"Rise and shine Dee." I heard a whispering Leo say, shaking me gently. I ignore him, I wanted to sleep more. "Just 5 more minutes I swear." I say sleepy, only to be woken up with more shaking. "Aw come on Dee! Today's the day!" He says. I smile and open one eye to find him hovering over me. "Today's the big day." I reply closing my eye and smiling. "I've waited for this day for a very long time." He says. I sighed and got up, giving him a kiss. "In just 12 hours we'll say I do and you'll take my name and be mine." He adds. My heart races at the thought of our wedding and being together. "Today's the happiest day yet." I mention, only to find out that it was 8 in the morning and I needed to start the day already to get ready for our wedding. "I should get going. There's so much that needs to be done!" I say getting up. "I agree. We need to make sure everything is perfect and set up at the venue and well, get ready to get married!" Leo replies. I nod and smile. This is it. It's happening. "Ugh but I don't want you to go!" He says grabbing my arms, kissing my hands. "I have to! And technically I'm not supposed to be here. You're not supposed to see me before our wedding!" I say giggling, playfully prying Leo off of me. "So? It doesn't matter. No one needs to know that you're here." He says grinning, kissing my cheek. I sigh and smile. "I'll see you later." I say kissing his cheek in return. "Goodbye my bride! Until a few hours!" He says dramatically, walking me out.
I made my way back home, the sun now rising fully, marking a beautiful day, that being a coincidence because after all it is my wedding day. I came home to find mom and Roxann in the living room already awake. "Hey you two." I say shutting the door behind me. "Oh Dee!" Mom says getting up from the couch to hug me. I felt the need to apologize to the two for the way I acted. "Guys, I." I began to say. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I acted last night. I'm sorry I just left so sudden." I add. Mom holds me and looks at Roxann and back to me. "Sweetie, we know. We know you're sorry and we know how much last night was difficult for you." She says. "And, we know we shouldn't have put you in this kind of situation... You know with Mena and all." Roxann says. "I'm sorry." I say one more time. "Don't be." They both said. I sighed, looking around anxiously hoping Mom and Roxann didn't let Mena stay and that he was here overhearing our conversation. "He's not here." Roxann said. I sighed in relief. "Okay good." "He left. Long gone." Mom said. I felt relieved knowing Mena was gone, yet angry and sad. He did it again. He left, without saying goodbye, or talking to me. "Good. I didn't want to see him anyways. Especially today." I say. "Why what's today?" Roxann asked. My eyes widened. "You're kidding right?" I say. "No. Was I supposed to remember something?" Roxann asks. "Roxann!!" I say upset. She grins while mom chuckles. "I'm just kidding! I know what today is! My sister is getting married!" She says. "I can't believe it! The day has finally come!" Mom says tearing up a bit. The three of us screech, while Roxann gets up from the couch to join our group hug while we jump and squeal. "Well we can't just jump here, we have to get ready and pack to go to the venue!" Roxann said, making the three of us break the group hug, going around the house to pack what we needed to bring to get ready for the wedding.
After last night, Mena couldn't help but replay the whole entire night in his head. He couldn't sleep. He kept tossing and turning thinking about Dee. He visioned the ring on her finger, and the way she spoke and left at the end of last night. She left so sudden. There was so much stuff he wanted to talk about with Dee. Mena couldn't sleep knowing at the fact that Dee was going to get married. He couldn't comprehend how stupid he was. Leaving her and not telling her anything, especially at the fact that he kept in touch with Roxann and not Dee? There was so much he regretted. He wanted to be with her. To love her and be proud that she was his. He wanted to see her again. He wanted to get her back. Mena walked over to the nightstand in his current hotel he was staying in. He picked up the wedding invitation Roxann and her mother gave him to Dee's wedding. It hurt him to see her name with another mans name. The whole idea of her getting married to anyone but himself hurt him. He sighed and looked at the card once more. There's no other choice. He needed to see her. Why not? He was invited to the wedding. He placed the card down and started to get ready. He was going to Dee's wedding.
