Cue the Nervous Laughter

     I keep having this reoccurring nightmare, and I feel like I should tell it in total story from so here it goes:

    Tomorrow was going to be the big day. I was finally going to be getting a different last name, and it was to the man I loved most. I couldn't ask for anything better than this.

    I walked down the long hallway of the mansion we'd rented, searching for my room. I pushed open a door- and to my complete horror, I'd walked in on a couple.

     I rushed to shut the door, but stopped- and flipped on the light. The pain in my chest was more painful than anything I'd felt before- because in that bed... was my sister and my fiance. 

    I dropped the candy bars I'd been taking to snack away my anxiety to the floor, my sister looking up at me- "It's not what it looks like-"

     "It's exactly what it looks like," why on Earth was I so calm? Because I was used to her doing this to me? I stared her dead in the eye, my fiance's back staying to me, the covers up to his neck, "how long has this been going on?"

     She scratched her head, picking up a piece of clothing off of the floor and throwing it on so swiftly I didn't even really notice, "you remember when you brought him over for Christmas?" 

    My heart dropped, "that long?" I glanced at my fiance- and I saw him nodding his head, "how could you?" I took a step back in the doorway, "how could either of you?" I asked, shaking my head vigorously, still trying to get the image out of my head, "why would you? I thought that the guy in high school was going to be the last one. Why?" tears swelled in my eyes as I found myself in the doorway.

     "I'm sorry, I just- you find the best guys-" 

     I shook my head again, knowing that that clearly wasn't true- and raced down the hallway, still just in my socks- I grabbed the keys to my car, ran through the rocky driveway, and drove away, my vision blurred.


     What's scary is she has taken guys from me before, so I wouldn't be surprised if this happened.
