Whole World Against Me.

forty - five .

I couldn't wait so I didn't. Grab a tissue 🤧.

Luxe Salon & Spa .
Houston, Texas .

Spray. Gel. Jelly. Repeat.

Aspen had the entire Bridal party at this salon, getting the most expensive facials.

Jyari and Lilac were getting absolutely pampered.

They were getting three different treatments to make sure their skin was glowing when they got up from their chairs.

Lilac's eyes were shut and covered with a mask and cucumbers so even if she wanted to look she couldn't.

Her lips were coated with a thick lip mask and scrub and she wouldn't dare open her mouth.

Aspen watched the two get the ultimate relaxation and smiled in pride, taking pictures of them.

It was the afternoon before their wedding day.

They had already said goodbye to their spouses to be for the night and wouldn't see them until they were walking down the aisle.

Just the thought made Lilac's stomach turn.

She felt the upmost happiness and absolute fear all at once.

Feeling the hairdresser scratch her scalp just right as the masseuse massaged her feet, Lilac's eyes damn near rolled.

"Makin' sure my niecey and nephew in good hands," Lilac heard Isis say and she couldn't help the smile on her face.

"Mrs.Castilla and Mrs.Gaulden! My girls getting marriedddd!" Lourdes cheered.

Lourdes really showed the girls she wasn't leaving Jyren alone any time soon.

They didn't mind, they loved the woman. She had such an upbeat spirit that they all needed around.

They knew Jyren needed it the most, after Lindsay being the last woman you've ever loved.

And you see how that turned out.

Loud cheers from everybody erupted and Lilac felt like she wanted to cry.

When they finally wiped her face off and she was able to get up, Lilac excused herself to the bathroom.

As soon as the door closed, Lilac broke down in tears.

Hard, heaving, gut wrenching tears.

Moments into her crying session, she heard a knock at the door and tried her best to quiet herself.

"Lili, it's Lourdes, Aspen, and Jye. Can we come in?"

Lilac wiped her eyes and looked in the mirror.

Despite her red face and wet eyes, she looked gorgeous.
