The Arranged Marriage

CHAPTER SIX

BRODY

I feel something cold being poured onto my face and open my eyes to see
my dad standing next to my bed with a now empty glass.

"Dad!"I whine and he grins.

"What?"

"Why do you always wake me up by throwing water on my face?"I ask wiping my face with the duvet which is currently covering up my body."Because I am your father and I have the right to do anything.We should always have fun and enjoy our life son,and I enjoy it by throwing water on you"He laughs at his lame joke.

I sigh and run my hand through my hair."You are too old for this dad.When will you understand it?"I ask him and he grins.

He puts his mouth close to my ear and yells "Never!"Before running out my room.I groan and rub my ear before getting up from my bed to go to the washroom and do my business.

As soon as I walk down the stairs my dad looks up at me and frowns."What's wrong?"I ask him,picking up a chocolate chip cookie from the fresh batch of assorted cookies that mum had baked this morning.

"Why aren't you ready?"He asks,turning the page of the newspaper he is reading.

"Ready?For what?"I ask,confused."You forgot.Didn't you?"He asks and I nod."Yeah".

"Well Mr.Rosewood is coming to pick us up in"He says looking down at his wrist watch."About thirty minutes from now.The girls are already gone to look for dresses.Now it's our turn"He smiles and I groan before walking back up the stairs.

Why the fuck am I stuck in this situation?I wish I didn't get into trouble so much.I just wanted to have fun and get rowdy.If I would've known that my parents would set me up to marry this ugly chick I wouldn't have had too much fun.

As soon as I walk into my walk in closet I look around to find myself a pair of suitable clothes.What the hell am I suppose to wear for tux shopping?That's what we'll say right?Because girls say dress shopping?Anyways I don't give a fuck about what we call it.All I know is that I don't want to go.

After looking around for a few seconds I settle on a normal converse tee and a pair of skinny jeans.

As soon as we reach our destination I get out of the car hurriedly.Thank god that we are here.I can't spend another second with these hyperactive  assholes.Mr.Rosewood,George and my dad pissed me off the whole ride here.They kept talking about my wedding and how they were so excited to be the grandparents and an uncle.They also danced and sang along to some 80's songs which gave me a major headache.

Why don't they get it that I don't want to marry this girl?I am still young and I want to enjoy my life without being held back or given responsibilities.I don't want to have a family right now.Not for another two years or so.

But how do I stop this wedding?I really don't like the idea of the arranged marriage.I have always wanted to have a love marriage.

I don't even know anything about this girl except her name.What if I never get used to her?I would have to give her a divorce even though it would hurt my parents.

Anyways,I stop thinking about the future and focus on the present.My dad is currently talking to the shop manager while George and Jack are looking around for the tuxes for themselves.

I sigh and walk around the shop glaring at every tux.One of these fuckers will ruin my life.I mean I will wear one of these and marry that bitch.One of them will be responsible for my wedding.I hate i-Why the fuck am I talking to myself about these tux?I am seriously losing my mind ever since I got the news that I am getting married.

"Brody?"Dad calls me.I sigh and run a hand through my hair before walking up to him."Yes dad?"."Have you found yourself something?"He asks and I frown."Pick any one of them for me"."What?Why?"He asks."Because all of them look the same and I don't care what I wear"I say and he looks at me like I am an idiot.

"It's your wedding Brody!How are you not excited?"He questions."Maybe because I don't want to get married!Maybe because I am being forced to get married to that bitch!"I yell and look around to see everyone looking at me with wide eyes.

I run a hand through my hair before walking out the shop,slamming the door on my way out.

Not knowing where to go I start walking down the street but stop a few minutes later when I see mum,Sophie,Georgia,Mrs.Rosewood and of course the bitch who is going to ruin my life,inside a restaurant.

Everyone is talking and laughing.Having fun while Ciara is sitting down in the corner uncomfortably and slowly eating her food.That fat ass has got nothing better to do instead of eating.She has probably never eaten this kind of food.

I roll my eyes and walk down to the local park at the end of the street.
I walk inside to see only a few people and smile.Hopefully I will be able to spend some time in peace.

I sit down on the empty bench under a tree and smile as I look at the children playing on the swings.How I wish that I could get my childhood back.Being an adult is so fucking hard.A child does nothing but play and has no other work but then look at us.Working our ass off to earn money and there is always some kind of stress there with us.We have to worry about every little thing in our life.If I was a child I wouldn't even have to worry about getting married to a stranger.

Why the hell do I always bring my marriage into every second sentence I say?Maybe it's because that is what's stressing me out the most.

I don't want to leave my life behind and start a new life with Ciara.I am still young.I still want to go out every night with my friends and have one night stands.Come back in the morning and have sleepovers at each others houses or go camping.

I just don't want to give up my bachelor life just yet.But how do I make my parents understand that?

Though they shouldn't actually do it because it's my life.I should be able to make my own decisions and not them.And this decision is so important for me.It will completely change my life,in a bad way.

Lost in my thoughts I don't see someone taking a seat next to me.I look up to see my dad.

"Dad?"

"Hey Brody"He smiles sadly."What are you doing here?"I ask him,coldly."I am here to tell you that I am very sorry.I know that you don't want this son but I don't have a choice.I would rather have you get married to a girl you don't know than see you rot in jail.I can see how much you have changed Brody.You weren't like this.You never used to drink or do drugs and you never had one night stands.And why do you do graffiti on public walls or others properties?Why have you changed son?What has gotten into you?"He asks taking my hand in his and my eyes widen before I pull it away.

"How do you know?"I ask."I know everything about you.You can't hide anything from me.That's the reason we are making you get married to Ciara"He smiles,slightly.

"It's my life!I can do anything I want and everyone changes anyways.Nobody stays the same.So don't you dare tell me that something's wrong with me.You and mom are the ones who should get yourselves checked.You don't understand that you guys are ruining my life!I don't want to get married right now and even if I do,I don't want to marry Ciara!I don't love her,hell I don't even know her.You s..said that you are my best friend and y..you know that I only want to get married to a girl whom I fall in l..love with.Then why are you forcing me to marry her now?"I raise my voice in the end as tears start to fall down my cheeks."I know that I am a d..disappointment to you guys but p..punishing me like this is not fair"I say,wiping my tears.

"Brody I am sorry s-"I don't hear the rest because as soon as he starts speaking I run out of the park.

Fuck them!Fuck all of them!I don't give a fuck about anyone.They can all go and rot in hell.

I don't know what that Ciara chick has done to make them love her more than they love their own son.

Shaking my head,I get rid of the thoughts and decide to go to my best friend,Wyatt's place.
