Just breathe Chapter 1

Chapter 1 ~ Macey

With 100 eyes staring at me and my white silk dress that had a purple lace around the waist. The dress fell to the red carpet that led me to him.

Not anyone else's, mine forever. I kissed my dad on both cheeks no matter how corny it was, as he let me go, Jake Wesley, was standing there holding out his hand, I took it without even thinking. He will be my new husband in minutes , seconds , The priest cleared his throat and began, but as the priest was going on and on I couldn't help but have a flash back with my mom 20 years ago when I was 6 and she was showing me her wedding day pictures.

"Now, this is your father oh , god bless his comb over ... now this was my aunt Lauren who had passed away the day after the wedding , that's why you never meet her.. But oh Macey you would have loved her just as much as me." My mom said smiling with water in her eyes. "Oh my, this was your aunt Janice , she was so happy for me she cried the whole time! Here's your uncle Tom... Ahh those were the days Macey . Make sure when you get married you have the feelings I had, the feeling that you wont regret the choice of marrying a man.”

"Mom, " I said starring at her lost face " When I get married I promise to wear your dress and everything else you wore on your wedding day."

She couldn't help but cry , my mom was so fragile when it came to and special occasion , me not so much but my sister on the other hand she was exactly like my mom , beautiful , with deep blue eyes and long blonde hair, who cried at anything sad. Me I looked more like my dad with brown eyes and brown hair with caramel streaks and some blonde , I wasn't so fragile with these subjects , I wanted to cry but never could.

I told her the truth, I keep my word. I wore her dress that she wore, her shoes, her little blue necklace.

"Macey Smith do you take Jake-" Beep, beep, beep. As the beep's got louder I woke up to seeing my alarm clock witch brought me back to reality. No I wasn't getting married today... Tomorrow or in a couple of years... Or in a long time. I was only 16 going on 17, who only could find perfect fairy tales in her dream's...

Never here in reality.

I looked at my alarm clock, it was 10 o’clock, my dad usually came in my room and gave this big speech on how today could change the rest of your life. I sighed as I got out of my bed, put on my bathrobe, combed my hair so it didn't look like mess. I started down the long lengthy stairs and I couldn't smell my dad's pancakes which was odd because every Saturday he did. I ran down stairs to the sound of crying. Oh god something's wrong. I picked up pace going faster and faster down the stairs, I saw my mom crying. With my dad, he looked up at me like he couldn't speak. But he got the strength and told me.

"She's gone Mace... She's gone."

"W-who's gone dad? "

"Your sister left ,and left this note."

As I stared at my dad and mom confused, scared, terrified. It felt like a stab through my chest and I felt alone. My sister would always say it you and me against the world Macey and I'll always be there with you no matter what. I started to cry holding the note, the ink became smudged with my tears as I tried to read it, at the same time the doorbell rang.

We all look at each other because nobody wanted to answer the door, the doorbell rang for the second time. I wiped my tears and braced myself for police officers because my mom was always so cautious with everything me and my sister did or whole lives. I had another flash back 9 or 10 years ago when me and my sister went for a walk around the block to pick flowers, we did that every day and then came home with thousands and thousands of dandelions. The last time we went out was different... Very different.
