Morning

Audrey's P.O.V.-

Today was my wedding. And I was going to marry the man that I didn't love. All I could think about as I sat up in my bed was how much I wished Aziz was Harry. I turned towards my clock, seeing that it was 7 am. God, why was I up this early? Oh right, my mother was bagging n the door violently. 

"Come in!" I called out, stretching my arms as I sat up in bed. 

I was currently wearing a silk white nightgown which was extremely comfortable to sleep in. My hair had been put into curlers, by a hairstylist so that it would look perfect for today. My mother threw the door open heading into the room smiling brightly, as she and Aziz's mom headed into my room.

"Darling there you are!" Mother said with a grin, which I returned halfheartedly.

"IRight where you left me," I answered climbing out of bed, reaching for my light pink silk, robe, putting my fete in my fluffy light blue slippers.

"Since the wedding's going to be downstairs in the garden we'll get you ready here!" My mother said clapping her hands together as she headed into my walk-in closet to retrieve the wedding dress she'd picked out for me. 

A moment later mother came back out of the closet holding the clothing hanger of the large white ball gown, with the long sleeves. She hadn't even asked me if I'd liked it. But then again I would've said no just to bother her. I walked over to my bathroom, quickly using the restroom and freshening up before heading back out with a fake smile on my face. 

Both my mother and Jasmine smiled graciously upon seeing me freshened up as my mother handed over my wedding dress. I took it begrudgingly stepping into my walk-in closet to get dressed. The dress was somewhat hard to put on because of the petticoat underneath it. 

But I refused to ask either of the moms for help. After a while, I finally managed to get dressed. I also had some shorts underneath the dress. As I looked my self in the full body mirror I couldn't stop the tears that ran down my cheeks. 

I was going to get married today to a man that I didn't love. While the man I did love watched in pain from the side. All of this because my parents wanted to raise their royal status, and because royals should marry royals. I mean what if I didn't want to be a royal anymore? What if I didn't want the title? What if I just wanted to be plain old Audrey Rose? What if I wanted to be with plain old Harry Hook. 

Oh, why on earth did he and I have to be defined by our titles? Why did people have to see us as the pirate and the princess? Why couldn't we just be the boy and girl that fell in love? I looked at myself one last time wiping away my tears putting on a brave face as I breathed in deeply. I had to do this. 

Because I knew that my mother would never forgive me if I ran out of this wedding. But as I stepped out of the closet, I knew deep down that I'd never truly been happy again if went through with this wedding. But I also knew that I had to do this, or I'd never hear the end of this. ANd my mother isn't a barrel of laughs when she doesn't get her way. 

I kept my head held high as my mother and Aziz's mother both squealed with delight. I smiled lightly at them, ignoring the pang in my heart telling me that this was wrong. Because it felt dirty, to go and marry Aziz right in front of my boyfriend. Wow, my boyfriend. It had a nice ring to it. 

I smiled genuinely at the thought of Harry being my boyfriend, as my mother led me over to my vanity, calling in my hairdresser, who came in excited to start working in my hair. I knew I was due to cry at any moment, so all I could do as they pulled at my hair turning me into the perfect bride was thinking about Harry.

And all that could've been.
