There for me 2(A KOTLC Sokeefe Story)

Chapter 20- Sophie

OMG! I just realised I left you guys on a cliffhanger-ish, and you're probably really mad. Sorry about that. Anyways, I'm going to try and update as many of my stories as possible today, so if you're reading my other stories, check out the updates later. ~Allybear

There was a lot of screaming. And when I say a lot, I mean, everyone shouting different questions at the same time and at full volume. I couldn't take it.

"STOP!" I shout over the chaos. They all stare at me. 

"One at a time please, and at a normal volume." I instruct. Keefe sits beside me.

"Sorry. I get why you didn't tell us, but won't Oralie be kicked off the council?" He asks.

"Yes. Which is why you can't tell anyone." Mr. Forkle chimes in.

"Me next. Are you okay? I mean you've had to keep this to yourself this whole time." Biana gives me a concerned look and a hug.

"I guess I'm dealing. She knows that I know. Also, I know you guys are going to ask about what happens now, and I want you to know that no matter how much I'm really related to Oralie, I'm staying with you guys." I direct the last part to Edaline and Grady. We all do a group hug. 

"Okay. We still have a wedding to plan so everyone, OUT!" Biana ushers everyone else out of the room, until it's just the girls. Stina also comes back in. 

"So, you want Oralie as the person marrying you right? Okay well I can set up a meeting with her and see when she's available." She tells us, not looking up from her clipboard. 

"Okay great. You can do that now. Let her know we want the wedding to be in 3 months." I say, practically shoving her out of the room.

"Okay so we're pretty much done here. We have the place, the colours, the people, the decorations which we only need to pick up. Now all we have to do is write the vows and find the dresses. Easy!" Linh cheers. Marella rolls her eyes. 

"It's not that easy. The dresses won't take five minutes to find. Especially Sophie's. Also, I think Edaline should help with the vows. She is he mom after all."  She adds.

"I think that's perfect. Are you good with that mom?" I ask Edaline she nods and wraps me in a hug.

"Of course." She adds after.

"Great! Let's plan to go dress shopping next week. Can you guys meet here at 9:30 on Tuesday?" Biana asks going full party plan mode.

"I can since, you know, I live here. Eve adds jokingly.

"Sounds good for me. I have no plans." Marella says.

"Same here." Linh agrees. 

"Well then, see you guys!" I say. The all begin to leave.

"Biana! Wait I forgot to mention, make sure you bring your mom with you!" I call. She nods and pulls out her home crystal. Stina walks back in as soon as everyone else is gone. 

"Where is everyone?" She asks, looking around.

"Just left. You can go too if you want." Evangeline comments. 

"Listen, I know I haven't been nice to you, but.....nevermind. I won't bother you. I understand if you don't want me in the wedding." Stina says, looking away from me. I feel really guitly. I remember something I hear Biana telling Eve a few days ago.  "You know she only wants to be in the wedding to please her mom? I heard her yelling at Stina, something about a bad match and clearing things up? Anyways, her mom made deal with the council. I'm pretty sure that if she gets a role in the wedding, her parents are cleared from being a bad match."  

Then my mind flashes through the faces of Dex's family. Faced with scorn for years form being a bad match. I come up with an idea.

"Listen Stina. I think I know what your problem is, and let me honest with you, some people have it worse. You want to end this, you have to help me with something." I tell her. She looks at me with surprise, and a hint of gratefulness.

"Thank you." She chokes out. She heads for the door, but before she leaves, I whisper the plan in her ear. She nods, pulling out her crystal. I knew I would have to explain to Eve and Edaline, but I couldn't tell them just yet. This had to work perfectly.
