Their New Life

Wedding Planning Part 2

Brenda's POV

"So what else is there to do?" Thomas asks for the third time this hour.
"My dress..." I say, "No you may not see!" Thomas's excitement fades.
"Fine." He says sitting back in his chair. We are in Jorge's house in his wooden kitchen.
"Just wait till our wedding." I say. His face lights up, he leans in to kiss me.
He pulls away to say "I can't wait.". He smiles at me then looks down at the watch he's had since the Maze. He said it was the watch he got when he became a runner. "I have to go, it's already 11:00 at night. I'll see you tomorrow honey."
"Okay." I say not wanting him to go. He leaves me with an ache inside, knowing he has to wait to see me again; knowing that I have to wait to see him again. It's been like this since we came to Paradise. Tomorrow, I find the most important price of clothing I will ever wear.

The next day
Brenda's POV

Today I will find my dress, and I want Sonya, Minho, Wendy and of course Jorge there. So we hop into Jorge's Jeep and drive to Pillar's hut, up in the mountains.
Pillar is one of my best friends. She escaped with us from W.I.C.K.E.D and is now living alone with her 2 twin children, Sierra and Ky since her husband died while trying to escape. He was working as a scientist for W.I.C.K.E.D, but didn't know he was work ohm forces company that was in control of the Maze. This just shows how terrible W.I.C.K.E.D is.

   When we get there I am amazed at how many dresses she has prepared for me. Even though its just 7 simple dresses, that is a lot for a town that just started up 9 months ago.

   "Wow," I say looking around "You really are good at this. How did you make all these in such a short amount of time?" I ask, turning my head from the dresses to look at her.

   "I had help from Ky and Sierra. They are ten years old." She says, smiling back at me. She is about the age of Jorge so like 33, and her eyes are already milky with age. I look around just to see one very plain dress, a satin one going down to the floor, and a light blue one with no sleeves, but shoulder straps, I look at it with aww. 

   "May I try on the strapless white one, the speggetti strapped one, and the blue one?" I ask looking back at Pillar.

   "Yes, of course." She says and shows me to her only bathroom in the house. I try the strapless one and it was a no go, I try the satin one and I hate it even more actually. 

   Then I try the blue one on.

   And all I can do is cry from joy, and realization.

   "I'm getting married." I say as I sink down to the floor and cuo my face in my hands. "I'm fucking getting married." Jorge puts his hand on my shoulder and strokes it.

   "I know, I know. Everyone's life will change Brenda." He says. "Think of having kids with Thomas." At this, I take my face out of my hands and look up at him in amazement at what life will be like, but I also see his tears, and realize that i wont be living with him anymore. I'm going to live with Thomas as his wife, I'm going to be Thomas's wife.  

   "Oh God," I say as I wipe my face and get off the carpet. "We're acting like bloody cranks." I wipe jorge's face with my thumb. He smiles up at me and gets up. We look in the mirror at myself.

   "Youre gonna be the most beautiful bride their ever was," Jorge says. "None of the cranks out their will be able to live up to your standards. I laugh at this, throwing my head back onto his shoulder.

   "Sonya will look better." Minho says without thinking, his face turns white. "i'm sorry,I didnt mean -"

   "It's okay, Thomas would say the same about me at Sonya's" I say giving Sonya a wink, she smile and grasps Minho's hand.

   "Wendy, what do you think?' I ask her.

   "youre too beautiful." she says hoarsely, her eyes about to burst through with tears. I smile at her. 

   "So is this the dress?" Pillar asks.

   I wait, not because I'm not sure about the dress, but because I cant wait till Thomas sees me in my wedding dress that's blue with white flowers around my waist, that's so long someone will have to hold it up. 

   "Yes, this is the dress." I say, knowing that we are finally done planning for the biggest day of our lives.
