Best mistake

Neuf

I called Emma and Sophie and invited them to the wedding. It's an Understatement to say I'm devastated, I'll be getting married tomorrow, to the man that's not even the man in my nightmares.

SUNDAY
The loud bang on my door woke me up. As if I had any sleep; I didn't sleep all night. I kept turning and switching sides,pacing around and crying.

Mummy and Taylor spoke to me yesterday, telling me to give everything a chance. I tried reasoning with them, to make them understand that this is my life not some random movie where it turns into paradise. Love doesn't work like that.

Another bang on the door and I snapped out of my thoughts.

"come in" I said slowly

Mummy came in with my dress and everything I needed to wear. She was about to talk when I asked her to please leave.

I wanted to take my time in my room as it would be the last time I'd be staying in it as a Miss.

I think the worst dream of any girl is getting married to someone she doesn't love or have little feelings for.
It is such a bad thing!

Daddy said I'd continue schooling here in Lyon. I didn't have a choice.
This is my fault and it's kind of Abel's too.  No! It's not my fault because I didn't make myself pregnant but it is what it is so I don't have to dwell in the well of regret. Maybe I should move on. Maybe.

Some minutes later, two women came in. After greeting me, they said they're here to dress me up; make me up and my hair as well.

I sat down like a dummy. I couldn't stop thinking nor could I stop the tears from running.

"Miss Anna don't cry, we know you'd miss home and we're also happy for you"  the woman making my hair said

" and I mean who wouldn't want to be Abel Walters wife" she winked and they laughed, I just smiled..

Before I went out of my room, I took a final glance and at the mirror too.  I looked beautiful just like a heap of beautiful trash!

I headed downstairs where everyone was, I saw Zoe and I rushed to hug her but couldn't rush well seeing I was wearing a dress.

I saw Emma and Sophie and that made me smile too.

"Take a break girl, make this day fun for it is your first and definitely last plus that baby is going to kill you if he/she finds out you wrecked your own wedding"  Sophie spelled out.

***
We arrived at the church. Every one went in. I was the last to go in.

It wasn't like normal weddings where the father of the bride walks her in. I walked in alone. As the door was opened, all eyes turned directly to me and I felt the tears rolling down.

I looked up to the decoration and It was beautiful too. Even though nothing was meant to be beautiful today, it was.

My friends wore pink and the groom's men wore black. I felt like turning around but with all the people here, I couldn't possibly do that to my parents not after everything.

I finally got to where Abel was, he took my hand and we walked down to the  priest  to take the stupid vows.

"Moi, Abel Walters, je te prend Annabelle Pascal pour être mon épouse, pour avoir et tenir de ce jour vers L'avant, pour meilleur ou pour le pire, pour la prosperite et la pauvreté, dans la maladie et dans la santé, pour aimer et chérir"  I, Abel Walters, take You Annabelle Pascal to be my wife, to have and hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish. Till death separates us.

Everything stopped for me as he finished. It was my turn to say mine. The place was dead quiet so I began

"Moi,Annabelle Pascal je prend Abel" I choked then I looked at mummy she nodded and I continued " Abel Walters pour être mon mari, pour avoir et tenir de ce jour vers L'avant, pour meilleur ou pour le pire, pour la prosperite et la pauvreté, dans la maladie et dans la santé, pour aimer et chérir, jusqu'à la mort nous sépare"

I, Annabelle Pascal,take you Abel Walters,to be my husband. To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health,to love and to cherish,till death separates us"

The car ride was silent as neither of us dared to speak. We arrived at the house shortly after. I didn't wait for the car to stop completely, I stepped out.
I went inside it was elegant and I hissed, turned back and went back outside.

"You better get back inside" Abel said

"You can not boss me around because we took some stupid vows in a stupid church! I hate this as much as you hate this!" I pushed pass him and entered the car and asked the driver to take me home
