The Cabin •Jc Caylen•

86. "Lies, Lies, and Lies"

This is unbelievable. It feels like when you're in a dream and everything is blurry and happening way too fast. This is what it feels like, so unreal.

I had my sunglasses over my red puffy eyes. It's embarrassing enough he played me and now I have big frog eyes.

"Do you know when your car will get back home?" Alice asked quietly. She tried breaking the silence but I wasn't in the mood for any conversation.

"It should be home tomorrow around sundown" Cristy said.

We remained quiet for a few more minutes before Alice decided to bring me into a conversation I wanted no part in.

"Bails, what's going to happen now? You're not going to get married with Tyler right?" Cristy asked.

I let out a chuckle, "you really want to ask me that now?" I asked annoyed, "of course I'm not getting fucking married, just in case you didn't see back there I just made myself look like a dumbass, so no, there's no wedding happening anytime soon. Fuck Tyler, fuck that stupid marriage, fuck everything!" I said as I stood up and walked to the back of the plane and locked myself in the bathroom.

I felt like tearing my own heart out so it can stop hurting. I sat on the floor and started crying my eyes out. I thought at this point it was impossible because I've cried for so long, but apparently I had more tears to spare.

I'm confused. I asked this many times already but each time I don't get an answer. Why me? My life has been hard enough already, why did I have to be the one to walk into that cabin? I blame him for everything but there's a small part of me that blames myself too.

If I would of simply kicked him out or walked out myself or put a stop when he tried to start a conversation then I wouldn't be crying on a restroom floor.

I'm a good person. I care about everyone and I gave everything I had. I let everyone walk all over me! Was my mistake being too kind? Should I have been rude and selfish?

I picked myself up and wiped away my tears. I walked out and sat back in my seat. They didn't even look at me they just stayed quiet the entire plane ride.

-

I haven't slept in three days, this is going to be the fourth. The plane ride was longer that expected or maybe it was the fact that i was lost in my own thoughts.

I grabbed a small bag that I brought on the plane with me and started walking out. Cristy and Alice followed behind me as the pilot said goodbye to us.

"Thanks" I said emotionless as I walked out.

I walked down the small flight of stairs. Our parents were waiting right there for us with open arms, or should I say only Cristy's and Alice's.

"Mija!" My father said excitedly. I faked a smile as I walked over to him.

He gave me a small hug as he kissed the top of my head.

"How was the trip?" He asked as he grabbed the bag from my hand.

Heartbreaking, "it was really.. fun" I said as I fixed my sunglasses"

"Bailey Marie Phoenix" my mother started, "look at you, you gained a surprisingly large amount of weight and a really horrible tan! The wedding is coming in two weeks" she said.

I let out a small sigh.

"Mother, about the wedding" The more I thought about that horrible wedding the more I wanted to punch myself in the throat. This was my responsibility since the beginning. I can maybe stop the pain by distracting myself with something else.. so I just said it, "I want it to happen earlier, I want it next week. I don't care what reservations you made, change it. I want that wedding soon, don't question me just do it" I said as I crossed my arms.

"Wait what?" Cristy asked as she walked over to my side.

"Very desperate I see" mother said as she looked at me through my shades, "I guess I can make a few changes"

I nodded my head and slightly smiled. I waked over to Cristy's and Alice's parents and greeted them with a hug and a kiss.

"Bailey, we brought someone you thought you might want to see" mother called out.

I turned around and she opened the door of the car. Tyler walked out of the car and smiled. Of course I had to fake a smile but I think it was believable enough. I ran over to him and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you" he said as he looked down at me.

"I missed you too" I said.

He bent down to kiss my lips and I had no option but to just kiss him back.

"Mom where's Emie?" Cristy asked.

"She's at home with the nanny, there's no way I was going to take her out at this hour" Mrs. Dame explained.

"I'll see you tomorrow at the hospital" mother chuckled as she looked at grandma, Cristy's grandmother.

"Big surgery tomorrow, as always, I'll be your scrub nurse" grandma chuckled.

I said my goodbyes to everyone as I climbed into the car with Tyler and sighed as i sat there. My mother and father were still out there talking about surgeries and trips.

I heard a loud knock on the car window and I looked to see Alice standing there. I rolled down the window and gave her a slight smile.

"Here" she said as she grabbed my hand and put something in it.

"What is it?" I asked as I looked at it and immediately swallowed the lump in my throat, "why? No here take it back"

"Just keep it" she said as she walked away.

I looked down at it and all the hard work I've done to forge about the memories just falls apart. They start coming back like a rush of water.

"What is it love?" Tyler asked as he looked over my side.

"Nothing" I smiled as I put it away in my pocket, "there's something I've actually been wanting to tell you" I said as I snuggled closer to him.

He nodded his head for me to continue.

"On the trip, remember those guys?" I asked.

He nodded his head, "yes I remember"

"Well we did kick them out for sure, but it turns out Alice and the tall one, had a thing and I guess now they're dating" I figured maybe I should start lying too, everyone else does it, that makes it okay right?

"Why are you telling me this?" He questioned as he turned to face me.

"He was my friend, I was thinking maybe I'll invite him to the wedding" I shrugged my shoulders.

He furrowed his eyebrows, "No-"

I quickly turned to face him, "this isn't just your wedding, I'm the bride and I can make decisions too" I said as I rolled my eyes, "I'm inviting him, tell my mother if you like, but he's coming" I said as I crossed my arms.

"What about the other one-"

I interrupted him quickly, "no"

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me in close.

"I love you" he whispered in my ear as he kissed my cheek.

I let out a small breath and looked out the window, "I love you, Tyler"
