" Come here!" he shouts and I run under the table to hide from him.  I try to keep quiet but I'm sure he can hear my sobs from under the table. " I know where you are : come out." I need to escape.  " Here!"

"No!" I wake up and I'm hot.  Gosh I hate it when I have these nightmare. I get out bed and get my toiletry bag and take a shower.  I have to be ready for my wedding.  Yeah crazy right.  I'm getting married to a stranger that I met in the streets of Seattle about a month ago .  Well he's not really a stranger.  It's Matthew Walker aka the youngest millionaire in Seattle. I'm not really doing this because I want to but I have to because of my mum's sickness and I have to pay for the medical bills I don't have the money.  And for some reason Matthew agreed to marry me and I wonder what it is.
.
It took us another month to get everything organized except for the bridesmaids and I think Walker is going to hire some people.

My phone buzzes and snaps me out of my thoughts.  I wrap a towel around my body and grab my phone. Speak of the devil.  It's Walker he sent me a message .

Walker: My driver is coming to pick you   up by 8 and drop you off where you are getting ready and the wedding is starting at 10 so it means you have two hours to prepare.

I used to think people would just spread rumors that he's very rude,  arrogant and heartless but with just one message I can see through him.

Me: Okay :-)

I hit send.  What should I wear for the mean time.  I grab a pear of jeans, black tank top and sneakers

I go to the kitchen and prepare coffee. I should call my mom and hear if the hospital can allow her to come for the wedding. She picks at the second ring.

" Hi sweetie." I can hear her smile from the phone.  " Hi Mama, I miss you."  I bite my lip to keep myself from crying. "I miss you too sweetie.  Today is the day right? You don't have to do this Rose"

My mum knows,  I had to tell her.  Well she was going to find out sooner or later because she knew I was never with a guy ever since I got cheated on by my ex boyfriend with our neighbors daughter. Yeah my life is a total wreck since I was born. 

" No mama I have to.  I really want to mum.  You deserve so much better and I'm not going to sit around and watch you die slowly when I have found the solution."

" Sweetheart I have served my time.  You still have a life than me. So please don't waste it on getting married to a stranger." Gosh she can be stubborn sometimes.
        
" No Mum.  I'm sorry but I have to bit,  this is not the reason I called.  I wanted to hear if you can make it to the wedding. "

" I'm sorry Rose but I can't.  The doctor said I have a few scans and I can only go come back home tomorrow afternoon." Tears flow down my cheeks as I hear her say those words.  I really wanted her to come because she's the only person I would know at my wedding.
