"Chris, if you don't shut up, I'll pull over and kick you out of this car." Garrett says as Chris sings along to Taylor Swift.

I laugh as I look back at Chris who was squished in the back next to Lily and Jake.

"You're no fun, Garrett." He wines.

I smile.

"Yeah, well my ears are bleeding because of your singing." Garrett says as he drives.

We were in Boston and were on our way to the lake house for the wedding. I was so excited to be back home again, I wasn't gonna see Mom till the wedding day but it's better than not seeing her at all. It was already starting to get warm again and March just started.

"Is Connie nervous about his big day?" I ask my boyfriend.

"Yeah, he's been calling me every second since he's been back because he doesn't want anything to go wrong." He chuckles.

I smile.

"That's cute." I say.

He nods.

"For my wedding, I want it underwater." Chris says from the back.

"What?" Jake asks.

"Yeah, with the sharks and shit." He says.

Lily laughs.

"I don't think it works like that, Chris." I say.

"I hope you get eaten by a shark." Garrett says.

Jake chuckles.

"Shut the fuck up." Chris says.

Garrett laughs.

"Should I grow a beard?" Jake asks as he looks into his phone camera.

"Ew, please don't." Lily says.

"Why?" He asks her.

"Because it would be so uncomfy to kiss you." She replies.

"I'll kiss you, Jakey." Chris says as he kisses his friend's cheek.

"Please don't, I want the sexy driver." He says.

"I want you more, baby girl." Garret says as he looks in the rearview mirror.

"Fine, I'll have Brennen." Chris says as he looks in the backseat at Brennen who was fast asleep.

"He would rather die." Jake tells him.

"No, he loves me." Chris says.

"Yeah, right." Garrett scoffs.

Chris crosses his arms over his chest and pouts.

"I love you, Chrissy, don't worry." I tell him.

"I love you more, Tay-Tay." He says.

"Back off, Christopher." Garrett warns.

"She said it first!" Chris defends himself.

I laugh at them.

"Oooo, I like that one." I tell Lily as she scrolls though her Pinterest board of dresses for the wedding.

"Yeah, but I don't know if it'd suit me." She says.

"I think it would, it fits the color of your hair." I say.
