Maybe Ever After

Chapter Nine

Nova's POV

Flashback continues

I was pacing back and forth in my living room, Trish was seated cuddling my teddy, fool! Miley on the other hand was seated next to Honey.

We just couldn't believe her mom was marrying Samuel. Tara will feel so high, only heaven knows what she will make out this.

"This can't happen" Honey almost cried, I know how much she hates these weddings.

"It won't" Miley assured her, my whole head on the other hand was a total mess thinking about how to put an end to this craziness.

"Maybe you should just tell her you don't want it" Trish told her probably without thinking, how would she expect Honey walking up to her mom only to tell her she does not want her to marry who she wants to marry.

Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with Trish, she never even knows what to say at anytime. Honey shot her a really bad face.

"Really?" Miley asked her with a durr face. But she just scoffs at Miley and focused on Twinkie, my teddy.

"I have a better idea" I told them, all eyes were on me at the same time, expecting me to say something or explain myself.

"There is this boy who has been following me for some time now and I think I can strike a deal with him" Trish was the first to talk, she opened her big for nothing mouth to just talk, like always.

"Ooooh, a boy, is he cute? Tell me is he..."

"That is not the main thing her Trish, so please just shut up" Miley was quick to shut her up, she picked up Twinkie, put on her slip-on and left, giving an extra sway to her hips.

Yeah, we get that! She is being bitchy, at least though, we can talk in peace.

"How can he help?" Honey asked, she was so eager to ruin this wedding uhn, well so am I.

I explained every bit of my plan to them, and even the deal I will have to propose.

"The only issue is, I hope he accepts" I rounded up and took my seat, yeah, presentation is over.

"So how do you know he can help, he might be willing but can he?" Honey also nodded going along with the question, that question I can't even be sure of.

"He can" I assured them, even though I was not sure. Come on, I don't want any brooding in my house tonight.

I made chocolate afterall and we might even get some of the drinks I have kept in my room, I never know when mom will come home, I can't risk her seeing alcoholic drinks in the house.

She will start a very long lecture on how I am still quite young and how alcohol affects my brain and even my studies, how I might not be able to control my hangover and how it is ungodly.

Talking about being Godly, the last time I went to church was eight years ago, before mom became an air hostess, dad was already a pilot. Ever since dad got Mom a job as an air hostess, they were never home.

I got to do whatever it is I liked and going to church was not one of it, not that I don't love God but I hate the hypocrisy that comes with it.

Pastors acts like they are the most holy, their wives acts like no one is better than them, the kids in the church has their own group and some don't like the other.

I once had a crush on Stephanie in my church and I got confused as to my sexuality, mom told me to speak with the pastor and he called me a bad egg, immoral and all sort of names. I could not forget that day.

He had me kneel in front of him and started casting out demons, spirit of immorality, all the spirits causing me to derail. Like seriously? Homosexuality is legal.

No I'm not les, it was just a pure feeling of attraction, like, I love the way she dresses, the way she talks and walks, I just loved her purely as a person but 10 year old me was thinking of it as a crush.

I noticed it, people talked to me less and even Stephanie started avoiding me, I get those judgemental eyes from people and it dawned on me that my mom's pastor, yes my mom's pastor because he is not mine.

So, my mom's pastor has told the whole congregation, it was worse when Stephanie told me.

"My mom said I should stay far away from you because you are bad and you want to do bad things to me. Demons were cast out of you!" She cringed at the thought of demons casting and walked away.

The pastor always promises not to tell anyone about private discussions but he told mine.

Later on, his wife was pregnant for a 20-years-old in the church, now is that not more crazy than being gay?

Hypocrites!

We had enough to drink and later Trish joined us, not like we cared though, we know her for who she is, that is the key to friendship.

We played loud music, Honey and I got tired later and just watched as Miley and Trish had fun. The twerked and even grinded on each other. Idiots.

The last thing I expected though was 300+ notifications from Instagram. Trish just had to post the whole shit🤦

"Triiiiiish" I yelled from my room as I stomped down the stairs only to find her crazy ass doing another twerk video, yeah. That is how she gains her millions of followers, by doing twerk videos most times in just panties.

"Why you screaming my name, I'm live" she said in anger and quickly went offline but guess what, I DON'T CARE!

"Underage drinking, that is what we are being arrested for" I told her, we weren't arrested yet but we will be, very soon.

"Calm down, none of my Instagram followers know I am underage, so my friends won't be underage either. I have our fake IDs" she explained, something I don't get her, Fake IDs?

"You Crazy!!!!!!!" Miley yelled from upstairs, I swear the whole house vibrated. Trish quickly picked her phone and ran out of the house with Miley going after her. Miley parents are extra strict, they have a "reputation" to uphold.

This will be the death of Miley.
