How the hell did I end up as a last minute bridesmaid, because I have no fucking idea. However, here I was in a tight red, flowy, dress that made my ass look like the size of Jupiter. I tried to keep as still as possible since there was a large curling wand right next to my head. Once Rosie was finally finished she made me do a once over.
"Amnesia, you look absolutely gorgeous. I did a pretty good job." I turned my head towards the mirror & I suddenly understood what she was talking about. I actually looked like a respectable woman at the moment. Not bad, Rosie, not bad at all. "... So Gregory will come up & you will wrap your arm around his, and you will walk down the isle to your appropriate passions." I gave a dazed nod despite only hearing a portion of that.
I peeked my head out into the hall and saw that people were really packing up in this place. My palms were beginning to sweat & this wasn't even my wedding. What if I eat shit & everyone just starts laughing at me? What if I fall making everyone else fall causing a domino affect? What if- "are you ready Amnesia?" Rosie was looking at me with hopeful eyes. "Yup, just a little nervous." She chuckled and said, "there's nothing to be nervous about, unless you eat shit." She walked away leaving me in an even more nervous state. Thanks Rosie.
Twenty minutes had passed and it was time for the wedding to begin. Gregory was coming up next & I felt like my stomach was gonna come up out if my mouth. The closer Gregory got the more I felt like puking, but once I caught a glimpse of the smug smirking monster, my stomach stayed in its place. Grayson was two guys behind Gregory & he was wearing a red suit just like the other guys. Except he wasn't like the other guys. Grayson made my stomach erupt in a swarm of butterflies & my knees felt weak. Once he caught my eye, he looked me up and down, in the most agonizingly slowest way possible. He stopped for a second & just looked at me, with a small smile growing on his lips. He seemed to snap out of it when the guy in back of him shoved him to move forward. Gregory walked up & I made sure not to fuck this up. Except I did. There was a ripple in the carpet & I nearly ate it but luckily Gregory caught me. When I looked back I could see Grayson still staring at me, only this time Madison was wrapped around his arm with a much different expression on her face. Annoyed.
When we got to the front we all took our designated places with Rosie right next to me. Rosie's friend, who's name I later found out was Sabrina, looked stunning. Her dress wasn't the tradition white dress but rather a rich cream color. I like her already. She had this long rose gold hair that flattered her dress even more.
Once the priest began to speak I zoned out & only listened in on the vows that Sabrina was sharing with her fiancée, Ruby. Ruby looked amazing too, she wore a pitch black flowing dress, but u absolutely loved the high top Star Wars converse that peeked through her dress
"I'm not even quite sure where to start, so I'll just start with a thank you." I felt Rosie nudge my elbow. "There is a certain boy sitting in the front row that won't stop staring at you." I got a funny feeling in my stomach and when I looked up his eyes bore into mine like daggers. Noah was wearing all black, head to toe with a new girl hung on his arm, Natalie I believe her name was. What the actual fuck is he doing here? I tried my best to rehab my posture but it was difficult since Gregory seemed to notice my discomfort. I could see his eyes putting the pieces together as he looked between Noah and I. An angry cast took over his entire face and suddenly I felt the Arizona version or Gregory come back. Surprisingly, neither one of them did anything, both remained perfectly calm. Not even once it was time to go to the reception. It was only until I had gone to the bathroom when Gregory let out his anger.
"Amnesia what the fuck happened the other night between you and Noah?" My air caught in my throat and I came up short handed. I had no clue what to say, there was nothing I could say to convince him otherwise. My silence only confirmed Gregory's theory as he ran his hands through his hair and punched the wall behind us. "Gregory stop-"
"Where is he? I swear I'm gonna fucking-" oh god no please, no.
"Gregory please don't let this be another Andy, it's not your place anymore." My last comment seemed to fill Gregory's eyes with even more anger, if that was even possible. "Not my place? How the fuck is it not my place? You're my sister! I'm going to protect & defend you no matter-"
"Except you haven't! You left remember! You lost that right the second I saw you in that grocery store with that girl, the second you kissed her stomach. Where is that girl now Gregory? Or did you leave them just like you left me!" I took a few pants to regulate my racing heart beat. I couldn't read the look on Gregory's face, it was just emotionless. "Amnesia, I thought we were past this-"
"I can't get past it when you decided to leave. Mom leaving, dad killing himself, and all I needed was my brother."
"I was coping-"
"I was coping too! I've been coping since the day I walked in on dad hanging himself in that bar! I've been coping since mom started "self medicating" with heroine, I've been coping since the day you over dosed! I feel like I'm the only adult in that fucking house since Rosie's always out partying & you're doing god knows what. But please go ahead & tell me how you've been coping." Something caught my eye & when I turned my head I was frozen. I guess Gregory didn't realize how loud we had been & how non-private the place we were at really was. Everyone was staring at us and I mean, everyone.
"Oh my god." I briefly covered my mouth with my hand. I locked eyes with Grayson & sympathy covered all his features. I glanced at Noah only to see him weaseling his way out of the reception. I ran towards the back exit door & never looked back.
This books gonna be rapping up pretty soon cause I'm just not feeling it tbh. I have no idea where this is going but I guess we'll just have to see 😌 later lovelies
