Ophelia and Rich had agreed to get married outside of Bristol, not wanting to be local and having snooping adults reporting back to their parents what was going on. Ophelia just hoped to god that Alo actually knew where he was going. The couple's hands didn't unlink for one second while in that van, even as the teens in the back made up a song about the soon to be married couple.
Something about Rich being a dick and Ophelia being fit.
Ophelia was doing last minute stressing, making sure everything was actually sorted and her dream day wouldn't be messed up in any way. Suddenly, Alo pulled out a ripped up cereal box and Ophelia started panicking.
"what's that?!" Ophelia commented
"Dewy did it himself" Rich grabbed the cardboard off the red head
"what! when everyone thought the earth was still flat"
"Alo you do know how to get there dont you" Ophelia asked, her grip on Rich's hand getting tighter. The boy let out a quiet yelp as her nails dug into the back of his hand.
"yeah, all sorted. Turn right here and we'll be there in no time"
They were definitely not there in no time. Alo turned down a gravel road, that should have been the first red flag however the boy kept going. He kept going all the way until they hit a tree lined road, red flag number two. It ended up as a dead end, the van surrounded by trees as the road was blocked with a metal gate. Alo was adamant he could get around it. And just as he turned to swerve the gate, he ran over some rocks and ended up crashing.
Alo tried to restart the van however the engine started spluttering and it started smoking. The group ended up piling out of the van, Ophelia holding her dress up around her knees so it didn't drag along the dirt. Everyone, minus Ophelia who was pacing back and forth, was trying to get reception. No one could so instead Alo started attempting (key word; attempting) to fix up the van
Nick came out of the back of the van with an air horn and a radio that was blasting music. Liv and Matty both high on coke. Ophelia only started getting pissed off when Frankie also snorted some of the coke and started dancing around with Nick. Quickly, the girl turned off the music and stormed over to the dancing pair, pulling the air horn out of Nicks hands.
"This isn't the fucking reception" Ophelia exclaimed
"guys, shes dead" Alo groaned, holding a piece of the van in his hand
"what do you mean by dead Alo" Ophelia also groaned. The day was going from good to bad to worse.
"you can fix it right?" Mini asked
"look, its... its a freaking angel!" Nick pointed "oh... no its a car"
The group then ran towards the road, flagging down the drivers of the car to try and get their attention. Thankfully the car pulled to a stop beside the group, the lady in the passenger side rolling down the window.
"hello" The lady smiled at them
"my best friends have to get married in two hours at Chepston" Grace told them, her hand in Juliet's who was holding the cake under her arm.
"well isn't that an alignment? were off to sell our creation at their craft fair!" The lady told them, Ophelia was sceptical, after all she was brought up to never get into strangers cars but she had rich and they would never let anything happen to each other. She did look a little looney.
"Squeeze in the back!" The man shouted from the drivers seat as Nick studied the angel on the roof top. Juliet handed Ophelia the cake as Grace kissed her on the cheek
"what about the others rich, they've got to be there" Ophelia whispered to the boy
"well, we have to be and..." Rich turned towards Alo "and they will be, right!"
Everyone quickly clambered to get Nick down from the roof as Ophelia and Rich squished into the back and Alo got directions. Waving goodbye to their friends, Rich and Ophelia held hands, the boys thumb running over the back of the girls. Ophelia's dress barely fit in the back of the car let alone a cake and the boy as well.
The couples drive was extremely uneventful, the older couple was telling stories about their wedding and occasionally Ophelia would input something but it seemed the couple was rather hippie. They also found out Diesel, the man, was a roadie for napalm death.
When the two finally got dropped off, they ran towards the church. Rich took the cake so Ophelia could hold her dress up as she tried to keep up with the boy in her heels. The bells rang as they made their way up the hill. Ophelia handed their papers to the priest as they reached the top of the hill
"oh... im afraid you've missed your slot" The man told them "im just starting the born-again-agains baptisms but i could fit you in... in an hour... potentially"
Rich handed the man some money and everything was sorted, the two where getting married in an hour
"where's that young Creevey, and the rest of your party?" the two stayed silent "Oh well there's almost an hour yet, all you need is two witnesses"
woo short little chapter before the final one or two chapters of the first season of volume three!!!
