After weeks of planning the wedding was only a sleep away. I was excited…no. That was a lie. I was freaking out. I wasn’t ready to marry Ashley, let alone anyone! It was the rehearsal dinner tonight: me and Ashley greeting a ton of people who were coming the next day to see us give up our independence to each other. I didn’t think I was ready for this. My feet were so cold they were going blue. I didn’t want to stay anything but I knew it was the right thing to do to put it off. I had to do it; I had to tell Ashley before it was too late. He came into the room a just the right time. “Hey baby, do you know where my tie is for tomorrow? I can’t find it and if I’m not wearing it my dad’s gonna kill me.”

“Um…no sorry I haven’t seen it. But listen I-“

“I know. I can’t wait either. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you Ruby.” He melted into a sweet kiss, as a lump of guilt rose in my throat.

Andy drove up in his car to pick me up and take us to our hotel, where only I and Andy would be staying. Ashley and the rest of the guys would be taking over our place for tonight. “Hey Andy”

“Hey Rub’s, you ready to go?”

“Yeah let’s go. I’ll see you tonight.” I kissed Ashley quickly on the cheek goodbye then headed out the door with Andy, off to the hotel.

“So…excited?” Andy said sarcastically while he was driving.

“Yeah.” I leaned my head against the window and gave the shortest answers I could.

“Nervous? I would be. If I was getting married I would’ve been shitting myself by now!”

“Yeah, I guess I am a little. I’m just tired that’s all. Ashley kept me up for ages cos he wanted to have a nice last night together before the wedding.”

“You can sleep as soon as we get to our hotel room.”

Like Andy suggested I do, once we got into our hotel room, I shut the silky rich curtains, lay myself down on the fresh bed sheets and slept the rest of the day away. Andy sat on the bed and stroked my hair every now and then, and checked on me asking whether I was ok. I slept like a child until I was woken by Andy saying it was time to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. I got showered, did my nails, my hair then my make-up and put on a red silk dress, doing up the zip with shaky hands. “Hey, hey, hey. Lemme help you” Andy’s cool soft hands brushed my waist and the tattoo of stars leading up to the Black Veil Brides logo on my hip. “Why so shaky?”

“I’m so nervous. I’ve never even met these people.”

“Just don’t worry, Ashley’s family are really nice. They’ll love you I promise. Now come on, taxi’s outside.”

We got to the restaurant and I realised jus how many people were going to be watching me get married tomorrow. I felt like everyone knew subconsciously that I didn’t want to go through wit hit, but I had to now, it was too late to back down. Ashley came to greet me with a kiss filled with excitement for him, guilt and regret for me. “There you are! Come with me my mum and dad are dying to meet you!” he dragged me towards a tall, black haired woman with a sweet caring face and pale fingernails. I’m not sure where his dad was, most likely the bathroom.

“Hello there, you must be Ruby. Im Alice, Ashley’s mother.” I shook her moisturised hand nervously and talked with her for a few minutes about Ashley, feeling doubt in every word I said. I soon excused myself to go and get a drink. I found myself drinking so much I couldn’t even see straight, so I took myself outside and burst into tears in the car park.

“Ruby? Rub’s is that you?” Just the deep caring voice I desired to hear. Andy’s. His tipsy call from across the car park calmed me a little, which made me cry even more as I didn’t want to calm down. I wanted to panic.

“Andy? Hey it’s me. I-I have to um…go back inside because- cos Ashley’s gonna be wondering where I am and he’s gonna be really angry if I stay out here for ages.”

“Don’t worry about him I’ll deal with that later. How much have you drank?”

“I um…I lost count after about the third glass.”

“Okay. Come on. I’m taking you back to the hotel you’re not in a good state at all. Why did you this much? Is something wrong?”

“I can’t do it. I-I can’t get married! I don’t want him…I love him but- I just cant carry on this lie anymore and now its too late cos everyone’s expecting a wedding tomorrow.”

“You know you can back down. Ashley would understand. Course he’s gonna be upset but he’ll get over it sooner or later. You have to tell him either tonight or tomorrow.” Andy helped me up from the concrete floor and put me in a cab with him and we went to the hotel. We called Ashley in the cab and told him I wasn’t feeling too great so Andy took me back to the hotel. Luckily he bought it and Andy was able to set me free in the hotel.

In the hotel room we decided to watch a few movies and drink a bit more. “You wanna know another reason I don’t wanna marry Ashley?”

“Haha…yeah…yeah go on…tell me!”

“Because…Andy…Andyyyyyy…I…love…YOU!”

“Really? You really love me? Well I love you too Ruby. I have for a looonnngggg time! See I think we’d make a pretty good couple. I’d take you to restaraunts and concerts and the sex!!! The sex would be…beyond amazng!”

“Oh? Oh really? Well how about we test that theory?” I found myself taking off my clothes and diving under the covers wit Andy…into the world of wrong but right.
