"It's only the beginning. If we hold on to hope. We'll have a happy ending
When the world was at war before, we just kept dancing"

"go see a psychiatrist"
"there was nothing there"
"did you hear that Mr.Reedus daughter is sick?"
"she's losing it"
"Carmen was talking to her deceased mother."

1 year later.

"Carmen, Carmen!"
I heard muffled noises, I grabbed the pillow next to me and covered my head,
"oh come on now, today's the day!"
suddenly I sat up, accidentally shoving Laura off the bed,
"what."
"Today is your wedding day" she groaned as she stood up,
"shit, what time is it"
"8am"
"and at what time am I getting married?!"
"um..." Laura said as she looked at her watch,
"in 3 hours"
"WHY DIDNT YOU WAKE ME UP EARLIER! OH GOD IM NOT GOING TO BE READY IN 3 HOURS!!" I screamed as I went in the bathroom and looked in the mirror,
"Don't worry, my mom is coming to help us, plus a few bridesmaids, so just relax" Laura started massaging my shoulders, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath,
"ok," I sighed, "and Spencer? is he getting ready? should I call him? what if he's still asleep and late to the wedding?!" I panicked again,
"Your dad called, Spencer has been getting ready and my dad is there too, now come on get undressed" Laura then walked towards the shower, turning the faucet on and testing the water,
"come on!, start undressing if you don't want to get late, oh and someone dropped this off" Laura said, handing me an envelope, then left the bathroom, closing the door.
I stared at it, not opening it, then undressed.

Spencer's POV

"what do you mean that you dropped the cake?!" Carmen' s dad yelled at his phone,
"listen here, I'm paying you a lot of money! What? no ! hey! HEY! what a fucking idiOT" Norman threw his phone on the bed, I flinched and looked at him,
"no deal?" I said,
"no! they fucking dropped the big ass cake, then they said that they aren't going to waste their time again making a 5ft cake, I'm suing this company" Norman yelled,
"Oh, don't worry why don't we tell grandma to make some cupcakes? She was a great baker back in her days" I said to my dad as he fixed my tie,
"I'm sure they would turn out great but I don't know if she wou-"
"finally I'm going to be useful in this family! get out of my way, hey and you! Berman go buy me some flour and sugar"
"yes ma'am" Norman said as he followed her out the room, me and dad chuckled as he kept fixing the difficult tie.

Jeffrey's POV

It's been a year. I haven't talked to her. She hasn't talked to me.
She had a melt down when Spencer and his team didn't find Hunter on 12th street. Or any blood stains.
But it was my fault. It was really my fault.


6 years ago.
   My blood was boiling, my hands held tightly onto the wheel turning my knuckles white, whiter than the moon that night.
Carmen knocked on my door, her hands and dress covered in blood, and her mouth in a pout, she couldn't stop sobbing, I held her and got her in. Why would someone hurt an innocent soul, her angelic pointed nose was red, red like the dress that she wore nights ago when I first properly met her.
It hurt me as well, my heart ached seeing her like this.
With her permission I washed her, the hot water washed the blood stains off, but not the fingerprints that bruised her body. The hot water warmed her up on that oddly cold summer night.
I caressed her wet hair, when she laid on my bed, I heard her softly cry, but I didn't say anything, I just waited till she fell asleep.

Getting out of the car I walked up the rusted stairs, trying to open each door, till I found what I wanted to find.
The bed was messy, with bloody sheets, making me clench my teeth, then out of no where Hunter jumped on me, tightening his hands on my neck, I got to kick him on his genitals then stood up looking down at him while he grunted in pain, he was bleeding, not as bad but Carmen stabbed him pretty good, then I started kicking him, releasing my anger, doing somewhat justice for Carmen.
Suddenly I felt a punch on my ribs, knocking the breath out of me, looking up I see another guy, guessing Hunter's friend since he helped Hunter by carrying him out. I cursed under my breath and ran out trying to follow them, but they were already gone.
