Chapter 40  

Three months later 

Knock knock  

"Come in!" I said tying the laces on my new converse. The door open to revel my brother standing in a suit.  

"Well don't you just look handsome!" I said, he just looked at me. Over the past few months he has let his hair grow out and now his head doesn't look so big.  

"Are you ready?"  

"No!"  

"I meant physically ready."  

"I guess. Who's all there?"  

"Most of the guests but I think you're trying to ask if Ocean is there? He is with his sisters and brother."  

"Right."  

"Are you ever going to fix whatever happened?" He asked me  

"Honestly Milo, I think we're going to go through next year without a single word spoken to each other."  

"You guys aren't going to become like all those cheesy romantic movies where something happened to the couple but then they became arch enemies and then realized you love each other and by the end are together happy are you?"  

"Milo you know I don't do romantic movies."  

"I'm not saying..."  

"He's mad because I saved his freaking life. Let him be mad Milo, I don't care." I told him adding the lipstick to my lips. The white dress flushed me out of all my color in my face, my mother wanted my hair up but I left it down hoping it would not flush me out so much and added the red makeup along with the red converse.  

"I think you do care actually Ronnie but look I'm not getting involved." He said just as Dave came into the room  

"All the guests are here. Time to rock n' roll."  

"Dave you shouldn't be rocking and rolling at your wedding." I said grabbing the bouquet of flowers.  

We walked out of my room and down the stairs to the back door where my mother's other brides maids were and Dave's best men, three of them. One for each of us.  

"Alright you guys know what to do right?" He asked  

"Dave calm, we've had the run-through, we know what we're doing."  

"Ok I'll be at my post." He said walking out and to his place near the preacher. The way it was going to go down was my mom's maid of horror (yes horror, she's a bitch) with some guy and then Selena with Trace then Rayden and I and then my mother with my brother. I was lost in thought when I felt someone put their hand on the small of my back, I jumped and looked up to see the boy who I meant my first trip with Dave.  

"You look beautiful, if this doesn't get the attention of that boy of yours, I think the only thing you'll be able to do is take your clothes off."  

That earned him a jab in the ribs. "Ow it was just a joke."  

"Mmhhm." I said the music beginning to play for us to move outside.  

"You ready for this?" Rayden asked as I took his arm.  

"For my mother to marry my birth father, for my brother to move off to college and for me to start senior year. Nope not ready."  

"I meant to walk out?" I looked then and realized it was our turn.  

"Yeah sure." I said.
