Never Him. Always Him.

"it's today?" I nodded as Austin had his arms around me. "When?" "In two hours" Austin put his forehead on mine "I'm never letting you go" "I don't want to go" Austin connected his lips with mine in a slow passionate kiss before it turned to need and a want for me to stay. Saying goodbye, I put my head down and walked away. 'i don't want to leave him. He makes me happy. I have used every spare moment to see him and spend time with him. "JADEE WAIT" stopping, I turned to looked at Austin as he ran my way and crashed his lips on mine. Immediately parting, he held me tight. One hand on my lower back and one behind my neck.

Arriving at home, when I walked in, my mother grabbed my arm. "So much.." "REMOVE YOUR FILTHY HAND OFF OF ME BEFORE I SLAM YOU THROUGH THE WALL" my mother immediately let go. "You have your engagement. You are to be ready" "FUCK OFF" entering my room, I slammed the door. 'no fucking way am I wearing that piece of shit white dress. Gross. Grabbing my deep blue one shoulder dress, I put it on and then my flats. 'thats fucking ugly as sin' I'm not doing my hair or makeup. I don't want that shit on me' when my door opened, I glared at my mother as she spoke "YOU ARE TO WEAR WHITE" grabbing the dress, I ripped it up and threw it at her. "NO" "YOU ARE A SPOILT.." picking up the chair, mom rushed out with the dress in her arms. 'im not wearing that shit. Oh my phone' putting my phone in my dress, I took a deep breath. 'great a fucking engagement, I want no part in'.

"Jadee.. that is not..just get in the car" not saying a word, I walked out and slammed the door in my fathers face. 'this is fucked up. All of it' seeing my sister looking prissy in a cream dress, I rolled my eyes "mom said you were wearing white" "Im not fucking wearing white and definitely not that ugly fucking thing she purchased" Britney put her head down "they are marrying me off too. To jack" "yeah I heard". When mom and dad walked out, they looked at both of us. "get in the car" rolling my eyes, I got in and slammed the door.

Arriving at the venue, I looked at the place with no interest. 'of course its posh. Fuck this shit' "let's go inside. Best behaviour" "wheres Gregory?" Mom got out and I smirked "slag" exiting the car, I looked around "the entrance is this way. Why is your hair and makeup.." "no" "jadee" "NO" "inside" walking inside I rolled my eyes. "This is gross" "you had a chance.." "fuck up hag" "I said.." "I don't care what you have to say" mom turned her eyes and walked ahead. "Oh Abella it's so lovely to see you" "and you too Dahlia. You have done a magnificent job" "thank you" when Dahlia looked my way, I watched as her chest raised. Without acknowledging anyone, I walked to the drinks table and grabbed a beer before sitting down away from everyone.

Peter.

'this is not a good start. Jadee is drinking and beer of all things. She hasn't spoken to anyone and has a vacant look on her face' approaching her table, I sat down. "Jadee it's best.." "for who?" "You.." "no" "it's time you grow up" "good I will leave. I don't care. I'd rather be homeless" I shook my head "homeless. That's not something I ever want for you" "you don't care what I want" "I do care.." "hi jadee. You look beautiful" jadee looked at Kent "hi" seeing her scull her beer, I took a deep breath "Peter has everything been arranged for the wedding?" "It has. The honeymoon as well" "I'm not going on any honey moon" "its traditional" "traditional? Marrying the love of your life is.." "jadee he can make you happy" "no. There won't be any romance, no contact at all" I took a deep breath as jadee stood up and walked back to the drinks table. "No honeymoon?" "They can go. It's a week. It may help them".

Jadee.

