Together Forever (Book Five)

22. Stress and Doubt

The guys were off on their bachelor party, leaving the girls all alone at the lair. Well, with the company of April and Splinter, of course. Olivia picked at the ends of her braid. "One more day!" She grinned. "I know right?!" Scar agreed. It feels like we just met them yesterday!" "Yeah!" Hannah and Faith agreed in unison. April giggled. "Well, you four seem excited about tomorrow." "Heck yeah we are!" Faith laughed. But there was one thing, eating at the girls' minds. One thing that ate at every bride's mind before her big day: The What Ifs.

"I'm still a little nervous, though." Scar spoke up. "I don't want Raph to marry me now, then two years later, he doesn't love me anymore and he's chained to me forever." "Just like I don't want Leo to look at me while we're on the Altar and have second guesses." Olivia added. "A-and I don't want Donnie to get sick of my ADHD." Hannah stated. "Or Mikey to stop loving me when and if I wanted to raise a family or something." Faith muttered, despite the fact that everyone heard her.

"Are you guys even listening to yourselves?" April demanded, crossing her arms. "Scar, you and Raph have been together since you were fifteen. He's been loving you for four years now. Why the heck would he stop now?" Scar gave a small smile. She turned to Olivia. "Liv, Leo loved you the moment he saw you. He would not shut up about you. He still won't. Trust me, if your worried about anything, it should be how you stop him from crying after the wedding." Everyone laughed at her last remark. "Now Hannah," April began, turning to her. "If I know Donnie, which I do, he won't care what you have. He won't stop loving you ever, even if he dies. He'll still love and wait for you in the afterlife." Hannah blushed. "And Faith. Mikey is one of the kindest people I know. And I know a lot of people. You are, as he puts it, the pepperoni to his cheese pizza. Without you, he's broken and sad. He will never stop showing you affection just because your parents. He will make time."

April sighed as she finished her long winded speech. "Wow, April. That was..... Wow." Scar said. April smirked and made it look as though she was examining her yellow nails. "I know." "How'd you know exactly what to say?" Hannah asked. "Well, I gotta get wiser in the wife department, considering the fact that all my friends are getting married."

A small blush grew on her freckled face. "That and Casey proposed to me last week." She rushed.

"WHAT?!?!"

Hey everyone! Sorry for the late update. It feels like forever since I updated this book. I'm sorry. I hope this makes up for it a little. School, home life, and the fact that I'm sick kinda slowed me down a bit. But yesterday it snowed!!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!! I got so freaking happy! But school ruined it. I only got to play in it in first period for a few minutes. We had a snowball fight though, so that was cool. Anyway, I'll be updating soon. Bye my shellheads!!!
