"So what's the meeting about?"

I froze on my spot as I soon I heard that oddly familiar voice. It gave me shivers. "Cameron. Glad you could make it. Take your seat" Dad smiled at him and he sat next to me. I didn't bother to look at him and pay my attention to dad.

clearing my throat I said "clearly I wasn't informed that there's another person coming" Dad chuckled and I glared at him. Does he think I'm joking? I'm being serious. "Sorry. I knew if I tell you Cameron is coming you won't come." How awkward.

"So do we have a deal?" Dad asked,changing the awkward moment.

"Nope"

From the corner of my eye,I could see Cameron staring at me. I could feel it. I wonder what's he thinking about.

"Why?"

"Being married is not on my bucket list. Being a famous gymnasts is."

"You can still be a famous gymnasts even if your married. How much is it gonna effect it?" Like. A lot.

"He has a point though" Cameron spoke all of the sudden. "Zip it." I said through my gritted teeth "I'm too young for this. Besides. This guy seating next to me is dating someone"

"I don't." He added.

Wait. I thought he's dating someone?

"See! Your going to be fine! Shall I set up a dinner tonight?" Dad exclaimed,he seems excited about this.

Just as I was about to say no. Cameron butted in "Definitely sir." Is he teasing me or something? Unbelievable.

"Great! I'll see you guys tonight then?" He stood up,pulling out his phone and started calling someone.

"Unbelievable" I muttered and stood up,and stormed my way out of the garden.

"Brie! Wait!" Cameron called out. But I ignored his call and kept walking. How dare he call me Brie.

"Hey! Wait up! I have something to say" He called out but I ignored it. I open the door and slammed it behind me "Asshole" I muttered and walk my way home.

As I arrived, mom is planting flowers "How was it sweetie?" Mom questioned "Don't even ask" I said and make my way inside. I threw my bag in the couch and stomped my way up the stairs. "Stupid ass guy. God I want to kill him" I muttered. Bryan popped out all of the sudden,making me jump "Watch your words, Brie" He smiled jerkily

"I'm not in the mood Bryan" I said with a low tone "What's the matter? Did you had a fight with dad?" He questioned "Much worse that fight" I continue walking and stop on my tracks as I remember "Oh. And Dad is making you the president. Not me." I said before entering my room,leaving a confused and shocked Bryan.

The evening arrived,Bryan and mom is ready to go as for me? I'm still in my sweater and sweatpants,watching something on Netflix. As I said. I'm not going. "Sweetie are you-..." As mom entered the room,she glared at me for not even getting ready

"Of course, she's not ready" Mom mumbled, I rose one of my brow and said "You know even if you mumble I can still hear you"

She entered my closet and find something that "I should wear". I close my laptop and sat up silently on my bed,soon mom came out with a dress which I don't want to wear. "You have 15 minutes to get ready. Now go." She then exited my room and closed the door.

I stood up staring at the dress she chose for me. Oh well.

I brush my hair and put light make up. I grab my phone and purse and went downstairs "Took you long-" Mom cut off her sentence as she noticed what I was wearing "Why are you not wearing-" But I cut her off "It's only a dinner mom. Why should I wear a fancy dress? I could just go with jeans and a top." I smiled at her and made my way out first.

All I could hear is mom sighing and I waited for them inside the car. "Better check you sister's brain,if it's doing okay" Mom say to Bryan which I heard clearly. As she entered the car and sat next to me I say "My brain is fine mom... No need to do some test"

As I arrive,Bryan started sticking beside me "This house gave me chills. Literally chills" He whispered in my ear and I nod in agreement. It's true though. This house has so many memories,and all of that gone.

A door was opened for us and dad was standing just there. Waiting for us "Glad I saw you guys again" Dad smiled sweetly. Although it's awkward for him and mom. He gave her a warm hug anyway same as Bryan,who accepted dad's hug.

I just smiled at dad and didn't accept his hug. Although he was disappointed that I didn't hug him back,I ignored I didn't saw his disappointment look. "Let's go by the garden. The Dallas are waiting" He says and I went behind Bryan.

"Your my hope Bryan. Help me" I whisper and he chuckled lightly. As we arrived the garden. The Dallas are having a conversation. As they saw us they stood up and gave us a hug. I just sat silently next to Bryan.

"So... Where do we begin?" Dad started

"Let's talk about the wedding venue?" Mrs. Dallas speaks

I didn't bother to say anything and eat silently. "I was thinking.... We should do it here? I mean Christian's garden is big enough" Mom added

"Let's talk about that later. How about our honeymoon location?" Cameron spoke,cause me to widen my eyes. "Oh yes,I was thinking Milan? Best location I've been to" Mrs. Dallas spoke again.

Everything makes me uncomfortable. Literally.

"Oh yeah,Milan sounds great" Cameron adds. "What'd you think? Brielle?" Mom asked,and I just nod my head "Is that like... A yes to everything?" Mr. Dallas questions confusingly. "It's not like I have a choice left." I sigh.

All I could hear right now is my own thoughts. Can't believe dad put me in this uncomfortable situation. This is just unfair. "How about let's keep the wedding private? I just think Brielle feels uncomfortable at everything" Bryan suddenly spoke,gaining everyone's attention to him

"Not to be a killer joy or something but as a brother I prefer a private wedding" He added. I smiled at him and gave him a thank you look. "I prefer Bryan's idea" I say,just because I'm getting married to this dude. I have to be nice. No. I won't be. And never will be.
