The life of Gracelyn Hart

Chapter 3

Today is the day, Cheyenne is getting married to the one she loves. I really don't want to go. It is going to be painful. But, I am going to support Cheyenne. She is going to need it. I am getting ready.

I get a shower and then get dried and dressed into my light peach dress. I then curl my hair and brush my teeth. Then put makeup on. I put my heels on. I walk down the stairs and saw how it was set up for Cheyenne's wedding.

I walk into the kitchen, and see the cheese tray. I take a few pieces of cheese to eat. Then sit on the stoll. I take a deep breath and think about how different it is in our family.

Mom and Dad are divorced and Dad is marrying Barbara Jean and having a child with her. Me and Cheyenne are pregnant. Cheyenne is getting married.

I am single and soon to be a mom. The only ones that hasn't changed is Jake and Kyra. "Hey, are you okay?" I get snapped out of my thoughts. It is Kyra. "Yeah, I am. Just thinking." I say. "I know it must be hard on you. To see Cheyenne getting what she wants and you have to struggle." she says. "Thanks, Kyra. It means a lot to me."

"Your welcome, Grace." I get up and walk into the living room and see problems arising. I walk pass and walk up the stairs and see if Jake needs help. "Hey, Jake. Do you need help?" "No, I am good, Grace. But, I have a question." "Okay, hit me with it."

"What is happening downstairs. I seen mom in the kitchen upset." "Oh don't worry, it's nothing. Mom is just stressed, that's all." "Oh okay, thanks Grace." "Your welcome, Jakey." I then hear Cheyenne yell down stairs. I ran down the stairs. I see everyone bickering and then I hear dad talking about me with mom. Barbara Jean is just standing against the wall.

"Gracelyn is just an embarrassment, she isn't getting married to fix it. She isn't being mature about this. At least, Cheyenne is mature to fix the problem." That hurt. I was still on top of the stairs and yell, "Oh yes, Cheyenne isn't the embarrassment, but I am. Even though, We did the same thing. But yeah, I am the embarrassment. And yes, I have matured, I always was mature. But, made a stupid mistake. I'm not perfect." I say as I walk down the stairs.

"Yes, I know that I am not getting married. I know that I am single and have to raise a child that who won't have a father in their live." Then, I turn to see Cheyenne's dress is ruined. I walk up to her and say,"Come on, let's get you a new dress to wear." "Okay, but I won't marry him if he picks football."

I shrug my shoulders then, we walk up the stairs and I pick the best white dress. "Thanks, Grace. I do own you one." "You can pay me back by marrying your true love." "Grace, can I ask you something." "Sure." "How am i going to do this?"

"That's easy, just have faith and find an even ground. Yeah, he loves football, but you have to find a way to get use to it." I see mom in the doorway.

"Yeah, Cheyenne. Gracelyn is right. He loves football, so find a way around it. It's going to be different around here, You are going to be married and have a child. While Grace is going to be a mother and me, I have to get used to being single and everything else." We hug and mom says, "Now, do we have a wedding?"

I walk down the stairs and stand by Cheyenne. She walks down the stairs with dad and she looks beautiful. She stands in front of Van and she says her vows and he does too. They kiss and flowers are flown and pictures are taken.

We clean up everything. Then later that night, they left for their honeymoon. I hug her and say,"Good bye, love you." She waves and I walk back inside.

I get changed into pj's and get into my bed and fall asleep.
