After my mom decided to leave my dad, since he cheated on her basically their whole relationship, and they weren't actually in love, she told me once I was older that she never thought she was going to find love. I assured her she would. She's amazing and so incredibly beautiful how could someone not love her?

Then when she moved to North Carolina while I was busy and she finally trusted me to take care of myself, she met Daniel. Daniel who she said was just her best friend, now look at them. They're getting married in a couple of hours.

I've been laying in bed for a couple minutes staring at the ceiling, I look over at my dress hanging from the closet door. I then turn to look at Jamie who's on the mattress on the floor. Sofia is sleeping right next to me, a pillow between us because according to her I snore, and the pillow blocks out the noise.

Bailey moved over to the guest bedroom a couple days ago because she said I sleep talk.

Jamie says none of those things are true, but then they claim he's lying because he doesn't want to hurt my feelings.

I don't know who to believe anymore.

The first premier for Avatar is so soon now. It still feels so surreal that it's finally happening.

We leave the third since my mom and Daniel leave tomorrow, the second, for their honeymoon, I just wanted to make sure I was here to see that they got to their honeymoon safely before I left.

My mom won't be at this first premier, it'll just be Andres and Sofia but she'll be at the rest. She checked with me a million times to make sure I was okay with it. I'm more than okay with it, I just want her to be happy.

I quietly get up from the bed and step over the mattress Jamie's sleeping on, he dragged it closer so we could talk last night while Sofia slept. We then fell asleep like that.

I sneak out of my room and go into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

It's only eight a.m right now, but I'm sure I heard my mom get up, probably from nerves.

She didn't even want a bachelorette party. I was so ready to throw her one but she just wanted to spend the night with all of us watching movies, eating pizza and, those of us legally allowed to drink, drinking wine. So Bailey was the only sober one.

Jack and Trinity stayed in a hotel since it's a full house here already. They'll sleep over tomorrow since my mom and Daniel will be gone by noon and we'll have a huge sleepover before we leave the next day for London.

Andres and Sofia will be coming with us, Sofia has to fly back to LA a day later. She'll be so tired but she has to go back to filming. She'll meet back up with us at the LA premiere though.

When I'm done in the bathroom I walk downstairs to find my mom at the counter drinking a cup of coffee.

She looks up at me as I walk towards her.

"Good morning." I mumble tiredly and rub one of my eyes.

"Morning."

I sit next to her fully turned to face her.

"How are we feeling? Still wanna get married?" I ask just to make sure.

"I'm very sure I want to marry Dan. I'm just a little nervous" I nod. "Good."

"The make-up artist should be here in a couple of hours, you should probably just watch a movie or something." I tell her as I check the time on the microwave.

I want to make this day as easy as I can for her. That means I'm basically managing the whole day.

"I'm too nervous to sit still. I'm gonna take a shower." I nod. She'll be in the bathroom for an hour which is enough to waste some time. I'll curl and do her hair.
