"Dude , you can't do that to yourself. That is totally unfair and I'm pretty sure you'll get in trouble" Robin told Richard after the lad confessed his and Maine's plan to help her escape her seemingly inevitable fate.
"But if I don't do this, I'll lose her forever"
"Dude ... news flash .. you already did ... have you forgotten about what she told you when you two were on the rooftop? ... you told me she rejected you man. Don't dot his to yourself please ..." his cousin begged. Robin has a point , but his love for Maine is much bigger . And he will still help her , despite all the impending troubles ahead.
"But I have to, Robin. I wasn't able to fight for Jenna that's why I lost her . I won't let history repeat itself with Maine"
"Fine dude , whatever you need .. I'll be here"
"Thanks man" he answered just as the doorbell started ringing. The lad ran and opened it , only to see Jenna on the other side. His heart skipped a couple of beats;, his ex then looked at him with teary eyes. She didn't say a word ... instead, she just hugged him tightly.
"Jenna ... what happened?"

"Are you out of your fucking mind Maine? You cannot marry Richard ...if they find out you orchestrated a wedding just to piss your father off ... you can go to jail" Natalie told her.
"Jail? for what? for wanting to escape what date has brought on to me?" Maine asked her best friend. She knows what they're gonna do is wrong, but it's the only way .. it has to be. There's no way in this world that she's gonna marry Austin just to please their family's pathetic tradition.
To make things absolute worse, her Dad just arrived. Knowing him, he can bring hell to her life on a normal day to day basis.
"Fine ... when will this wedding commence?" Natalie asked, still doubtful that they can pull this act together.
"This weekend" she replied, making Natalie's mouth fall open.
"This weekend? You are out of your fucking mind ... it'll be impossible to pull that off"
"It's just a simple wedding .. it'll be just me and him .. and then two witnesses"
"Why don't you two just elope and never come back?"
"We can't do that Natalie" Maine answered before putting down the cup of coffee she's been sipping on for the past couple of minutes.
"Then just get pregnant ... you can do it"
"Oh my gosh no ... sorry .. I just remembered something ... I have to go" Maine replied while gathering all of her stuff that has been scattered on the table. "What? why?" Natalie asked her.
"I have to make RJ sign these papers"
"What are those?" her best friend asked before pointing at them.
"Our fake marriage contract ... it has to come with a lot of perks" she replied.
"Perks? what kind of perks?"
Maine grinned before saying "Some anal action".
"Oh my gosh you're so naughty ... but haven't you done that already?"
"Nope .. and if he's gonna fake marry me ... I have to give him something big"
"Like your backdoor v-card?"
"Exactly .. I have to go now love ... bye!"

Richard went to the office later that morning still feeling anxious abut the incoming days. He never thought something like this would happen to him. But it did.
