I walk to our house cause I couldn't find a taxi.

I just hope I don't run into my Mom on my way in, cause her confrontations are the last thing I need.

I notice almost everyone is here.

I walk to the corner of the house that's near the garden. I peep to see if the guest have started arriving.

I honestly don't get why my sister is even getting married. When she should have done what Dad wanted us to do. Go to school and get that college degree but just like my mother she wants to get married to someone rich.

I use the back door to get into the house. I just hope no one sees me without being dressed in the hideous brides maid dress.

I walk through the hallway but I notice something suspicious. Mr Bieber and Mom heading to the study room. It looks like they are arguing,if not then something is definitely not right but I wonder way that is.

I notice my Mom looks both sides before closing the door,am sure it's to check if anyone has seen them.

I tiptoe silently to the study room door and decide to eavesdrop on them.

"Your husband was in debt to me and you still owe me half the amount. But am damn sure you thought marrying off your slutty daughter to my son will change that. Am sure she doesn't even love him,she's just after his money. Either you sign up the prenuptial agreement or you put this house in my name,only then will this marriage go through."

I can't help but gasp.

"I have been looking for you Taylor," I turn around to find it's Justin.

"Oh hey,you scared me but shouldn't you be out there?" Yes I should but Selena was nervous about you not being here,she actually thought you would slack.

"Slack,no way I couldn't slack her wedding for anything," I tell him even though I wanted to actually do that.

"I know about your Dad,Taylor."

You do?I ask him looking surprised,

cause I never expected Selena or Mom to talk about what happened to Dad with anyone especially Mom cause it was her damn fault.

"Yes Selena told me about what happened today last year. She was actually crying thinking it's her fault and how you always make her live with the guilty."

But that's not true Justin. Never have i ever approached my sister about it,my Mom yes not my sister,if she lives with that guilty it's own her own.

"I think you should talk to her and make it clear. Am really sorry if am asking too much of you but apart from talking to her can you be whole heartily for her today,just today and we are sorry for using this day as our own but please acknowledge our love."

"Love?are you being serious. If only you knew your Dad and my Mom are actually in the study room putting a price on your love. For once I thought he was aware about his father and my mother's intentions but I can see his clueless. Am not sure how my sister ended up with a guy like Justin after trashy Harry she dated. Even the thought of him makes my blood boil. I hate him so much.

" Why are you marrying my sister?"I ask him.

Why would you honestly ask me something like that Taylor. Are you questioning my love for Selena? I love her so much more than anything.

"Am sorry Justin, if I offended you am just looking out for my sister. She's all I have right now. Just promise me to always take care of her,no matter what?"
Yes I will Taylor, you know I have always done that,from the time I met her and nothing will change apart from me loving her more cause she will be a part of me.

"But tell me,what about your Mom, why did you say you only have your sister?"
I know what am saying Justin and please excuse me,so I can get dressed and get ready for your big day.

"You can check on your sister first,cause she was nervous.

Okay sure I tell him after pecking him goodbye. I then head to my sisters room.

I knock three times then walk in.

She's all dressed up. She looks so beautiful,I can't help but embrace her into a hug.

"Taylor you're here,I actually thought you won't make it cause of Dad."

Don't ever think like that,I can always be with Dad tomorrow before I head back to school. I don't think I can be able to stay in the same house with Mom while you're gone.

"Don't tell me it's cause of Dad, I can't believe you haven't forgiven her,besides it's not her fault Dad decided to burn down the house with each and every memory we had of it. We were born and brought up in that house. If anything you should be upset with him."

If only she knew Dad only did that cause he found out Mom was cheating. I wish I can throw it in her face right now but I don't want to ruin her day.

"Just forgive her Taylor, you guys are going to be stuck together till you get married,which I doubt is anytime soon cause you have never even had a boyfriend before. For once I even thought you were lesbian but since you don't have any female friends either. I think it's time you got yourself a boyfriend."

Dating is not my thing and I don't need a man in my life to feel contented with life.

Before she could say anything, I walk out of the room with my bride's maid dress in my hand.

"You are bitter and cold. Your hurtful heart will make you spend the rest of your life all alone." My mom's words play in my head as I get dressed.

"No there is nothing wrong with being alone,at least I get to be freed from the the fate of love. It only ruins you. Just look at my Dad, he committed suicide because of love. Am better off being alone." I tell myself trying to prove my mom's words wrong.

"Hurry up,everyone is waiting for you." I hear my Mom yell through my door.

I wear the shoes on quickly. Do I even need to wear makeup? Not like anyone is going to look at me. Of course not, who would notice me. Grumpy cold hearted Taylor, I tell myself as I wear the makeup anyway.

Am glad the wedding is finally over. No need for me to pretend to be happy anymore,about all this gathering with fake people.

I can't believe my Mom and Justin's Dad actually managed to keep up appearances and act like they like each other when all they do is argue.

I say goodbye to Justin and Selena as they leave for their honeymoon. Am somehow sad cause I don't know how I will manage to put up with my Mom without wanting to kill her.

I watch as my sister and her husband drive off to the airport in their honeymoon car.

I just stand in the drive way not sure if I should go back in the house and confront my Mom or I head to the nearest bar and drink my life away but definitely not into this hideous clothes. I take off the shoes and leave them in the drive way. I ripe my bridesmaid dress short.

Am not going into that house sober,so long she's in their not today on my Dad's memorial,cause I might end up watching another person burn to death and this time I will set the house on fire instead.
