Unexpected Love

Chapter 19

To be happy, you have to choose to be happy, regardless of what's going on around you, even if you have no control over what is happening. Choosing to be happy is the first step in taking control of your life. 

"You know what? I don't care." Stella tells her, looking up at her. Violet gives her a confused look. "Happiness is always a choice. You can't wait for circumstances to get better. You have to create your own good fortune. And that's what I'm going to do." 

"Okay, I agree that happiness is a choice, but I'm not sure that I'm following you...

"I don't give a damn who's standing in my living room; my mom, April, Grant, T.J., the devil himself could be standing in my living room right now, and I don't give a damn." 

Violet wasn't sure where she was going with this. 

"I'm in charge of my future; I'm in charge of my life; I'm in charge of my happiness."

"And again, I agree with everything you are saying." Violet watches as she walks to her bed and starts making it. 

"I'm getting married tonight." 

"Yes, you are."

She finishes making the bed as Megan and Taylor walk into the room. "I can't believe she has the fucking nerve to come here." Taylor said. "She's glad my head is killing me, or I'll kick her ass."

"Me too." Megan agreed. "Are you okay, Stella?"

Stella walked to her closet. "I am absolutely perfect." She came back out with her wedding dress in her hands. "I am getting married tonight." She hung up her dress on the back of her door. 

Taylor and Megan gave Violet a questionable look. Violet shrugs. "Umm. Stella, you know that your worst enemy is well one of your worst enemies, or maybe two of your worst enemies. I'm not sure exactly where Grant stands on the enemy list." Taylor said.

Stella's eyes widen. "Grant?" 

"Yes, Grant's here." 

"Wow!! I figured it was mom and April." 
Stella was surprised by his appearance.

"Well, you were right about one of them." Megan tells her. 

Stella gave them a confused look. "One of them? April?" 

"Yep."

"April and Grant are in my living room." She questioned. "Together." 

Megan elbowed Taylor. "You didn't tell her?" 

"No, not yet." Taylor said throwing herself down on Stella's bed. "My head is killing me." 

"Fifteen shots of tequila, two martinis, and a whole bottle of wine will do that." Violet tells her. 

"I don't think I've ever drank so much in my life. The room is... 

"Hello!!!" Stella interrupted her. "Tell me what?" She asked the three of them.

Violet put her hands up. "Don't look at me; I have no idea what they are talking about." 

Megan sighed. "April and Grant..." She began looking at Taylor, who put a pillow over her head. 

"What about them?"

"They are together." 

"Together?" Stella questioned me confusedly. "Meaning what exactly?"

"Knock knock." Gabby said before opening Stella's bedroom door. All eyes went to her. "Sorry to interrupt, but I couldn't take another minute alone with her." She gave Stella a sympathetic look. "I can't believe she's your sister. I mean, I know families have some messed up issues, but to be engaged to your sister's ex is a little bit....
