"She knows that! If you don't pull yourself together, you're gonna freak Hailee out and she can't cry cause she'll ruin her make up!"
You've been awake for like five seconds and Penelope is already an emotional mess. Aria is trying the tough love approach to calm her down and you're just sitting on the couch with Emma, eating a cream cheese and avocado bagel with your legs crossed underneath you. Your hair is in a messy bun on top of your head and you're wearing your silky white bride kimono.

"Will you both just chill the fuck out?! Penelope, are you okay? Do you need a hug, babe?"
"Yes," she sniffs.
"Come here."
You put your bagel down and open your arms towards Penelope. She shuffles over to you and crawls into your embrace.
"You're getting married."
"I know."
"I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks, babe. Are you sure you're okay? Do you need anything?"
Penelope chuckles and wipes her tears away. "You're not supposed to be comforting me. That's my job. I should be asking you if you need anything. Do you? Need anything?"
You both laugh, Aria rolls her eyes with a smile on her face and Emma smiles while taking another bite.
"I'm good. I'm super excited and calm and just...ready."
"You're seriously the coolest bride ever."
"True. Emma's right."
Aria nods. "Most of them are stressed and bitchy and edgy and bossy. You're so calm and cool."
"What can I say, I'm just an incredibly cool person."
They all laugh and roll their eyes.
Penelope managed to calm down and you all finish your breakfast. You get dressed in your favorite comfy outfit cause you're being picked up to go to the venue. You'll all be getting ready in your suite. Elijah and the guys will be getting ready in Matt and Penelope's room at the venue.
Thinking of how close by he'll be during all of this is giving you butterflies in your stomach.
You arrive at the bridal suite together with your hair stylist and make-up artist. Your wedding planner is already there together with your mom and Elaine. The door opens and you see your dress hanging from the white satin hanger, in front of the giant window. Your mom and Elaine are standing in the middle of the room, looking at you with excited and loving eyes and you start crying. Your heart starts pounding.
"Mom!" You run to her and you both just cry into each other's arms.
"Oh, honey. Are you okay?" You nod but don't say anything.
