Our week at the cabin was nice, it had been a week since we got home. Anna was still coming around asking for money, a few times she had been caught lurking around our house, Lucas didn't fell that she was a big threat and he planned on talking to her about her problem.

Today was Gabe and Abby's wedding day, the guys left for the church early while me, Abby and our high school friend kimmi stayed at my house to have a stylist come in and do our hair and makeup.

It took 3 hours to get everything done, when we were all ready we took our dresses and shoes out and put them in the car.

When we pulled into the church Gabe and Lucas were standing outside the doors. I got out of the car and walked over to them.

"You look pretty." Lucas smiled.

"Yeah." I laughed "I'm covered in makeup and my hair is all done up. Yet here I'm standing in sweat pants and a hoodie."

Lucas and Gabe laughed. Lucas kissed the top of my head.

"Gabe you need to go somewhere so Abby can come in." Gabe rolled his eyes and walked into the church.

When He was gone Abby and kimmi got out of the car, Lucas walked into the church while we got our dresses and shoes out of the car.

We walked into the side door, the stage area was hidden by a big curtain. Kimmi and I got dressed then helped Abby. Her dress was a long white dress with hints of mossy oak along the edges of the ruffles, my dress was short, white with a mossy oak band around the waist. Kimmis was like mine.

When everyone was ready, kimmi went out to let everyone know. Everybody was seated and we were lined up in a small hallway to the right of the stage, the guys on the opposite side.

When the music started, kimmi walked out and met with the groomsmen and they walked, when they were halfway down the isle, I inhaled deeply then walked out, Lucas's eyes shot to mine as soon as we could see each other. I put my arm around his and we walked down the isle. I had butterflies in my stomach the whole time. I couldn't wait for my wedding day now.

When we let go of each other, we stood where we were suppose to and everybody else stood up, when "here comes the bride" started playing, Abby walked out of the hallway and met with her father in the middle.

I looked over at Gabe, who was watching Abby, he couldn't control his emotions, seeing him cry made me want to cry. I smiled and gave my attention back to Abby. When her father placed her hand in gabes, everybody sat down and the ceremony began, the whole time Lucas's eyes were glued to me.

After Gabe and Abby kissed, they locked hands and walked back down the isle together, they walked out the side door. Lucas and I walked out after them, then kimmi and the groomsmen.

After an hour of the photographer taking pictures of all of us we went back into the church to eat. We all sat at a large table in front of a bunch of small round ones where the guests were seated.

Before we ate, the announcer asked for everybody's attention and a large screen dropped in the front of the room, photos of Gabe and Abby played. The slideshow lasted about 10 minutes.

While everybody ate, Lucas and I gave speeches about Gabe and Abby. We embarrassed them both a little bit but everybody laughed. When everything was done and guests started to leave, Lucas pulled Gabe and Abby aside them motioned for me.

"We have something for you." Lucas said to Gabe and Abby. He handed them an envelope holding the deed and gets to his old house.

When Abby opened the envelope she gasped and hailed it to Gabe. She hugged Lucas and I. Gabe didn't know what to say, "your welcome." Lucas smiled at him.

We all walked out of the church, Abby and Gabe left, Lucas and I followed them.

When we pulled into the driveway Anna was sitting outside waiting for us. Lucas rolled his eyes and turned off the truck.

We got out of the truck and Anna walked towards us. "Oh my, you two got married?" She put her hand over her mouth.

"My brother." I said.

I walked away from them and into the house, Lucas invited Anna in.

"Go up and get changed then come back down here so I can change, I'm not leaving her alone in our house." Lucas whispered. I nodded and took my heels off and jogged up the steps.

When I was changed I walked back down to the living room where Lucas and Anna were sitting. I stopped at the doorway, Lucas was talking to Anna about rehab.

I walked over to the couch and sat down on the arm next to Lucas. He looked over at me then got up and walked upstairs. Anna looked at me.

"He's a good man.." She said, pulling at the buttons on my new couch cushion.

"Yes he is."

"You love him." She stated.

I nodded my head, Lucas came back down the steps.

"So, I'll call the rehab in the morning and get everything set up." He said to Anna. "And you can come help Marie out with house work twice a week for $100."

"Thank you so much." Anna cried. "This means a lot."

Lucas was going to let her come into our house? She's obviously still on drugs too, her face is sunken in, the bruises on her arms look new.

When Anna left I went into the kitchen, Lucas followed me in and sat down on a stool at the island to roll a blunt.

"The wedding turned out good, huh?"

"Yeah." I said.

"Emotional."

I nodded.

"How would you plan your wedding?"

"My wedding?" I shot Lucas a dirty look. "You don't think we will get married?" 

Lucas gave me a serious look, I turned away from him.

"Do you?"

"I don't know."

"What if I asked?" He said, stepping towards me, his body towered over me from behind.

My heart started pounding. What was he doing? Was he asking me to marry him? When I didn't say anything Lucas sighed and walked away from me. I followed after him, mainly because he took the blunt with him.

When I got into our bedroom Lucas was standing at his dressed with the drawer open. When he herd me come into the room he slammed the drawer shut and turned around to face me.

I crossed my arms, what the hell was that about?

I took the blunt out of Lucas's hand and walked over to the bed. I took a lighter out of my night stand and lit it.

I hit it a few times before I handed it to Lucas. "Would you say no?" He asked, moving to the bed. He sat down beside me.

"Probably not."

Lucas rubbed my thigh while he hit the blunt, when he handed it back to me, he pulled me tight against his body.
