward her home, knocking on the door loudly, "Yeah-" Ian was speechless, "who's there?!" A yell came from upstairs.

Ian snapped out of his trance and whistled "Damn! Who knew my little sister would look so good in a wedding dress!" she laughed, hugging him tightly.

He lead the two inside "GALLAGHERS ASSEMBLEEEEEE" Ian yelled, alright, definitely too much coffee.

The others rushed down the stairs, the first one stopping being Lip, then Debbie who walked against his back, Carl who didn't even move one foot off the first step, and Liam, Carl pushed past everyone and ran to his sister, knocking both down with a hug.

The others started laughing as they laid there hugging, and Carl helping cass up, Liam coming up to her and Franny right behind him "you guys ready to be my unofficial flower kids?" "yea!"

"Wow, I come back and suddenly my little sister is getting married, and the house is spotlessly clean, what happened?!"

Cass didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry, so she did both. Understandably. Fiona was there, her Fiona.
