"Maeve," Caroline walked in. It was the day of the wedding and Maddy and Chris were waiting downstairs.
"Could you zip me, Mommy?" Maeve asked.
Caroline nodded walking behind her and zipping her dress.
"Your so beautiful." Caroline cried.
"Mom," Maeve faced her mother with a sympathetic smile.
"Your always gonna be my mom. Nothing dad or his soon to be bride can change that." Maeve said.
"It's not that. It's just- It's just your so grown up. Your going to college next year, you found a perfect boy that treats you like a princess." Caroline said.
"I love you, Mom." Maeve wiped her tears, pulling her into a tight hug.
"I love you more, lovely." Caroline smiled.

The two girls came down the stairs.
"She's ready." Caroline smiled.
Chris and Maddy stood up, watching Maeve make her way over to them.
"Hi." Maeve hugged Chris.
"Hi." Chris muttered back.
"You look handsome." Maeve smiled.
"You look stunning." Chris complimented back.
"Ok. Dad's driver is waiting outside. Let's go." Maddy said.
The couple walked behind Maddy, getting in the car.
"What's wrong?" Maeve asked, placing a hand on Chris's knee.
"I'm nervous. What if your dad's family doesn't like me?" Chris asked.
"It doesn't matter, Chris. I don't wanna be apart of my dad's life. I love you and if they don't, then their missing out on the best human." Maeve said.
Chris smiled at her, holding her hand.
"Your the best thing that ever happened to me, Chris." Maeve smiled.
Chris kissed her when the car pulled up to the church.

After the ceremony, Chris and Maeve sat at the table, talking.
"Hi Maeve." Her father came up to her.
"Hi dad. Beautiful ceremony." Maeve stood up, giving him a hug.
"Thank you, sweetie." He smiled.
"Dad, this is my boyfriend, Chris." Maeve introduced.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yung." Chris smiled.
"You too, Chris. Please, call me Cole. What's your last name?"
"Sturniolo, sir." Chris said.
"Chris Sturniolo. Do you have any siblings, Chris?" Cole asked.
"Yeah, i'm a triplet and i also have an older brother and a dog named Trevor." Chris said.
"What's your brother's names?"
"Matthew, Nicolas, and Justin, sir." Chris answered.
"I think my wife taught your oldest brother, Justin." Cole said.
"Really?" Chris asked.
The two walked away from Maeve, Cole's arm around Chris.
Maeve smiled weakly. She was glad that Chris got along with Chris but she didn't want Chris getting too close to him.
"Excuse me, Maeve?"
"Oh hi Michelle! You looked gorgeous. Congrats." Maeve smiled.
"Thank you so much, beautiful. I know this is hard for you. I just wanted to thank you for coming and supporting Maddy's decision." Michelle said.
"What decision?" Maeve chuckled.
"Oh. she didn't tell you?" Michelle's face dropped.
"Tell me what?" Maeve asked.
"We're moving to Florida next week and Maddy is moving with us. She has a better chance at a better life there. With us." Michelle explained.
Maeve's face dropped. She looked over at Maddy who was laughing with one of Michelle's kids.
"Excuse me, i'm sorry." Maeve walked off, towards the front of the building.

Maeve felt a knot form in her stomach. She was about to get sick. How could Maddy not have told her? Does her mom know? What's gonna happen?
A million thoughts attacked Maeve's mind.
She started shaking and her vision got blurry as tears formed in her eyes.
"Oh my god." Maeve spoke in a shaking voice. Tears started down her face like a water fall.
The feeling of loosing her sister was hitting Maeve like a bus.
"Calm down. Calm down." Maeve told herself. It didn't work.
She sat on the step, placing her head in her lap.
She sat there, sobbing.
"Maeve?" Maeve heard Maddy's voice from behind her. Maeve felt even more sick.
"Mads," Maeve got out.
Maddy ran in front of her, holding her face.
"What's wrong?" Maddy's face was as worried as it could be.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Maeve asked.
"What?"
"About Florida. You cant leave me, Maddy. I need you." Maeve cried, letting herself fall into her sister's arms.
"I'm not leaving you, Maeve. i'm just getting a better life for myself. But i'm never gonna leave you." Maddy said. She was now crying.
"I'm such a mess." Maeve spoke.
"I love you, Maevey. I just need to do this. I need to go." Maddy said.
"You can't. What about mom? What's she gonna do?" Maeve asked.
"She told me to go. I didn't want to but she said i have a better opportunity there." Maddy said.
"How long were you gonna keep this from me?" Maeve asked.
"Not for long. I just found out a week ago and made the decision this morning." Maddy answered.
Maeve cried more. She felt like Maddy was slipping away from her even tho she was in Maddy's arms right now.
"Please stop crying." Maddy pleaded.
After a few more minutes, Maeve got it together. Wiping her tears.

"I need to use the bathroom." Maeve stood up, walking back into the building.
"Where's she going? what's wrong?" Chris walked over.
"She found out i'm moving to Florida." Maddy stood up.
"Oh my god." Chris muttered.
"I feel like i betrayed her." Maddy cried.
Chris walked over, pulling her into a hug.
"No. You didn't. Your doing was right for you and I know Maeve might be upset now but she supports you and loves you." Chris said.
"It doesn't feel like that." Maddy spoke.
"I know. I know." Chris muttered.
The two hugged for a few minutes. Just standing there in silence with a few sniffles from Maddy.

She was grateful for Chris. He was like an older brother to her and non of Maeve's other boyfriends really had a relationship with Maddy. But Chris was always there with open arms and advice to give for both of the Lee sisters. It wasn't just Maeve who loved him. Maddy loved him like a brother.
