Chapter 33

Today is a very special day.

Do you know why?

Because today is the day my wedding dress came in.

"Oh my god!" I squeal as I take it out of the box. Without Justin home, of course.

He is actually in another state, because today he has to perform at a festival.

Coincidence: Selena is going to perform  there too.

Maybe it's time I release an album.

Pushing away those thoughts: I decide that this is a very special moment, and that I should invite someone over.

That someone is my available four best friends, of course.

Ariana, Martin, Dillon and Julian.

After all, they were the ones who were there when I picked it out.

After a few minutes, the doorbell rings.

I run to get the door.

"Oh my god, we got here as fast as we could," Ariana says as she invites herself into the house.

I am quite surprised to see all five of them together.

"I had to stop by all of their houses." now I get it.

"You picked them all up?"

"Uh, yeah," she says in an obvious tone. "Now go get that fucking dress on for me."

I do as told.

Martin's POV:

"Come out Maddie! You've been in there for enough!" Ariana continues to insist for her to come out. She's basically been doing it since she left the room.

"Okay! I think I'm ready!" her voice sounds shy.

"Then get your ass out here!" Ariana says, extremely joyful in this moment.

And all of us guys are practically here for nothing.

We haven't said anything but 'hello' ever since we came in.

Maddie comes out and stands right in front of us all.

My jaw drops to the floor.

I'm mind blown.

"How do I look?" she asks with a worried tone.

"You have no idea how gorgeous you look." Ariana starts to get emotional and looks like a proud mother.

"Oh my god." Maddie grins widely, something I enjoy seeing, though her eyes start to tear up. She covers her mouth. "I am going to get married."

She is going to get married.

She is going to get married to Justin.

"Martin?" Ariana's soft voice seems to wake me up.

I raise my eyebrows at her, then my eyes shift back to Maddie, who is looking at me with the face she makes when she is concentrated.

I love it when she makes that face.

She gives me one of her cute little smiles.

"What happened? You look like someone just died in front of you."

"Do I look that bad?"

"I meant in the surprised matter," she says.

"How do you think I look?" Maddie asks me.
