Chapter 1.

"But I don't want to go!" I practicaly yelled at my mother.

"Sweetie, you have to. It's your fathers wedding. I know that it must be hard for you, but believe it's hard for me too. Hang in there m'lady." 

That's why I love my mother, she always know what to say whenever I feel low, which can be a lot. After my parents divorce I had been sent back and forth to different shrinks under my dad's want, in someway he thought that I was crazy and depressed from the divorce. My mum took me out of all this appointments and saved me my dad's crazy hand. He had now invited us to his new wedding, either in a way of showing us that he never loved us or because his new wife wanted to see how her old competition looked like. 

'better brush off all this negatives thoughts about my dad before I punch him at his wedding.' I thought.

"sweetie you have to put that dress on. We are leaving when you are done." She said handing me a pink dress. 

"there she is!" A brunette yelled running over to me and hugging. I have 2 choices: 1 run away or 2 walk over and say 'yes it's me.'. Right now I was at 'standing there awkwardly like a statue.'

"ehm, yeah it's me." I managed to choke out. 

"you are Jelena, right? Tell me that I am not hugging the wrong person?" Her voice pipped up.

"no, I am Jelena. Except if you were expecting another Jelena." A little joke won't hurt anybody. 

"oh thank god it's you. Frank has talked so much about you. You need to know that he is sorry for everything he has done." I froze when she metioned my father's name. Why can't he apologize himself?

"oh ok. It's ok. It was a long time ago." I manage to squeeze out those words out of my mouth. 

"come Jelena, you need to meet everybody. Oh, stupid me. I am Ellie, your step-mother? I guess? Oh I dont know all that." She is funny. My body was suddenly dragged into a room full of chattering and gossiping girls. All dressed in the same pink dress that I have on, one person caught my eye. A brown haired boy with a lip piercing sitting in a corner playing on his phone. 

"GIRLS!" A voice took my attention away from the boy. "this is Jelena, and this is" I dozed off while she was jumping back and forth saying names after names. "and finally Luke. You two are going to walk in together. And you are the same age." She finished as Luke looked up at me. Ok, don't just stand there totally awkwardly.

"Hi I'm Jelena." Wow, I just so first price of the awkward competition there.

Luke just cracked a smile in response.

"i know that, and I am Luke. Luke Brooks." 

"nice to meet you. So why are you here?" Starting a conversation. Nice move.

"my mum is one of the brides friends. And you?"

"daughter of the first marriage of the groom." 

"oh I'm sorry." Everybody felt sorry for me. My whole life everybody has been apologizing to me. But this time it felt like he really meant it. I look up at him, to see a small sad smile towards me. 

"its ok. You get used to it after all." 

"I know how you feel. My dad left my mum when me and my brothers were small kids."

"ok, lets change subject before I start crying. Tell me about your brothers." I say earning a little chuckle from him.

"so I have a twin brother Jai, and an older brother Beau. Jai got a girlfriend though."

"Nice, I've always wanted some brothers. But I'm an only child. And not the preppy kind." And there goes Jelena, away to my grave, sweeties.

"hey, I am your friend now. Tell me anything, cuz this wedding sucks. Good to have you around." Ok, people I might not die yet. He said that with total honesty. 

At that moment Ellis came storming to us.

"guys, take this flowers and follow us. You are going in right before me. OMG I'M GETTING MARRIED." And there she went on with her teen behaviour. Luke and I just gave each other a weird look. 

"good thing I'm not the second marriage daughter." I whispered to Luke, which made him laugh.

"Your funny, I like that." He mumbled. Probably not for me to hear.

We were both given a bouquet of flowers and guided to a door where all the other screaming girls were standing and almost crying around Ellie.

"hope I won't be like that at my wedding." I prayed aloud, and again Luke laughed.

All the girls were shoved out of the door and so were Luke and me right infront of the now hyperventilating bride. God, she is clearly still a teen. 

"here we go, Jelena. Hold my hand so that if anything happens, you won't be alone." Aw, I think my heart just melted. I fumbled a bit before I found his hand and held it, as he thightened his grip on my hand. I could feel all the eyes on my and Luke. Lets say especially my mother giving me a 'goodthatwearehere' look. 

"my mother is staring at us." I whisper to Luke. 

"my mother and my brothers are too." He answers. And we both chuckle.

I look up at the aisle, and there I see, the person that has probably hated me since my birth day. My father.