'a week. Oh fuck no' spending hours drinking and avoiding all conversations, someone tapped their glass. Seeing Dahlia, I moved to the back as I held two beers.
"Welcome everyone. It's such a beautiful night and we are so thankful to have all of you here to congratulate Matthew and jadee on their engagement" feeling my phone, I grabbed it out as Dahlia kept speaking. Ignoring her, I answered the call. "Hey" "hey how was it?" "Still here. Sinking drink after drink" "that good?" "It's awful. Fancy venue, ugly decorations, posh pricks everywhere. Oh supposedly I'm going on a week's honeymoon" "what?" "Yep. They can shove that up their fucking ass. I want nothing to do with it" "I know. I want you here. Marry me?" I grinned "marry you?" "I wish. I'd keep you forever. The room, kitchen, room, out doors, room.." I chuckled "sounds exciting" "JADEE" I looked at my mother with hatred "get off of the phone" "piss off" "don't cause a scene" "I'm busy" "give me those drinks" "I will make you wear them if you try" my mother stepped closer "you have been called to the stage" "yippee. Time to fuck shit up" "no you won't" "damn right I will" Austin laughed through the phone "hang it up" "I will call you back scrumptious" Austin laughed as I hung up. "Give me that phone" "no. Fuck off" walking to the stage, I groaned as Matthew stood with a smile on his face "my beautiful fiance" moving away, I kept my eyes away from everyone. "In two weeks jadee and Matthew will share a wonderful ceremony. Then be on their way to Hawaii" I rolled my eyes "for a week. Please congratulate both on their future endeavours" hearing the crowd, I sculled my beer and Matthew grinned "it will be.." I looked at Matthew and he immediately stopped talking. "why not show how much you love each other.." stepping off the stage, my dad glared at me "with a dance" I glared at Dahlia "I said no" Dahlia immediately put her head down "jadee" when my father grabbed my arm, I looked into his eyes. "I said no. I already told you how this will work and if you think a week in Hawaii is going to change anything, you have another thing coming. It's a waste of my time and your damn money" ripping my arm from his hand I walked out of the venue and bolted down the road. Calling Austin back, he answered almost instantly. "Didn't take long" "how about you two show how much you love each other with a dance. Pfft" Austin chuckled "can he dance our way?" "Stiff as a fucking board. Even then I don't want him touching me" "JADEE" looking at my father as he slammed the car door shut, I spoke "what?" "YOU CAN GET BACK THERE AND DO WHATS NEEDED" "YOU CAN GO TO FUCKING HELL. I DONT.." My father swung two punches at my face "GET BACK THERE" "I WILL HAVE YOU FUCKING CHARGED. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME. I ALREADY TOLD YOU, I DONT LIKE THE BORING CRAP. I WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO TOUCH ME. THIS IS MY BODY AND I HAVE RIGHTS. YOU CAN GO BACK THERE AND TELL THAT FAMILY THAT THE SHIT THEY ARE TRYING DOESNT WORK WITH ME. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. YOU HAVE GONE WAY TOO FAR. YOU AND THAT CHEATING SLUT" tasting blood, I ran my tongue over my lip "FUCK YOU. YOU ARE JUST LIKE HER. I ONCE FUCKING RESPECTED YOU BUT NOW.. I DESPISE YOU" wiping my face, my dad put his head down and I walked away. "Jadee all I want.." continuing to walk away, I stayed silent until dad was out of ear shot.
"JADEE" "yeah I am here. I'm sorry.." "he hit you?" "Twice. My fucking lip and eye brow are bleeding" "can you get here?" "Yes" "run".
Running downtown and up to austins window, he immediately jumped out. "jad.. come on" Austin pulled me in through his window and looked over my face. "Let's get that cleaned up. You seriously went like that?" "Yeah I ripped the stupid white dress up and threw it at my mother's head.." "jadee. Oh dear. Who hit you?" "My father" "come on gorgeous. This is not okay".

Peter.

'i hit my daughter twice. I punched her. She was bleeding when she left. What she said hurt. All I want is to see her succeed. With Matthew by her side, she can do that. He's a gentleman. I don't know what to say to everyone when I get back. I know jadee won't return. She hasn't been happy all night'.
