"This is you?"
"Yeah, it is."
"Wow. You're name is Nicole? And you had black hair?"
"I did. It's a long story, Joey."
"Why didn't you tell me this before", I asked.
"Joey, I told you, it's a long story", Ashli said. She grabbed my hand and led me into another room. There was Adam and another man, most likely her dad.
"Joey, this is my dad. Dad, this is my fiance, Joey."
"Nicki, are you getting married?" Ashli slowly nodded.
"You're getting married! Nicki, I'm so happy for you", Adam said. Ashli smiled.
"So, how long have you been dating", asked Luke, Ashli's father.
"Almost a year", Ashli replied.
"When are you getting married?"
"In a few weeks." Ashli pulled a card - a wedding invitation - from her pocket. She handed it to her father. He read it.
"I'm so happy, Nicole."
"Thanks, Dad." Adam walked away and returned a moment later.
"Nicki, these are yours", he said as he slid a pair of glasses onto Ashli's face.

A few hours later, after a nice dinner and lots of talking, Ashli and I left.
"Why didn't you tell me that your name was Nicole and that you were a totally different person?"
"Joey, it's complicated. You wouldn't understand."
"Why? Why wouldn't I understand it?"
"Because it's too... Crazy", Ashli said.
"How is it crazy?"
"Something happened when I was younger and... it forced me to change."
"What happened, Ashli?"
"I can't tell you", she said.
"Ashli, you can tell me anything", I said, holding her hand. Ashli sighed.
"It's a long story. But, I'll tell you.
When I was younger, my Mom was really abusive. She always hurt me, but she never cared. My dad wasn't there, because my mom made him move out. The only person that actually cared about me was Adam, but other than him, nobody cared if I was dead or alive. Well, one day, Adam moved out and took me with him. Shortly after, the police found about what had happened. But it wasn't just my mom.
Her husband was also abusive. He was my step dad, but I hated him. Especially since he treated me like trash and treated my slutty sisters like royalty. But, I had to deal with it. The police put my mom and step dad in jail for multiple charges, including abuse. I was living with my dad at the time, and he blamed himself for everything that I was going through.
When the thing about my mom wad going on, I had to change what I looked like because people everywhere knew what I looked like. I dyed my hair blonde, got glasses instead of contacts, and I changed my name from Nicole to Ashli.
It's just... really complicated."
"I'm sorry for what happened to you. But, I think that you look pretty with black hair and glasses." Ashli smiled at me. Her glasses fit her perfectly.
"Should I wear them on the wedding day?"
"Of course." Ashli leaned over and kissed me, resting her head on my shoulder.
