*time skip to day of the wedding*

5 am the alarm goes off. I throw my phone at the wall and it turns off.

"Jesus Allie!" I hear Grace yell.

"I hate getting up." I say.

"I know but today your getting married!" She says pulling the covers off me.

"No! I wanna sleep! Sleep is nice. Wedding is stressful." I say reaching out for the covers.

"Fine if this is how you wanna play it." She leaves and I happily sigh and turn over. Moments later I feel ice cold water poured all over my head and body.

"GRACE! WHAT THE HELL!" I scream.

"Hey! Look at that! Your awake!" She says laughing.

"Your gonna fukin die." I say standing up.

"That's fine. The look on your face was priceless." She says.

I tackle her to the ground as Marylinn walks in.

"What's going on?" She asks.

"She poured water on me." I say getting off Grace.

"You wouldn't get out of bed." She replies.

"You didn't even give me five minutes." I say.

"God you are such children." Marylinn says. We all break out into laughter. "Here's the plan. Allie go get in the shower, your hair is gonna air dry, then we're gonna go down for break fast. Grace you take a shower in my room."

We nod and do as we are told. About 20 minutes later we meet back in my room. We head for breakfast and eat food. By the time we are back in my room it's 7am.

The girls were doing their makeup and hair. I started changing into my undergarments. My mom came over an hour later and did my hair. The girls did my makeup. Grant came over and we had the girls and my mom leave the room.

"You look beautiful, Alyssa." He said after the door was shut.

"Thank you. You look handsome as ever." I say.

"Let's get you in the dress, shall we?" He goes to the closet and unzips the dress. I step into it and we pull it up.

"This is bringing back so many memories." I say adjusting my bra.

"Yeah, prom." He says.

"I was the third wheel for junior year." I laugh.

"But not senior year." He says zipping me up.

"I'm gonna miss you." I say.

"It's not like anything is changing...okay, well it is. But it's not like I'm moving." He says finishing zipping me up.

"Yeah but, I don't know what's gonna happen next. And your in your senior year." I state. I turned around to face him. "I'm scared."

"Don't be, I'm sure he's gonna be a good guy." He says reassuringly.

"But still I'm terrified. My family and friends and the world watching me marry a stranger."

"Hey, I wouldn't have signed you up for this if I didn't think you could handle it." He says rubbing my shoulder.

"I know." He gives me a hug. We stay like that for a while and then I pull back. "Okay, lets go before I cry and ruin my makeup."

"Theirs my Alyssa!" He says laughing.

We head out the door and my mom immediately starts to cry.

"Mom," I start. I give her a hug. "Don't cry."

"You've grown up so much." She says.

We all chat for a little bit and then head down to car. Once we get in the car we all do our own thing. Grace is texting her mysterious boyfriend. Marylinn reading fan fictions. My mom is driving and Grant is on the phone with my Aunt who is already at the venue. I put my head back and close me eyes.

I think to myself, "what am I doing?"
