Delly

-2-

The town is ecstatic it's the wedding day of lord Alexander Preec and Lady Angelica Twich. As Delly stirs she wakes up on a wet pillow, her face dry with the tears her eyes had shed the night before. Just for today Delly thinks, just for the day be pleasant deal with it and wish your sister and Lord what's his face a good day. Delly takes a deep breath, in and out, in and out, in and out. Closing her eyes rubbing her hands through her hair, she could do this she thought.
The door then barges open and in comes her prep team. As she's washed, scrubbed, face puffed and powdered. Her itchy red dress put on. Her nails shaped and hair done up, jewellery on, heels slipped on. Delly looks at herself in the mirror finally looking like the rich girl she was supposed to be, literally a living Barbie doll. Everybody hurries out as her father enters the room.

"Look at you" says her father putting his hands on her shoulders "such a pretty girl" Delly plasters on her happy face.

"You better be good darling"

"I will be father"

"Good girl now go wish your sister good luck"

As he leaves the room, Delly takes a deep breath, she won't ruin the day she will be nice and respectful all day. Delly leaves the room as she's fiddling with her hands looking down at them lost in her thoughts again. She then bumps into somebody, great, Delly thinks bumping into 2 people in 24 hours, I might just be voted the blindest girl of the year.
As Delly looks up, she starts her apology when she realises that it's Alexander, her sister's fiancé, well in a couple of hours husband. Alexander was tall, muscular, a great soldier, had brown curly hair, tanned soft skin and a smile which could cause all girls in the room to faint. Although he was very snobby literally a human peacock.

"Delly don't you look stunning" he says cutting off her apology as he looks her up and down.

"Thank you" says Delly quietly still fiddling with her fingers looking down at them.
Alexander grabs her chin making her look at him "you have gorgeous eyes you know, I mean everything about you is just utter perfection my dear"
Delly smiles trying to be polite as her father told her to be. Delly tries to go past him be he grabs her wrist holding her close to his body.

"Now, now Delly where do you think your going doll"

-Hours later-
"I now pronounce you Lord and Lady Preec" says the vicor "you may kiss your bride"

As Angelica and Alexander kiss the hall goes wild. Delly wearing her fake smile so naturally clapping with the crowd as the happy couple walked back down the aisle. Delly then thought back to the past 24 hours she had kissed two people in which it was forbidden to kiss them.

*Flashback*
As Delly and Hanna walk back along the woods both dripping wet since their adventure into the lake.

"I had a great time you know" says Delly smiling. "where do you live I can come and find you for another day out?"

"I would like that my house is number 11 Burberry lane" replies Hanna looking back at her

"I might not be able to for a while now though with my sisters wedding and all" Delly looked over at her new friend who seemed lost in thought.

"You okay?" asks Delly nudging Hanna. When Hanna didn't reply Delly got worried, was Hanna having a bad time and only did this because she pitied her or thought she was taking her riches for granted? As the girls were reaching the end of the woods she decided to speak up.

"I'm sorry Hanna" said Delly fiddling with her fingers looking down.

"For what?" says Hanna finally snapping out of her thoughts and stopping walking then pulled Delly's hand so she stops to face her.

"For wasting your time"

"You didn't" says Hanna shaking her head.

"Then what?" says Delly now very confused.

Hanna looks her in the eye as she grabs the back of her neck as she smashes their lips together. As Hanna pulls away still holding Delly's neck she says "I had to do that at least just once"

Hanna then turns around walking away leaving Delly in complete shock. What the hell just happened? Delly stood there for a while still in shock that wasn't right it's supposed to be girls and boys who belonged together. It was woman and men who kissed, got married, had kids. Not girls that did that together. Everybody knew that right?
*End of flashback*

As Alexander and Angelica walked down the aisle, Alexander spotted her as he smirked at her licking his lips.

*Flashback*
As Alexander pinned her to the wall he spoke
"God I should have met you first your way more beautiful than your sister and would have made much more beautiful, healthy babies"

"Alexander I have to go wish Angelica luck, I really gotta go" says Delly trying to free her arms from his grip. Alexander then using one hand to keep her body in place and his other holding her chin, to keep her face in place leaned in and kissed her. Delly was in shock, what was happening? This is wrong, this is her future brother in law. Alexander pulls back for just a second "kiss back" he says through gritted teeth, slapping her across the face. Then  he brought his face forward again claiming her mouth as his. Delly kisses back, feeling the excruciating pain on her cheek she definitely did not want to get slapped again. Alexander pulls back a creepy smile on his disgusting face as he walks away like nothing had ever happened. Delly could feel the tears forming in her eyes. I won't cry she thought, I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry.
*End of flashback*
Delly had enough she pushes past people running up to her room slamming the door and throwing herself on her bed crying hysterically.
