*Narrator*
Alisha and her friends all lay down on the blanket covered floor, talking and spilling tea. They hadn't done this in forever, telling and catching up on each other. Even Kylie, you may think she'd be discluded from them, but everyone tried to keep her into the conversations. They all liked her, even Nowrin, even though Kylie dislikes her. Everyone already knows how Alisha truly feels about this wedding, even if she didn't know it herself.
"You know I'll drag you out of there" Adrina says earning a laugh from Alisha. "You don't need to I...I love him." She says staring at the ceiling, they all were. The other 5 girls look at each other, knowing it isn't true. Adrina sighs and nods. "At least we all will look stunning" She says and they all giggle. "I really thought you'd marry...you know" Kylie says and all heads turn to her. "They know about him" Alisha says to Kylie and she nods in realization, with an "o" shaped her lips are curved at. "About who?" They all chime and Alisha face palms herself.
-Event number 1-
Alishas POV:
These days are going to be hectic, having to check in with the venue and all, making sure everything is in place and is set is stressing. But today is one of the events before the wedding. I had Kylie and Jake drive over here to help me clean the house up. Well mostly I'm cleaning while they just make out in the corner of my living room.
"Oh cmon I just cleaned that table!" I yell out as Jake has Kylie on a coffee table. She both laugh but continue, that's when the front door opens. I turn to see Shawn. He must've came in with the spare key ai gave him. "Oh thank God you're here." I say and go over to him. "Could you please get those two in check while I go clean up?" I ask already heading up the stairs leaving him no choice. Hopefully they aren't making out when my parents come, that'll just be...awkward. I quickly hop into the shower, cleaning myself off from the dust from around the house. I would take a longer shower but guests are about to come right about now and I practically slept in, making me do things last minute. I get dressed into casual clothes, it is just a small get together for both Zayn and I's family. I blow-dry my hair, putting it half up and half down. I hurry back downstairs to see Jake at the door with his arm around Kylies waist, as they have the door opened, letting in guests. I quickly go to Zayns parents, hugging them and having a polite conversation. God this is excruciating. Finally Zayn comes in, carrying the conversation and I excuse myself. When I see my parents I run to them hugging them tightly. My brother ruffles my hair, messing it up and I roll my eyes, blowing a peice of loose hair off my face. Soon enough, the house is filled with people. I feel a bunch of arms around me from behind, making me stumble forward. "Heyy!" I turn around to be greeted by Nowrin, Adrina, and Ayeshah. Sadly Ruzan couldn't make it for today. I smile hugging them, man my face hurts from smiling at everyone-
"We just spoke with Zayn" Nowrin says and they all look at each other. "What?" I ask confused and they shake their heads. "Nothing." they say and I nod weirded out. "Anyways introduce us to him" Ayeshah says pointing over to the kitchen, where Shawn is away from everyone. "He's kinda cute" She says and I turn to look at her with my mouth slightly open before I hit her arm. "That's Shawn." I say rolling my eyes. "Oooooooooooh" They all say in unison and I mentally facepalm myself. "My comment still stands."Ayeshah says at last and we all laugh. "Yah yah cmon" I say walking to the kitchen with them behind me. Kylie and Jake are having a conversation with Zayn, this would be the first time Kylie talks to Zayn. Shawn sees us coming and puts his cup down on the counter. "Guys this is Shawn, Shawn this is Adrina, Nowrin, and Ayeshah." I say. It's kinda awkward for a second. "You know uh I need to use the bathroom-" Shawn starts as he slowly backs away and I glare at him, making him stay in his spot. Nowrin walks up to him, slapping him across the face. "That's for making her feel like shit before" She says walking away. My eyes widen as I stifle a laugh. "Uh you guys go ahead." I say and they look between me and Shawn. "Don't worry" I say pushing them along. Once they leave I turn back to Shawn with his slightly red cheek. "Uhm hold on" I say reaching over to the freezer, grabbing a small ice pack. "You knwo I should jsut get going-" He starts awkwardly and I frown. He moves past me but I grab his arm. I let go of him quickly as he turns around. "Are yiu avoiding me?" I ask and he presses his lips together, making me frown more. I go on my tip toes, pressing the ice pack on his cheek. "Look...we can uhm still be friends right?" I ask and he looks at me. He opens his mouth before closing it again. He puts his hand over mine on the ice pack, and I remove my hand going back in my feet. "Yea sure" He says with a nod and I smile. "Great" I say before I hear my name being called. I look at my parents seeing them gesturing to a bunch of other people. I look back at Shawn. "I should probably-"
"Yah go" He says with a slight smile, a sad smile. I look at him for a moment before nodding at going to my parents and the other people.
-Event 2-
Everyine that came yesterday, mostly got a hotel, beside Zayn and my parents. They stayed in the extra rooms we had. The house is decorated with flowers hung on the ceiling, but the venue is much much prettier. Today is the day Zayn and I sign the marriage contract, and after that it's just a party. So once again, people fill the house, less people this time. They all gather around us as Zayn and I sit on the couch with a contract on the coffee table. My eyes keep wandering to Shawn's, who's again away from everyone but watching us, as the marriage guy talks, but I'm barely even listening to him. "Miss?" He says catching my attention and I jump back to reality? "Uh yes?" I ask and he holds out a pen. "You need to sign it." He says as I take the pen slowly. I hesitate a bit, staring at the words on the paper. "Alisha" My mom whisper hisses at me. I put then pen to the paper and sign my name. Everyone let's out a hoot and go to the backyard or upstairs to celebrate. I don't really feel like celebrating tho. Zayn pulls me into a side hug, kissing my cheek and a force a smile. I shake my head, What am i thinking? I'm getting married. Tomorrow. I should be happy. Or at least try to be. I get up walking to all my cousins that flew out. I would pick them up but I'm pretty sure they weigh more than me now-
I'm feeling a little bit better, or trying to at least. Although my eyes would wander to Shawn, but I quickly avert them to Zayn. Watching him talk and laugh with his family. You know it's silly, when I was younger, And I found out about Shawn and his parents. How he never had a father to teach him things, an older brother to teach him how to be a good big brother, I would think about him with my own family. Him with my dad, him with my brother. I shake my head. No, Zayn with them now. Maybe going through with the wedding will help sort things out.
