Can't help falling in love with you

■●That's still happening●■

   I've been in my room for the past four days just crying my eyes out, I feel like a teenage girl after her first heart break. No ones been able to get a hold of me during these past few days, not Lucian, or, Stella(my bestfriend since the womb practically), my mom, especially my father. I'm to scare to even hear my dad's voice when he walks by my room. So actually talking to him is like talking to death at the moment.

   I was still in my room looking out my balcony painting when I hear a knock at the door. "Who is it" I say "Um... it's me.....Chris" I jumped up from my seat and dash to door. I look like a mess but still a bit "presentable". "Hey" I say with a sympathetic smile "Hey" he says back returning the smile. "Umm.....what's bring you here" "Oh I'm here to remind you about the venue. We still need to look for a new one" "Oh. That's still happening" I say with a shocked face. "Yes" Chris said trying to sound nonchalant but I can tell he was hurt from my comment. "Ok well I can just look for one right now. I didn't like the last one to be honest. I just hope the one I liked isn't booked" I say trying to sound exciting but most likely failing. "Ok. I'll leave you to it. Same date?" "Yeah. If its available." "Ok" and with that he walks out of the room. I'm surprised that he didn't cancel the engagement. No wonder my father hasn't kill me, I wonder if he even told my father of what happened. I hope not.

   After booking the venue, which thankfully wasn't booked for that day and arranging everything to go to the new venue. I took a shower. I've had enough days of being sad.

   I step out of the shower, wrap myself in a towel and step out. When I open the door I see two people on my bed. It was Stella, Lucian, and Stella's dog Roxie laying on the floor. "When did you get back from Costa Rica" I ask stella as I go up to hug her while Roxy is trying to jump on me. She's a greyhound. "I just got here today Ive calling you to pick me up but you didnt answered my calls or text,or the letters.....I'm kidding about the letter but still." She says giving me that ''explain yourself" look.

   "I'm so so sorry but don't take it personal I haven't answered anyone's calls or text" I say I don't want to tell her just yet, I don't think I'm ready to talk about it but she's my bestfriend and she deserves to know.

   "Well then what's up with you even Lucian is acting weird" she says giving him a glare. " No I haven't. Your just jet lagged you don't know what your talking about." He says sounding a but odd. I don't know why. "What are you doing in here Lucian" I say as I walk to my closet to change. "Well I-" he gets cut off by Stella saying "No don't try changing the subject what's up with you"

    《Damm it. Welp I tried. All aboard the sad and pitty train. Toot toot.》

   "Ok well at least let me get dressed and I'll tell you" " Fine but your gonna tell me. For my name is Stella Luna Rays." She says with her right hand on her chest and her left hand in the air.

   After I change into some sweats and flannel crop top. I'm home so I just put on socks. I sit down on the bed next Stella and now Roxy laying on my blanket.

   "Ok now explain yourself ma'am" Stella says. "Ok but where did Lucian go I didn't hear him leave." "He's in the bathroom taking a leak" she says pointing to the bathroom. "Oh ok. Well then, it all started with me running late to a meeting with Chris, his parents, and my dad."

   《. Half way into my story Lucian decided to join the story time. After crying a little but more I told her the whole thing story.》

   "Aww love I'm so sorry" Stella looks at me with pitiful eyes and holds both of my hands with hers. "Thanks I guess. It my fault really. I knew I was betrothed but I still let my feeling cloud my judgment. Now I hurt the man I loved and the man that I'm going to be married to." I say as I get up and start pacing back and forth, biting my lower lip trying to stop myself from crying all over again.

   There was just silence for a while. Even Roxy was quiet. "Guys come on I'm ok. I just have to look toward the future and not dwell on the past. Now how was you time in Costa Rica" I say trying to change the subject not even trying to hide it at this point. "Oh it was fun I guess. Very how do I put it........tropical?" She says sounding weird. "Hmmm" Lucian says. "What do you mean "Hmmm" don't "Hmmm" me Lucian" Stella says sounding off. "Its just you dont look tan. You should have gotten a tan if you where out on the tropical beaches of Costa Rica like you said you where in your Instagram post" Luican even pulls up a post Stella made while she was on her trip. "I mean that was just one day"

   Well this is getting interesting. Thankfully they forgot all about me.

   "But you have multiple post of you lounging on the beach or drinking a nice bottle of champagne on the beach. They all even have different outfits" He says scrolling through a the photos. "The fuck are you, Sherlock Holmes or some shit" She says turing off his phone.
  
   "Ok fine. It was so boring all I did was take a picture with different outfits all on the same day. I knew no one there. I should have gone in a group." "Well then that is another case in my pocket" Lucian says. He wants to become a CSI but dad wouldn't let him, he even took college classes on it. He is still young he has time to go back to college a study something else. He can graduate early like he did last time.

    I know it sounds super unlikely but I swear we just really put our efforts into it because it was a way for us to maybe get away from our father in the future. So we worked so hard.

   "Lucian you should just be a detective or a lawyer." Stella says "I still wanna be a CSI, maybe once I leave here. I'm planning on moving to California. Dad doesn't have any business over there so that might be a way to leave this family behind."

   "Ha you know that's not far enough Lucian. You lucky you get to leave. Once I'm married I have to stay put and become the perfect house wife." I say and just like that it all come back to me. It hit me like a truck going 10000 mph and tears threaten to escape eyes. "Umm....yeah I think I'ma go somewhere..... uh don't wait up for me." I bit my lip trying to not let the tears escape and they nod with a small sympathetic smile , I guess they saw the tear escape before I could wipe it from my cheek.

   I pull up to the art studio and just sit on the red couch I got a long time ago and just feel the warm wet tears escape my eyes. At this point I just don't try to stop them. I though I was ok but I guess I'm not. Slowly the small tears turn into a small sob which turns into a full on crying session. I have to get over it and I will. The wedding is in a few months and I have to be ready to leave my old life behind.

                      5 months later

   Welp today's the day. I stare at myself in the mirror infront of me and for a second I though that I was in a fairytale and I was about to enter my happily ever after. I was sadly mistaken. This was just the beginning.
