I look forward to seeing Aunt Trisha. That's how I clear my mind. I anticipate her arrival as if I'm a kid again. She's my mom's sister...and my second mother. She was the fun auntie who kept to a no snitch code better than anyone I've ever known. There are countless dumb teenage adventures I've had that only she and I know of.

My mom is in the dark about my smoking phase. My fake ID. My belly ring piercing. The time I rode a motorcycle. The midnight parties. The college guy I made out with.

Trisha is the best. She never told on me.She'll be flying in at 10am. I get about 5 hours of sleep. I'm up at 3am making coffee. I stir the spoon. The clinging noise is soothing. I repeat the stirring just because of the sound. It eases me. I decide to waste time reading what's trending online:

ROYAL WEDDING IN 72 HOURS is the first thing I see on twitter. I click. The RSVP for the live stream is pinned to the top of the page. 313 million users have RSVP'd. I read the comments:

I'll be hate watching🧐

I wonder how much the wedding cost🤔

Probably a million.

Probably more than a million lol 😂I think you're way off....

My King and Queen🙌

I give it a year.

A year??🤣🤣💀...I give it 3 months.

Eww...why is this on my feed??🤢🤮🤮

I can't wait to stop hearing about them🙄

She's a 4😒I'm shocked this wasn't fake.

Hopefully she gets work done, maybe she'll look better💩

She better get plastic surgery now that she's in the big leagues.

#MACY❤️❤️❤️❤️

#JACE'SHART❤️❤️❤️❤️

THIS WILL BE THE BEST WEDDING EVER!!!

dismiss the hateful comments and heart the positive ones. I get a text from Velma: A reminder about your aunt's video. Please have it in by noon.

I text: I'll be sure to get it in on time.

I chat with my aunt through Facebook messenger:

Hey aunt tris 😀 you'll have to film a video for the wedding.

I watch the text bubble load.

Tris: I'll gussy up 💅🏻💄👩‍🦳

Me: 😎

"Hey you." Jace pulls my ponytail, so my head bends back. He plants a rough kiss on my lips.
