ch. 62: "church bells"

Tatiana's P.O.V

(2 days later)

Today was the wedding.

I looked at myself in the mirror with my white robe on and my wet hair dripping. The clock in the room was ticking obnoxiously loud, it was the only noise in the room since the bridesmaid were in the other room, chattering amongst themselves. My mother walks into the room, smiling proudly. She had her hair in a messy bun and also the same white robe as mines.

"I'm so happy for you, Tati." she looks down at me, then gives a tight hug with a little squeeze.

"Thank you nanay.." I whispered. (author's note: nanay means mother in tagalog. and no it's not pronounced nae-nae omf)

"I knew that Calum was never good for you anyways.. I tried telling you earlier but you, being the stubborn girl you are, didn't listen to me-"

"Stop." I looked up at her, giving her an un-amused face.

She shrugs and walks away.

Why did she always despise me? Why did she always have to question my actions? I felt like she has always hated me eversince the day I started to take interest in Calum. I shook my head and tried to push away the idea of Calum. The stylist walks into the room about thirty minutes later, his name was Guy Tang. Our wedding planner has hired him since I had no idea of who to choose for a stylist.

My hair was styled into a curly updo since Jace told me I looked better with my hair up for formal events. My makeup consisted mainly of airbrushing and flawless contouring. My eyeshadow was kept light, a combination of a dusty rose-pink color with light brown for a natural smokey look, after my eyes, my lips was a shade of whipped caviar. I took a look at myself in the mirror and I was taken aback. Not a good type of being taken aback though..

I didn't even look like myself. Scratch that, I didn't feel like myself.

"Oh my god you look so beautiful!" Sabrina squealed as she ran through the doors with her lavender colored bridesmaid dress. We had finally made up about two weeks ago, we sorted things out and realized we were both being immature people. Anne peeks her head in and my heart warmed up because she said she couldn't go because of school.

I hugged Sabrina tightly and walked over to Anne who was waiting for me by the door.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Anne whispered lowly for no one to hear.

I nodded slowly and she sighs.

"You hesitated... Come on, tell me the truth." she says once more, hoping to get the truth out of me.

"I-"

"Tatiana come on, we need to take pictures!" Sabrina pulls my arm before I could even say my sentence to Anne and we take pictures on her snapchat, making some silly faces here and there even though I wasn't feeling my best.

My mom picks up the huge canon camera she has bought for the wedding and starts to snap pictures of me and the bridesmaids. After that, we took some wacky pictures with everyone doing some funny poses.

"Miss. Tatiana, the limo is ready." our driver announces from outside and I walked to unlock it, revealing Michael.

"Mich-" he suddenly pulls me out and puts his hands on my shoulder.

"Listen, you need to think and respond quickly, don't say a word to anyone OK?" he looks straight into my eyes and I keep quiet, nodding. "Okay cool. Do you wanna get some pizza or some shit?"
