I sit up on the table, careful not to rip my blue dress. I kick off my look down at my phone and scroll through Instagram. "Shit!" Mom curses.

I look up. "Something wrong?" I say it with a bit of humor.

She looks at me. "Watch it, Andrew," She gives me the death glare before adverting her attention back down to her dress. I look down as well, a huge tear runs from her hip down to the front of her leg. "What the hell am I supposed to do?" She looks up at me and I can see the panic in her eyes.

I hop off the table. "I've got this, Mom," I assure her as I untie the silky white ribbon I have wrapped around my waist and I walk up to her.

"What are you doing?" She looks at me.

"Relax," I say as I loop the silk over the tear. I start to tie the silk at the ends when I'm done, I don't know why my mind wonders to ties. And suddenly the silk is done. "There ya go."

She runs over to the mirror and sighs in relief. "Thank you!" She exclaims. I nod. I start toward the door, but she grabs hold of my forearm. I turn and look at her. "Thank you for being here through this." She smiles softly when she says it.

"Can't go to Dad," I didn't realize what I said, the words slipped out so fast. I didn't even think about it. Mom pushes a forced laugh. "I'm really happy for you, Mom. Don't worry about me. You need to be happy."

She nods and purses her lips as she lets go. I quickly walk out of the room.

I stare blankly in front of me. I'm so spaced out lately with the arrangements, how am I ever supposed to even serve as a suitable kid? I can't. That's it.

I push open the door and walk into the room, people are talking with each other quietly while they sit in the rowed pews. I look over at Henry.

I will admit, Henry's a good looking guy. His blonde hair is cut short, but still manages to fall in his face. His blue eyes are like ice, almost white. His chin is rounded and strong. His nose slopes down and then points out. His facial features are so distinguished. He's tall, with broad shoulders that make his entire stature complete. His legs and arms are strong, his hands are rather big.

He quickly sees me and waves me over. I walk over. "Hey, Andrew," he says, putting an awkward smile on his face.

"Hi, Henry," I say quietly. I look over at the tall man standing next to him.

"This is Rick," He says as he points to the man. Rick looks severely young, like around my age. His face is soft and supple, I want to take it and hug it. His chestnut eyes look me up and down. Rick shifts his weight over an over, as if he can't choose a placement of his weight. What's wrong with him? "Rick this is Andrew. She's Clarissa's daughter," he turns his head to me. "Rick is an intern at the company, also one of my groomsmen." I nod and turn around, starting toward an empty seat on the first pew.

I sit down and cross my legs. No one talks to me, thank god. One thing I really wasn't looking forward to was, 'I bet all the boys chase you around!' 'You must be a heart breaker!' 'Where's your boyfriend?' I shudder at the thought of someone asking where my boyfriend is. I've never had an actual boyfriend. Yes, I've had sex, but it was all just casual and meaningless.

I hear the music start and everyone stands up and looks toward the back of the room, I mimic their movements. The big white doors swing open and Mom walks out with her best friend Rachel right beside her. I suddenly feel like I'm being watched, but I ignore it.

Mom looks at me and smiles. I smile back and give her a double thumbs up. She makes it up the platform and everyone sits.

The feeling continues. I shift in an uncomfortable manner in my seat, maybe whoever's watching me will get the idea. The feeling still doesn't stop. I bite my lip nervously and wait for the ceremony to be over so the feeling hopefully goes away.
